Macor Plate

Macor Plate is a high-performance glass-ceramic with excellent insulation, chemical durability, and thermal stability from -270°C to +800°C. Its microcrystalline structure with embedded mica enhances thermal shock resistance and prevents crack propagation. With low thermal expansion and zero porosity, Macor offers stable, precise performance in vacuum and high-temperature environments. It can be machined to tight tolerances using standard metal tools, without the need for molds or sintering. This makes it especially suitable for aerospace, medical, electronic, and scientific applications requiring custom-shaped, thermally stable components. Heeger Materials offers high-quality Macor Plates with reliable performance and a fast turnaround.

Macor Plate Properties

Macor Plate Chemical Compositions

Macor Plate Key Features

• Wide Operating Temperature Range: Performs reliably from -270°C up to +800°C, making it suitable for both cryogenic and high-heat applications.
• Easily Machinable: Can be precisely machined using conventional metalworking tools without the need for post-firing or special processes.
• Excellent Electrical Insulation: Maintains stable dielectric strength across a wide range of temperatures and frequencies.
• Zero Porosity: Fully dense and non-porous, allowing use in vacuum systems without outgassing.
• Thermal Shock Resistance: The mica-containing microstructure minimizes cracking under sudden temperature changes.

Macor Plate Applications

• Vacuum Chambers and Feedthroughs: Used in high-vacuum environments for their zero porosity and low outgassing properties.
• Semiconductor Equipment: Serves as an insulating platform or spacer in wafer processing tools due to its excellent electrical insulation and machinability.
• Medical and Laboratory Devices: Ideal for precision holders, carriers, and thermal shields in analytical instruments.
• Aerospace and Defense Systems: Used in avionics and sensor housings that require both electrical insulation and dimensional stability under temperature extremes.
• Custom Fixturing and Prototyping: Easily machined into complex shapes for rapid development of test jigs, insulators, and thermal components.

Macor Plate Packing 

The Macor Plate will be carefully placed in wooden cases or cartons, with additional support from soft materials, to prevent shifting during transportation. This packaging method guarantees the integrity of the products throughout the delivery process.
