What is Copper?

Our C110 half-hard copper is classified as electrolytic copper, which basically means it’s an extremely high purity (greater than 99% copper, ours is 99.9%). For your projects, this means that the material’s electrical properties won’t be hampered by any erroneous leftover elements. You’re getting one of the purest grades available.

What can you make with Copper?

Copper, only surpassed by silver in its electrical properties, is perfect for hospital settings due to its antimicrobial nature. In diagnostic equipment, you’ll find this material assisting in transmitting signals for examination and providing the necessary structure in small, vital implants.

Send us your design and we’ll help you manufacture the highest-quality busbars, heat sinks, connectors and more.
