    Lightbulb Stripping insulated silver wire

    I got 60kgs of insulated silver wire at 75% silver (99.99%)... any pointers on how much it'd cost to get rid of the PVC?



    Thanks

    What testing have you done on this wire. Silver wire is out there but most is just silver plated wire. Silver wire is not commonly used in industrial applications. It is used for high reliability and low (electronic)noise equipment.

    Not saying you don't have it just saying it's not common.

    What do you mean by this. 75% silver (99.99%)

    Does 75% @ 4-9s mean you have 45Kg of silver wire after stripping.
    I buy Tantalum Capacitors and offer other services. Check out my thread for more info.

    In 1kg of insulated high performance silver wire = 750gr of silver at 99.99%

    For every 1kg of wire = 250gr of PVC

    ummm I would throw it in my recycling (it IS plastic). Not sure I would be paying anything to get rid of it once I stripped the wire. It's not really all that much once you get finished. Just sayin'

    So you will have 15kg of pvc to get rid of? I'd put it in a garbage bag or two and put it at the end of my driveway for pickup
