About Copper (Unrefined)
Unrefined copper, also called blister copper or copper cathodes, consists of impure copper containing 98-99.95% copper with trace elements like silver, gold, and selenium. Primary uses include electrical wiring, construction, automotive components, and industrial machinery. International trade focuses on cathodes (99.99% purity) and blister copper (98-99% purity), with anode slimes as a byproduct. Major producers include Chile, Peru, China, and Australia, with exports concentrated in these regions plus Congo and Indonesia. Buyers should verify impurity composition, particularly oxygen and sulfur levels, as these significantly affect downstream processing and final product quality, especially in electrical applications requiring high conductivity.
