Powders and flakes of copper

CPC v2.1 Code: 41511

About powders and flakes of copper

cpc code 41511 covers the production and trade of powders and flakes of copper, a vital raw material used in a wide range of industries. Copper is an essential metal with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, making it indispensable for applications such as electrical wiring, electronics, and heat exchange equipment. The copper powder and flakes industry plays a crucial role in supporting the global manufacturing and infrastructure sectors.

Production process

Copper powders and flakes are typically produced through mechanical or chemical processes. Mechanical methods involve grinding or atomizing molten copper to create fine particles, while chemical techniques may use precipitation or electrolysis to extract and refine the copper. The resulting powders and flakes are then sieved and graded according to particle size and purity to meet the specific requirements of various end-users.

Production inputs

The production of copper powders and flakes requires several key inputs, including high-purity copper metal, specialized grinding or atomizing equipment, and energy sources for melting and processing. Additionally, the industry relies on a robust supply chain of raw materials, such as 24100 Iron ores and concentrates and 24200 Manganese ores and concentrates, which are used in the smelting and refining of copper.

Production outputs

Copper powders and flakes produced under cpc code 41511 are used in a diverse range of applications, including the manufacture of 41512 Copper powders and flakes for use in electronics, paints, plastics, and other materials, 41520 Copper bars, rods and profiles, and 41530 Copper wire. These copper-based products are then consumed by industries such as electronics, construction, and automotive, making the copper powder and flakes industry a crucial component of the global supply chain.
