What is C1100 coin?

Copper C1100 (also known as Copper C1100 or C1100 ETP ) is a pure electrolytic copper with a copper content of up to 99.9% , belonging to the red copper group with the highest electrical and thermal conductivity among copper alloys.
Thanks to its purity , ease of processing, and outstanding electrical and thermal conductivity , C1100 is commonly used in the electrical, electronics, precision mechanics, and manufacturing of industrial components .

Chemical composition of copper C1100

Thành phần Hàm lượng (%)
Đồng (Cu) ≥ 99.90
Oxy (O₂) 0.02 – 0.04
Tạp chất khác ≤ 0.05

The high copper content gives the C1100 its characteristic metallic red color, while ensuring high transmission efficiency and good stability during use.

Outstanding properties of C1100 copper

  • Extremely high electrical and thermal conductivity: second only to silver, the optimal choice for electrical equipment and wires.
  • Easy to flatten and draw: convenient for processing such as stamping, bending, rolling, welding .
  • Good corrosion and oxidation resistance: suitable for humid environments and mild chemicals.
  • Shiny, highly aesthetic surface: can be polished, plated, or protected.
  • Good mechanical stability: no brittleness or cracking when processed at high temperatures.

Why is C1100 copper often used in production and manufacturing?

  1. Applications in the electrical and electronic industry:
    Copper C1100 is the main material for the production of electrical wires, busbars, cable ends, contactors, circuit boards and electronic components .
    High conductivity helps reduce energy loss, ensuring stability and safety in power transmission.
  2. Mechanical processing, molds, precision components:
    Thanks to its good flexibility and formability, C1100 is easy to mill, turn, stamp, cut, and weld , helping to save processing time and improve product accuracy.
  3. Production of decorative and fine art products:
    With luxurious metallic red color, C1100 is also used in the interior, decoration, handicraft and high-end architecture industries .
  4. High compatibility in soldering and plating:
    C1100 copper can be soft soldered, hard soldered or plated with nickel, tin, silver without reducing surface quality, suitable for high technical requirements.
