Product

The two primary copper designations are C102 Oxygen-Free Copper - high purity copper with 101% IACS conductivity, ideal for high performance electrical and thermal applications; and C110 ETP Copper - Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper.

NFM’s products include bus tubes, bus bars, profiles, copper rods that are used in various applications such as power distribution, Earthing products, electro rail, electrical contact applications and anodes for electrowinning in copper mining applications.

NFM’s major focus on electrowinning hanger bar anodes ensures that the ultimate tensile strength requirements are achieved to ensure that the anodes are secure during the electrowinning process. Mould design is carefully reviewed in line with the hanger bar shape to ensure that the mould can completely seal when the lead is cast over the copper hanger bar. 

Its production team have many years of non-ferrous casting and extrusion experience and would be happy to discuss its customer’s unique requirements, as well as define its capabilities in order to meet and exceed customer expectations.
