Copper has the chemical symbol in the Periodic Table – Cu – and is one of the oldest metals known to man, as confirmed by archaeological research. Probably as early as 4,000 BC, small everyday objects and ornaments were made from copper on the Sinai Peninsula, in the Mediterranean countries and in eastern Mesopotamia. Copper pipes were used in Egypt to transport drinking water.

Along with silver and gold, copper is included in the copper group. It is a semi-precious metal with malleable properties. It is soft, malleable and has a characteristic reddish color. It has tensile strength, conducts electricity and heat, and melts at very high temperatures, over 1,000 degrees Celsius. Copper ores are processed using pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods, for suitable raw materials for copper products.

The price of copper is higher than that of steel, but it finds widespread use in the manufacture of electrical, telecommunications, water, heating, central heating, or in the form of roofing and building hardware, among others. Copper is often used in the manufacture of electrical circuits and parts or apparatus for the chemical and food industries.

E-Invest offers its customers various copper products, including copper wires, copper pipes, copper rods and others.
