Copper Facts

  • The English word “copper” comes from the Latin word “cuprum,” which means “from the island of Cyprus.” Cyprus is located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, just off the coast of modern-day Turkey. It’s also only a little over an hour by plane from Cyprus to Cairo, Egypt, and its close proximity to the Nile Delta explains why copper has been found in Egyptian history and hieroglyphs.
  • There are over 400 copper alloys in use today. An “alloy” is a substance composed of two or more metals, and can contain non-metal components. Brass is an alloy that is created by combining copper and zinc. At Integrity, we use only the finest copper materials, and never cut corners when it comes to quality.
  • Copper can be found in many foods, including chocolate, broccoli, and seafood. It’s an important part of the human diet, and has been for centuries.
