Questions about copper wool

Copper is of a reasonably soft metal type. This makes copper wool excellent for various applications.

Cleaning and polishing

It is non-abrasive and effective on delicate surfaces such as chrome and stainless steel. But also for cleaning pots, pans and other household objects without scratching.

Pest control

Copper wool is used to seal openings and cracks in buildings to prevent rodents and birds from entering, as it is difficult for them to chew through it and it does not rust or stain like normal steel wool.

Distillation

In alcohol distillation, it is used to bind hydrogen sulphide, resulting in a milder aroma and better rectification, similar to adding raschig rings.

Art

Copper wool can be used to create shading in metal or silverpoint drawings, along with other tools for metalpoint drawing.

Copper wool is available in the grades fine, medium and coarse. Copper wool fine has an average wire thickness of 60 microns (μm), medium of 90 microns (μm) and coarse of 120 microns (μm).
