Copper
Copper is a versatile metal used in many industries; it is known to maximize the performance of products that contain it, helping to support energy conservation and cost savings. The physical properties of copper are among its most unique features. Other than gold, it is the only metal that is naturally colored.
Ultra metals and minerals offers Copper Cathodes, Continuous copper cast rods and different variety of copper bars and thicknesses which can be sheared or saw cut to your size specifications. When copper is exposed to natural elements, it will patina and develop a greenish or bluish hue over time.
Copper Cathode
Copper cathode is the primary raw material input for the production of copper rod for the wire and cable industry. Copper cathodes are used as a raw material feed for the production of high purity copper and are used in the manufacturing of continuous cast copper rods which are further used for the wire, cable and transformer industries. They are also used for the manufacturing of copper tubes for consumer durable goods and other applications in the form of alloys and sheets
Continuous Copper cast rods
The Continuous cast copper rods meet all international quality standards, Its homogeneous structure and fine grain size results in outstanding drawability. It can be drawn to an ultra-fine fire at a high yield rate. Ultra Metals and Minerals is one of the major exporters of the continuous cast copper in Zambia.
The copper content in these rods contains more than 99.99% of purity of copper are first melted down in a cathode shaft furnace under strict process monitoring.
