Product description
Features
- Produced by turning, milling, drilling or otherwise machining brass parts.
- In the form of filings, chips or curled swarf.
- Mainly an alloy of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn).
- Free of iron, aluminium, stainless steel and other metals.
- Cutting oil, coolant and impurities should be kept to a minimum to preserve recycling value.
Origin
- CNC machine shops.
- Valve, faucet and brass fitting plants.
- Electrical and mechanical component plants.
- Shops machining brass parts.
Value
- Good recycling value thanks to its high copper content.
- The price depends on cleanliness, dryness and the amount of impurities.
