Ceramatest® 1600 - Glass-Mica Composite
Ceramatest ® 1600 is a compression molded glass mica composite that is the perfect alternative to high performance plastics and ceramics where high temperature, good dielectric strength and good arc resistance are required. This material is softer than other high temperature machinable ceramics allowing for the fabrication of intricate or complex shapes. It can be drilled or tapped and can accommodate helicoil inserts. In addition, no post firing is required after fabrication.
