Copper Nickel 9010, often called Cunifer, is a distinctive alloy composed primarily of copper with a crucial 10% nickel addition, along with small amounts of iron and manganese. This specific blend gives these pipes a set of impressive mechanical properties. They are known for their excellent tensile strength and outstanding ductility, making them easy to fabricate while being remarkably tough. A key characteristic is their superb resistance to corrosion and erosion, especially in saline or marine settings, where they form a strong, protective surface layer over time.

Copper Nickel 90/10 Pipes find their primary use in marine and offshore applications, thanks to their outstanding resistance to seawater corrosion and biological fouling. They are commonly utilized in seawater cooling systems, ballast water lines, firefighting pipelines, and bilge and sanitary systems on ships and offshore platforms. In desalination plants, these pipes are essential for brine heaters, evaporator tubing, and condensers. The alloy’s durability and ease of welding also make it a great choice for heat exchangers, power plants, and chemical processing units.
