Kyshtym Copper Refinery is the leading manufacturer of electrolytic
copper foil in Russia. Due to modernization of the existing equipment
and introduction of new machines together with technical development
and steady improvement of quality control methods, our copper foil has
the same properties as that made by leading foil-manufacturing companies
in the world.
Using its own process (the first in Russia) the plant produces an electrolytic
copper strip (soft and semi-hard state) for making car radiator plates
and tubes. To make the strip by electrolysis we can produce thinner
products compared to traditional rolling technology (0.025-0.050 mm).
In addition to the copper foil and strip, an 8-mm diameter copper wire
rod coiled is produced in the production division. It is made through
the use of the so called UPCAST PROCESS (the US36K-10 continuos casting
plant, capacity of 10000 tons per year, Outokumpu Castform, Finland).
