Copper Cathodes

High-Purity | LME Registered & Non-LME Registered

Overview

Copper cathodes are used as starting material for copper rods, wires, cables, tubes, and alloys (brass, bronze, etc.). Applications include electrical, construction, defense, and consumer goods industries.

Ametheus supplies both LME Registered Grade A and High-Purity Non-LME Registered copper cathodes meeting international quality standards.
