Mica-Containing Glass-Ceramic (IEC 60672 Type GM-120)

GM-120 glass ceramic is a glass-type material. It has a moderately low dielectric strength among the glass and glass-ceramics in the database. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare GM-120 glass ceramic to other glass and glass-ceramics (top) and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
