Copperweld spearheaded testing of corrosion on CCS products. Testing monitored by Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas, over a five-year period studied the effects of corrosion at various intervals of time on a multitude of samples, including impacted (dented), cut, scraped, standard bare and coated wire. The samples were buried in a variety of soil conditions, removed and tested. If left undisturbed, the corrosion resistance of CCS wire is equal to standard copper wire.
Keep in mind that the same impact required to notch Copperhead CCS tracer wire will completely sever solid copper wire of the same size. Therefore, while maintaining the same outstanding corrosion resistance as solid copper, CCS is stronger than solid copper.

CCS wire has been sold globally in applications such as pole ground, ground rods, substation grounding, and messenger cable and is continually tested in every environment imaginable with positive results. Bare CCS wire installed over 80 years ago by electric utilities is still in service today.
