“Cu” from the latin ‘cuprum’ is the symbol for the chemical element copper with the atomic number 29. Tin and bronze alloyed with copper were first used around 4000 years after the discovery of copper smelting. Copper is waterproof, durable, and corrosion resistant and often used for roofs, flashings, rain gutters, downspouts, domes, spires, vaults, and outdoor structural components. Alloys from copper as well as copper are antimicrobial and have been recycled for nearly as long as they have been used.
