| The CTE of Macor® matches most metals and sealing glasses. It is nonwetting, exhibits zero porosity, and, unlike ductile materials, will not deform. It is an excellent insulator at high voltages, various frequencies, and high temperatures. When properly baked out, it will not outgas in vacuum. Used in ultra-high vacuum environments, constant vacuum applications, aerospace, nuclear-related experiments (not affected dimensionally by irradiation), welding nozzles, electrode and furnace fixtures, and medical equipment.
