Copper Sheets – Overview

What Are Copper Sheets?

Copper sheets are flat, thin pieces of copper metal produced by rolling copper ingots. Known for their excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability, they are widely used in electrical, industrial, decorative, and architectural applications.

Available Finishes
  • Polished / Bright Finish
  • Mill Finish (natural reddish-brown)
  • Patinated (green or antique finish)
  • Embossed / Textured for decorative use

Copper Sheet

Key Properties of Copper Sheets
  • Excellent Electrical Conductivity : Among the best of all metals; ideal for electrical wiring, connectors, and conductive parts.
  • Superior Thermal Conductivity : Efficient in heat transfer; used in heat exchangers, cookware, and HVAC systems.
  • Corrosion Resistance : Naturally resists corrosion; develops a protective greenish patina (copper oxide) when exposed to air over time.
  • Malleability & Workability : Easy to cut, bend, stamp, and shape into complex forms.
  • Antimicrobial Properties : Naturally kills bacteria and microbes; used in hospitals, kitchens, and sanitary fittings.
  • Durability : Strong and long-lasting; withstands wear and environmental exposure.
  • Recyclability : 100% recyclable without loss of properties; eco-friendly material.
Applications of Copper Sheets
  • Electrical Industry : Bus bars, connectors, switchgear, PCB parts, and wiring components.
  • Construction & Architecture : Roofing, wall cladding, gutters, domes, spires, and interior design elements.
  • HVAC & Plumbing : Heat exchangers, radiators, water pipes, and tanks.
  • Decorative & Artistic : Furniture, sculptures, nameplates, jewelry, and handicrafts.
  • Cookware & Kitchenware : Cooking utensils, pots, pans, and countertops due to high thermal conductivity.
  • Medical & Sanitary : Hospital surfaces, sinks, and touchpoints for antimicrobial protection.
Common Grades of Copper Sheets
  • C110 (Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper – ETP Copper) : 99.9% pure copper; excellent electrical conductivity; widely used in electrical and industrial applications.
  • C101 (Oxygen-Free High Conductivity Copper – OFHC) : 99.99% pure; superior conductivity and ductility; used in electronics, vacuum systems, and aerospace.
  • C122 (Phosphor-Deoxidized Copper) : Excellent corrosion resistance and weldability; used in plumbing, roofing, and HVAC systems.
