- Fully inorganic, non-flammable, does not outgas or carbonize
- Easier to machine than other
machinable ceramics
- Can be drilled, bored and
tapped with standard tooling
- Exceptional dimensional stability even at high temperature
- Molds and machines much like plastics
- No post firing is required after machining or molding
- Can accommodate metal inserts
during molding
- Impervious to moisture, oils and gasses
- Does not age, has long shelf-life
- Withstands thermal cycling
- Low thermal conductivity, excellent thermal insulator
- Can be thick film metallized using metal inks or thin
film sputtered
- High dielectric strength and low electrical loss
- High arc resistance
- Can be glued with epoxy and sealing glass
- Vacuum tight with both machined and molded forms
