From the industrial heart of Hamilton, New Zealand, Hemi Metals is proud to supply local industry with the unmatched quality of Copper C10500 bar and rods. We understand that your projects demand reliable materials, and this high-conductivity copper is a cornerstone for countless applications. As a dedicated New Zealand manufacturer and supplier, we ensure consistent quality and local availability, providing you with the foundational materials needed to build, create, and power your innovations right here in our community.
Copper C10500, often called electrolytic tough pitch copper, boasts a exceptional purity of over 99.95%. This composition is the secret to its outstanding electrical and thermal conductivity, which rank among the highest of any common metal. While being a relatively soft metal, it offers good ductility and formability, allowing it to be easily drawn, bent, and shaped without losing its essential integrity. It also provides respectable strength and excellent corrosion resistance, making it a durable choice for demanding environments.
