Copper Dust ?

[brainswan]

Guys/Gals,

Please could anybody out there enlighten me as to the following attributes of "Copper Dust" :

- What is it?
- Where is it used (industries? Processing?)
- Where is it traded (web based exchange?)
- Regulatory information
- Price Index's?

Kind Regards,
Stuart

Copper Dust, normal waste product from industrial machining of copper as part of manufacture.
Only use for copper dust i have found is mixed with light grease and used to continue anti-oxidation/ lubrication on automotive breaking and exhaust systems etc after the grease carrier has evaporated. (watch your exhaust fitters closly next time). AFAIK no other uses, and so your other Q's are N/A.

einstone,

Thanks for this - I have indeed seen this used and actually used it myself when fitting brakes. "Copper Ease" is one of the products this must feature in, but I did not realise that this was where the Copper Dust ended up.

Not really a high demand commodity then!

Cheers,
Stu
