Price of brass for buying out

Nord Holding is a specialized company for buying out, transportation and trade of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including brass and brass alloys

Brass is one of the most common types of non-ferrous metals, which are widely used in production of various machines and equipment, clocks, musical instruments and decorative elements.

Due to its properties and its high melting point, it is a valuable metal that can be fully recycled until raw materials suitable for use in subsequent production are obtained.

Brass as a secondary raw material is used in production of water faucets, household fittings, rod blanks, fittings, pipes for construction industry and heat exchangers.

Nord Holding offers you best price conditions for buying brass and other non-ferrous metals.

What types of brass does Nord Holding buy out?

Our company buys out most common types of non-ferrous metal waste from brass and its alloys as follows:

  • Brass

including brass radiators of machinery and other motor vehicles not mixed with iron or non-metals, also sheet brass, strips and wires, clean brass bars, hexes, pipes, plates and padlocks, domestic brass.

  • Brass (nickel-plated)

nickel-plated taps and all other parts that contain brass and nickel;

  • Brass turnings

clean, contaminated with steel, aluminum or other metallic and non-metallic attachments. Depending on the presence of moisture in their composition and/or their greasing, the price received for brass for secondary raw materials is negotiated between its supplier and Nord Holding.

Brass waste includes sheet brass, strip, rod, pipe, turnings, brass and copper car radiators etc. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, with a yellowish color and good corrosion resistance, which makes it suitable for various applications in industry and construction.

Sheet brass and strips are often used in construction for roofs, facades and other decorative elements. Rods and tubes are used in machine building and plumbing. Brass turnings are a by-product of the machining of brass products. Brass and copper automobile radiators are used in the automotive industry to cool engines. These are also the most common sources of this type of waste.

We buy scrap brass of various shapes and sizes, preferably clean and free of plastics, non-metals and other metals. Contamination up to 0.1%. To be free of sand, moisture and excessive oiling. We also buy out mixed brass and copper automobile radiators, free of iron.
