Copper is the most important material used in the manufacture of wires and cables. According to the research of domestic and foreign experts on the trend of the market of electric wire and cable industry, in the next 100 years, besides aluminum, copper is still the most irreplaceable conductive solution.
Copper is an important raw material in electric cable production.
Role and technical characteristics of copper in the production of electric cables
Copper has been used by humans since the very early time, about 8000 BC. Copper resources in nature are also quite abundant, suitable for widely used, and exploited.
Compared to other materials, copper has a high conductivity index, only second after silver. Outstanding technical properties of copper lie in its great mechanical strength, resistance to atmospheric corrosion, good elasticity, and high heat resistance. These are very important characteristics to make electrical cables.

Copper materials in the production of Tran Phu Electric Mechanical
Despite being common, not all copper is suitable for producing electrical cables or meeting the input standards of quality wires. Oxygen is very harmful to copper which reduces physical properties, especially electrical conductivity. Therefore, the production of electric cables is often used electrolytic copper, especially redox copper with high conductivity.
Copper purity also affects conductivity; The higher the purity, the more dense the copper molecules are, the greater the ability to conduct electricity on the copper surface is. Moreover, higher purity also shows that copper does not get mixed with other impurities which reduces the ability to transmit electricity or increases the resistance of surge compared to the standard. To ensure the highest quality of input materials with purity up to 99.99% and the ability to produce products with the best transmission quality, Tran Phu only uses raw materials imported from major suppliers in the world such as Japan, Australia, etc.
Input materials are always carefully selected and censored before being put into production, combined with other materials such as non-toxic PVC coated plastic, stone powder, and so on, together with modern machinery that is 100% of European imported. These have helped create products of excellent quality to confidently meet the most rigorous technical standards.
Tran Phu uses LME copper as input materials (Cu ≥ 99.99%)
In the coming time, Tran Phu electric wire and cable factory in VSIP Hai Duong will be put into operation which is promised to help improve productivity to meet the needs of the market for high-quality wire and cable products. Tran Phu Electric Engineering is continuing to thrive on the production of wires and cables for power transmission and distribution. In particular, Tran Phu also has a clear orientation to focus on using copper materials for future production on a larger scale.
Besides, in the context of the present market, there are many brands producing low-quality wires, imitations of packaging labels, product forms of famous and well-established brands for their own profits through price competition. Despite that, we - Tran Phu Electric Mechanical Joint Stock Company with the brand of TRAN PHU WIRE AND CABLE still insist on the way to create the best products to serve consumers. With the exploration and application of raw materials at a new level, new technology will continue to be promoted to deserve the full trust of customers.
