The global demand for Tellurium Copper (C14500) is surging at a CAGR of 5.8%. Driven by EV infrastructure and high-speed machining, Tellurium Copper is replacing standard copper in precision electronics due to its 85% machinability rating combined with over 90% IACS conductivity.
As Nigeria expands its oil & gas infrastructure and moves toward decentralized power grids, the need for corrosion-resistant, high-conductivity materials has never been higher. From gas cutting nozzles in Port Harcourt to electrical switchgears in Lagos, Tellurium Copper is the backbone of efficiency.
Unlike standard pure copper, our Oxygen-Free Tellurium Copper (OFT) prevents hydrogen embrittlement. This is critical for Nigerian industries operating in high-humidity and high-temperature tropical environments where material longevity is paramount.
Established in May 2017, Sichuan Kepai New Materials Co., Ltd. is a high-tech private company specializing in R&D, production and sales of high conductivity and high strength free cutting tellurium copper and other special copper alloys. We bridge the gap between Chinese manufacturing efficiency and African industrial demand.
Our Tellurium Copper C14500 is engineered for high-speed CNC machining. Nigerian manufacturers can reduce production time by 40% compared to using standard electrolytic copper, significantly lowering labor costs.
We hold independent intellectual property for Oxygen-free and highly conductive tellurium copper alloy. This allows us to offer materials that perform under extreme electrical loads without thermal failure.
With a 29,000 m² floor space, we maintain high stock levels, ensuring Nigerian suppliers receive consistent shipments despite global logistics fluctuations.
As Nigeria adopts solar storage and EV charging stations in urban centers, our high-conductivity TeCu ensures minimal energy loss in high-current connectors.
Medical equipment in Nigeria's leading hospitals requires antimicrobial copper alloys for components. Our alloys provide both performance and safety.
Tellurium copper is the material of choice for generator parts and aviation data transmission—critical for Nigeria's backup power and transport sectors.
Global procurement teams are shifting toward Sustainable Metallurgy. Kepai is at the forefront, producing lead-free and environmentally friendly alloys (Sulfur Copper, Tellurium Copper) that comply with international ROHS and REACH standards. For Nigeria, this means future-proofing against stricter import regulations and environmental mandates.
A: Tellurium copper offers significantly higher electrical and thermal conductivity (90% IACS vs 28% for Brass). This prevents overheating in gas cutting nozzles and electrical terminals, common issues in high-ambient-temperature regions like Nigeria.
A: Oxygen-free TeCu eliminates the risk of hydrogen embrittlement during welding or brazing. This ensures that industrial components fabricated in Nigeria are structurally sound and do not crack under pressure.
A: We use specialized anti-oxidation packaging and robust crating to ensure that your copper alloy arrives in Nigeria without any surface tarnishing or mechanical damage, maintaining its premium finish.
