More info

Macor Rod offers high compressive strength, excellent insulation, and thermal stability up to 1000°C (non-load-bearing). Unlike plastics that lose rigidity above 150°C, Macor stays dimensionally stable without deformation. It can be machined to tight tolerances (up to 0.0005 in) using standard metal tools, with no sintering or post-firing required. Its zero porosity and radiation resistance make it ideal for aerospace, vacuum, and electrical systems. Heeger Materials (HM) provides high-quality Macor rod with reliable performance for advanced ceramic applications.

Macor Rod Key Features

  • High Temperature Resistance: Operates continuously up to 800°C and withstands peaks up to 1000°C without deformation or outgassing.
  • Excellent Electrical Insulation: Offers stable dielectric strength, making it ideal for use in electronic and high-voltage environments.
  • Precision Machinability: Can be easily machined to tight tolerances (up to 0.013 mm) using standard metalworking tools—no sintering required.
  • Thermal Shock Resistance: Mica crystals within the microstructure help prevent crack propagation under rapid temperature changes.
  • Zero Porosity & Vacuum Compatibility: Non-porous structure ensures gas-tight performance in vacuum and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems.

Macor Rod Applications

  • High-Temperature Insulators: Used in electric furnaces, heaters, and high-vacuum systems where thermal and electrical insulation are essential.
  • Medical Device Components: Applied in precision diagnostic tools and surgical equipment that require biocompatibility and dimensional stability.
  • Aerospace Structures: Ideal for lightweight, non-outgassing parts in satellites, aircraft sensors, and thermal barrier systems.
  • Semiconductor Processing: Used in wafer supports, insulating rods, and high-purity fixtures exposed to plasma or corrosive environments.
  • Laboratory Instrumentation: Serves as structural and insulating supports in spectrometers, vacuum chambers, and radiation detection systems.

Macor Rod Packing 

The Macor Rod 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.
