The main advantages of copper cathodes in industry. Why Copper Cathodes Matter :

  • High Conductivity : Best-in-class electrical performance

  • Corrosion Resistance : Ideal for long-term infrastructure

  • Recyclability : 100% recyclable with no loss in quality

  • Versatility : Compatible with casting, rolling, extrusion, etc.

⚡ Superior Electrical Conductivity

High-purity copper (≥ 99.99%) ensures maximum conductivity, making it essential for applications such as electrical wiring, motors, transformers, and EV batteries. Even small impurities can significantly increase electrical resistance, causing energy losses and overheating.

🔩 Improved Mechanical Performance

Impurities weaken the copper’s structure. Pure cathodes provide better ductility and strength, allowing easier drawing, rolling, and forming during manufacturing processes — critical for cable producers, sheet metal processors, and industrial parts suppliers.

🧪 Consistency & Compliance

With LME Grade A certified cathodes (≥ 99.99%), you meet the standards required by international buyers, regulators, and manufacturers. Consistency in purity ensures reliable downstream processes, better welding, and fewer product defects.

🛡 Enhanced Corrosion Resistance

Purity also means better long-term durability. Low levels of contaminants reduce the risk of corrosion, oxidation, and structural failure — a must-have for plumbing, roofing, and power transmission infrastructure.

 Responsible Mining, Ethical Commitment

At Hydolys Group, we believe that economic performance must go hand-in-hand with social and environmental responsibility. That’s why all our copper cathodes are sourced from verified mining operations in Africa that strictly adhere to :
