FAQ copper wool
Copper is of a fairly soft metal type. This makes copper wool excellent for polishing delicate surfaces such as chrome. Because of the way copper wool is woven, it gets stuck between the teeth of rodents, making it difficult to move or chew. It is therefore, in addition to stainless steel wool, very suitable for keeping mice and rats away.
No, it will not rust. However, it does corrode! Copper wool can form a green film, or patina, on its surface over time. As the fibres are very thin, corroded copper wool will no longer be suitable for the application it is used for. Therefore, store it in a dry place.
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).
Copper wool has a cleansing effect in your distillate. It binds more hydrogen sulphide, which results in a milder aroma.
- Approx. 50 grams are sufficient and generous as a filling for the high alcohol 0.5 litre distilleries.
