The document compares the properties of three copper products: copper strip, copper bonded strip, and GI strip. Copper strip has the highest conductivity and current carrying capacity but also the highest corrosion rate, cost, and possibility of theft. Copper bonded strip and GI strip have lower conductivity and current capacity than copper strip but also lower corrosion rates, costs, and risks of theft.
