Surface Treatment

Supplied in thicknesses from 0.2mm to 6mm, our copper strips are available for immediate supply on an ex-stock basis. Copper strip is a malleable product which benefits from high thermal and electrical conductivity. Heat dissipation in copper is superior to other alloys, including aluminium. Copper strips offer high tensile strength combined with excellent corrosion resistance and benefits from a high degree of dimensional stability. Copper is also non-sparking and non-magnetic. Predominantly, the product finds extensive use in the global electronics sector.

Specific Applications

Engineering applications of copper in strip form include heat-sinks, heat exchangers, condensers, lightning conductors, switchgear, wiring looms, connectors, submersible pumps, roofs, flashings and outside structures. Strip products are also often favoured in the arts and crafts sector, including model making.
