MetalReactivity

Copper Turnings Extra Pure are thin, spiral-shaped shavings of elemental copper, produced from high-purity metal and widely used in laboratory applications requiring clean, reactive metal surfaces. Their large surface area makes them ideal for redox reactions, hydrogen generation experiments, and the preparation of copper salts through acid reactions. In educational and research settings, they are preferred for demonstrations involving displacement reactions and metal activity series studies. The extra pure grade guarantees minimal contamination, ensuring accurate and reproducible results. To prevent oxidation and maintain reactivity, copper turnings should be stored in dry, airtight containers.
