Copper Pellets

Formula: Cu

Form: Pellet/Lump

Material: Copper

CAS Number: 7440-50-8

Commodity: Metals

Copper Pellets offered by Goodfellow represent an important form of this versatile metal. With excellent thermal and electrical conductivity paired with good corrosion resistance, copper in pellet form retains the key properties of bulk copper. The pellets can be easily handled and fed into industrial processes. Potential applications include use as feedstock for manufacture of copper wire and piping, friction and braking components in machines, electrodes, and heat exchangers. With dimensions from 2-20mm, Goodfellow's copper pellets cover a range of sizes useful for research and industry.
