General description

Copper powder, 99.999% trace metals basis, is a fine powder that is typically red-brown in color. It is often produced through the reduction of copper oxide or other copper compounds using hydrogen or other reducing agents. Our powder is highly pure, with less than 15 ppm impurities such as lead, arsenic, and bismuth, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Copper is valued for its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, high ductility, and resistance to corrosion.

Application

High-purity copper powder is used in a variety of applications, such as in the production of electrical components and conductive coatings and as a catalyst in chemical reactions. Additionally, copper powder can be used in the production of various alloys and as a raw material for powder metallurgy.

Features and Benefits

Our 99.999% pure copper powder is useful in the electronics and chemical industries where purity matters most.
✔ Consistent quality
✔ Ultra high purity
✔ Available to scale up: bulk and pilot scale

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
