Infinity Copper Rod Process
COPPERWORKS uses state-of-the-art technology to produce Infinity copper rod, which is 99.9% pure and meets ASTM B-49 standards. The Infinity process has a significantly lower impact on the environment because reclaimed copper is melted and refined to make new copper products. And because copper can be infinitely recycled without losing its essential physical properties, this process is highly sustainable and economical.
Elemental Copper Rod Process
By combining the latest shaft furnace technology in the industry and its rod production expertise, COPPERWORKS, through its Elemental process, is committed to producing the highest quality ETP rod currently available in the market.
