Price of hand-peeled old copper
Due to its purity, hand-peeled copper can be easily remelted and used in a wide variety of new products, such as copper windings for electric motors, generators, coils, and electromagnets. In addition, smelters that produce specific bronze or brass alloys, for example, use this pure copper to adjust the composition of their melt to the correct proportions.
Because it is a pure, unalloyed copper, it is easy to bend. This is necessary, of course, to ensure the power cable’s flexibility, but also to provide optimal electrical conductivity. The purer the copper, the better the conductivity.
Copper is known not only as an excellent conductor of electricity but also of heat, and it is used in data communications. Without copper, computers and cell phones would not exist.
The price of hand-peeled copper is largely determined by the copper price on the LME. This is used to determine the copper price per metric ton. This price per metric ton provides an indication but does not yet represent the exact copper price for recycling. The final price is determined by the quality of the material, the margin of the copper smelter, the margin of intermediaries, and also by supply and demand.
Product Features of Hand-Peeled Copper
Hand-stripped copper comes from stripped copper cables and has a purity of 99.99%. This high level of purity is guaranteed by the manual processing of the copper cable into pure copper wire. It is also known as hand-stripped red copper because of its bright, shiny red color.
The material must be free of tinned copper, varnished copper, oxidized copper, burnt copper, enamel-coated copper wire, greasy hand-stripped copper from underground cable (with or without paper), brass deposits, and other contaminants.
Fun fact about hand-stripped copper: it comes from the production of new cables and from manually stripping old copper cables.
