Aluminium Taint/Tabor
ISRI Taint (painted) / Tabor (unpainted). Mixed low-copper aluminium
Low-copper scrap is the preferred feedstock for ingot recyclers who need to meet LME P1020 copper limits (<0.10% Cu). Metal-content hedging on Taint/Tabor stays tight to actual Al exposure and protects the casting margin.
