Copper Info Copper is an excellent electrical conductor. Most of its uses are based on this property or the fact that it is also a good thermal conductor. However, many of its applications also rely on one or more of its other properties. For example, it wouldn't make very good water and gas pipes if it were highly reactive. On this page, we look at these other properties:
a good electrical conductor
a good thermal conductor
corrosion resistant
antibacterial
easily joined
ductile
tough
non magnetic
attractive colour
easy to alloy
recyclable
