Properties
Macor has a density of 2.52 g/cm3, and a thermal conductivity of 1.46 W/(m·K). Its low-temperature (25 to 300 °C) thermal expansion is 9.3×10-6 m/(m·K). Its compressive strength is 50×103 lb/in2 (~350 MPa). Nominal engineering properties are comparable to borosilicate glass.
Macor is a very good insulator with excellent tolerance. Even with temperature changes, its low thermal expansion ensures that its shape changes very little.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
