Brass scrap
Yellow brass, red brass and mixed brass castings.
Trade overview
Specified for real-world processing
Bergent seeks to source ISRI Honey (yellow brass solids), mixed brass castings, and red brass from radiator cores and automotive components, working with European recyclers and industrial processors. Shipments supply brass foundries, rod mills, and metal processors throughout Pakistan, discharging at Karachi KPT or Port Qasim.

- Pakistan (Karachi KPT / Port Qasim)
- Typical shipment format
- 20 ft container or vessel parcel
- Sourcing markets targeted
- Europe, UK, US, Middle East
Material in view
Colour, attachment and alloy family need to read clearly
Brass lots can contain fittings, valves, rod, pipe and cast components. Material photography should reveal the actual mix rather than present a polished sample alone.
Illustrative yard view
A representative lot is more useful than a perfect handful
Surface colour, attached material and the balance of solids and castings become clearer when the full lot is shown.
Assessment context
Visual sorting can be supported by analysis
Independent alloy analysis may be arranged when a buyer requires confirmation beyond description and visual segregation.
Trade specification
Grades we trade
| Grade / ISRI code | Specification |
|---|---|
| Honey (ISRI Yellow Brass) | Clean yellow brass solids and rod, nominally 60% Cu/40% Zn, ferrous and lead each under 0.5%. |
| Ebony (ISRI Composition / Red Brass) | Red brass scrap — valves, machinery bearings and other machinery parts, including miscellaneous castings made of copper. |
| Ivory (ISRI Yellow Brass Castings) | Yellow brass castings — plumbing and industrial cast components. |
| Red Brass Solids | Radiator cores and boiler tubes, minimal attached steel or solder, copper content typically high. |

Applications
Illustrative end use
Brass ingot and rod production for plumbing fittings and valves
Illustrative end use
Ammunition cartridge case manufacture (supply strictly for commercial ammunition, not military applications)
Illustrative end use
Bearing and bushing alloy casting
Material preparation
Separation protects the commercial value of the lot
Keeping brass families distinct from copper-bearing and ferrous attachments supports a clearer specification at destination.
