How Copper Works

Why Copper?

Copper has been used by people for thousands of years and remains an important material in modern life. At Copper Clothing, we use copper as part of our product design to create comfortable, practical clothing and accessories with a distinctive copper-infused construction.

For centuries, copper has been recognised for its natural antimicrobial properties, with historical accounts describing the use of copper and copper vessels to help keep water clean and reduce contamination. Long before modern water-treatment methods were developed, people in different cultures used copper containers, coins and other copper objects in or around stored water. The practice was based on the observation that water stored in copper vessels appeared to remain fresher for longer.

Today, scientific research has provided greater understanding of copper's antimicrobial activity, demonstrating that copper surfaces can inhibit or destroy a wide range of microorganisms under appropriate conditions. This long history of using copper in connection with water provides an interesting example of how traditional practices can sometimes anticipate principles that are later explored and explained through modern science.

What Makes Copper Clothing Different?

Our products combine carefully selected textiles with copper as part of the material construction. The copper is incorporated into the fabric or fibres during manufacturing, creating a distinctive material designed for everyday use.

From clothing and socks to gloves, towels and other textile products, our range is designed with comfort, practicality and everyday wear in mind.

Why Do We Use Copper?

Copper is a naturally occurring element and an essential trace mineral for humans. It is also widely used in areas such as construction, electrical products, manufacturing and textiles,as well as medical and sterility products

We use copper as part of our textile technology because of its unique material characteristics and its long history of use across different industries.

Copper-Infused Materials

Copper can be incorporated into textile fibres during the manufacturing process. This allows the copper to become part of the material rather than simply being applied to the surface.

The result is a distinctive textile construction that forms the basis of selected Copper Clothing products.

Designed for Everyday Comfort

Our focus is simple: create products that are comfortable, practical and made for everyday life.

Depending on the product, our copper-infused range includes clothing, socks, gloves, towels, bedding and other textile products.

Each product is designed with its intended use in mind, combining the properties of the chosen textile with our copper-infused material technology.
