For Rod Mills, Cable & Wire Producers

Feedstock a rod mill can actually plan around

Continuous-cast rod mills and cable manufacturers need consistent cathode quality and a supply line that scales past a single cargo. That's the buyer this desk is built for.

Why Quality Consistency Matters Here

Cathode quality flows straight into rod quality

A continuous-cast rod mill or cable line is sensitive to cathode consistency in a way a general trading buyer isn't — impurity variance shows up downstream as conductivity and drawability issues. That's why the specification here is fixed and independently verified at defined stages: warehouse verification at origin after SPA, then SGS inspection at load port, with destination re-inspection where provided in the SPA.

Specification

99.97% min. Cu

ASTM B115 Grade 1 / GB/T 467-2010 Cu-CATH-1 — the standard reference grade for continuous casting and wire drawing.

Verification

Staged independent verification

Kinshasa warehouse verification after SPA, then SGS at load port, with destination re-inspection where provided in the SPA.
