Copper Nickel Plate & Copper Nickel Sheet
Farmer’s Copper Ltd. maintains a broad inventory of Copper Nickel alloys C70600 and C71500. Copper-nickel is known for its great resistance to seawater, as well as many other hazardous elements presented to metals. C706 and C715 are commonly used in seawater environments because of total resistance to barnacle growth, which is created by a thin tenacious protective film formation.
Farmer’s Copper Ltd. is a family-owned business that has been serving the metal industry since 1920. Throughout the years, our priorities have been based on strong business relationships and meeting the wants and needs set by our customers.
