Features  

High Electrical Conductivity: C11000 copper is known for its excellent electrical conductivity, which is among the highest of all pure metals. This property makes it ideal for applications where efficient electrical transmission is critical, such as in electrical wiring, power distribution systems, busstrips, and electrical contacts.

Good Thermal Conductivity: Besides electrical conductivity, C11000 copper also exhibits good thermal conductivity. This feature is beneficial in applications where effective heat dissipation or thermal management is required, such as in heat exchangers, cooling systems, and industrial machinery.

Corrosion Resistance: Copper, including C11000, naturally forms a protective oxide layer when exposed to air, which enhances its resistance to corrosion. This makes C11000 copper strips suitable for use in environments where exposure to moisture, humidity, or corrosive elements is a concern, such as in plumbing systems or marine applications.

Malleability and Ductility: C11000 copper is highly malleable and ductile, meaning it can be easily formed, bent, and shaped without cracking or weakening. This property allows for easy fabrication into various forms, including strips, rods, strips, and custom shapes, to meet specific application requirements.

Ease of Joining: C11000 copper strips can be welded, brazed, soldered, or mechanically joined using standard techniques, facilitating their integration into complex assemblies or structures.

Antimicrobial Properties: Copper, including C11000, possesses inherent antimicrobial properties, which inhibit the growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi on its surface. This property is increasingly recognized and utilized in applications requiring hygiene and sanitation, such as in healthcare facilities and food processing equipment.

Recyclability: Copper is highly recyclable without any loss of its inherent properties, making C11000 copper strips an environmentally sustainable choice.
