Continuous Cast Copper Rods
SIIL continuous cast Copper rods are produced using the Propezi technology. The rods are coiled in an orbital laying form to prevent entanglement while being uncoiled by the customers. Each coil is compacted, strapped and wrapped with polyethylene wraps as well as stretch-wrapped to prevent exposure to dust and ensure a good arrival condition at the receiving end by the customers.

Applications
  • Jelly Filled Telephone Cables
  • Magnetic wires & Winding wires
  • Power Cables
  • Automobile Wire Harness
  • Communication Cables
  • House wiring
  • Conductors (Rounds and Flats)
  • Transformer
