Ductile

Easy to work, join and install. It is easily joined metallurgically by welding, soldering or brazing

Tensile strength

Since copper is rigid as well as readily formable, it adds to total system integrity even when subjected to adverse conditions.

Does not react with water

Copper does not react with water, but it slowly reacts with atmospheric oxygen forming a layer of brown-black copper oxide. In contrast to the oxidation of iron by wet air, this oxide layer stops any further, bulk corrosion.

Long Lasting and Maintenance Free

Its long-lasting and maintenance-free characteristics make copper the leading choice for many mechanical and industrial systems. It never requires painting for protection from corrosion. In addition, a thin film forms, providing natural protection from corrosion.
