Description

Brass dross is a granular by‑product generated during the melting and casting of brass alloys, consisting of oxidized metal particles, slag, and residual copper‑zinc mix that is collected and screened for purity.

Export Considerations

When shipping, the dross must be sealed in moisture‑proof, double‑lined containers and accompanied by a material safety data sheet, as the fine particles can pose handling hazards and require careful labeling for customs clearance.
