C23000 Red Brass 85%

C23000 red brass is an alloy that has 85% copper, giving it a rich red color. Because of the color and ease of shaping, architects often use it to improve the look of a building. In addition, it resists dezincification and has moderate strength.

Because C23000 resists corrosion well, you can use it near potable water. As a result, many different industries use it, including architecture, electrical, industrial, plumbing, and more. Some typical applications include:

Diversified Bronze has solid and cored red brass bars in 144" lengths. Other lengths and non-standard sizes are available.
