Macor is a machinable vitroceramic with a density of 2.52 g/cm3 and capable of resisting temperatures up to 1,000°C for a short term. Macor stands out for its excellent machinability when dry, and by its low thermal conductivity (1.46 W/(m·K)), making it an effective insulator for high temperatures, and an excellent electrical insulator.
Shapal Hi-M Soft has a high thermal conductivity (92 W/(m·K)) and good mechanical properties. Shapal Hi-M Soft is slightly more difficult to machine than Macor but is excellent for heat dissipation.
Final Advanced Materials recommends Macor for prototyping or complex parts with a maximum continuous temperature of 800°C and a short-term temperature of 1,000°C, and Shapal Hi-M Soft for challenging thermal applications.
