C1100
C1100 is a commercially pure copper (also known as electrolytic tough pitch copper, ETP) with very high electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent ductility, and good corrosion resistance. It is widely used in electrical conductors, bus bars, wiring, and heat exchangers.
Electrolytic tough pitch copper, designated as C11000, is one of the most widely used grades of copper thanks to its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity. Containing a small amount of oxygen (typically 0.02–0.05%), ETP copper is produced by electrolytic refining, which ensures high purity, excellent strength, and good ductility.
This material is the industry standard for electrical and electronic applications, including wiring, bus bars, windings, and conductive components where efficient power transfer is critical. ETP copper also offers good corrosion resistance and machinability, making it suitable for structural and industrial parts.
At GD Prototyping, we provide ETP copper for both prototyping and production, ensuring that our clients receive precision-machined, high-conductivity components for demanding applications in power generation, telecommunications, automotive, and electronics.
