In the hierarchy of non-ferrous metals, brass and bronze take pride of place, just after copper. In Saint-Laurent-du-Var, these metals are omnipresent, whether in the luxury fittings of seaside residences, in the mechanical components of industries in the Industrial Zone, or in marine fittings. At Eco-Relais Sclavo, located at 30 rue Claude Bernard, we offer state-of-the-art expertise in brass and bronze buy-back, guaranteeing professionals and private individuals in the 06700 area optimum value based on actual metal prices.
Understanding the difference: Brass vs Bronze
Although similar in appearance (golden or pinkish hue), these two alloys have distinct chemical compositions and redemption values:
- Brass: An alloy of copper and zinc. It is malleable, easy to machine and highly resistant to corrosion. It’s found everywhere: door handles, plumbing fittings, ammunition casings and musical instruments.
- Bronze: An alloy of copper and tin. Harder and more resistant than brass, it has historically been used for statues, bells and, above all, marine mechanical parts (propellers, valves), as it resists seawater admirably. At our Saint-Laurent center, we use analytical tools to distinguish between these two metals and offer you the fairest price according to copper content.
