Lead

These lead alloys are known for the anti-corrosion, anti-abrasion and longevity. Most of the lead scrap is collected as lead cable stripping and flashing/roofing lead sheets from the buildings.

Application of recycled lead :

• Half hard and hard lead – friction parts, bearings, slides, nuts, sockets
• Leaded bronze – oilless bearings, chemical industries, ring immersed bearings, machine bearings, bolts, nuts, bush, circeplings, ballpoint pens
