December 27, 2008
MACOR reportedly delivers the performance of a technical ceramic with the versatility of a high-performance plastic.

Through its acquisition of the UK-based Technical Glass Co., Goodfellow is able to supply an enhanced range of MACOR® glass ceramic products as both machinable material (rods, plates, bars and discs) and finished components that are precision-machined to customer specifications.

Machinable with ordinary metalworking tools, MACOR delivers the performance of a technical ceramic with the versatility of a high-performance plastic. The material is strong and rigid, an excellent insulator, and has a high maximum use temperature (800°C continuous, 1000°C peak) and low thermal conductivity.
