Copper granules are supplied for metallurgical and industrial use.
Copper granules are small, refined particles of high-purity (often 99.9%) copper, primarily produced by recycling electrical cables, wires, and scrap. These versatile granules, ranging in size from roughly 0.3mm to 4mm, are used in industrial applications, including the production of alloys, salts, oxides, pigments, and in jewelry casting.
Key Aspects of Copper Granules:
Production & Quality: They are created by shredding, melting, and purifying copper scrap, removing insulation and contaminants to ensure high conductivity and purity.
Industrial Applications: Used extensively for manufacturing, soldering, welding, and as catalysts in chemical reactions.
Specialized Uses:
Agriculture: Certain granules are used in soil treatments.
Roofing: 3M copper granules are designed to prevent algae growth on roofs.
Laboratory: Used for sulfur removal.
Characteristics: They are typically low-dust and feature high density.
Copper granules are often categorized by their purity level, such as 1A or 1B (uncoated/unalloyed) or II (refined), with sizes commonly around 35 mesh.
