Stripped Copper Wire

Bright Copper Wire

Copper wire that has recently been stripped of all insulation and has not begun to oxidize and lose its shine.

Green Copper Wire

Copper wire that has been stripped of all insulation and has begun to oxidize. The wire may range in colour from brown/orange to green/black.

Lacquered/Enamel Copper Wire

Copper wire coated in a clear lacquer (varnish).

Commonly used in electric motor windings and transistors.

Burnt Copper Wire

Copper wire, that has been burnt as a method of removing the insulation.

Often similar in appearance to green wire, this product is treated separately as it contains residues from the plastic insulation that can affect smelting processes.

The product still fetches a price comparative with other copper products.

• Housing wire
• Speaker wire
• Household extension cords
• Even the cord off the kettle

PVC coated or insulated copper cable is considered "High Grade", where the diameter of the copper cable being insulated, exceeds 4mm.
