Featuring: 99.99% Lead in a variety of forms, Pb-Base Babbitt and casting alloys for jewelry and ornamental products, 6% Antimonial Lead, Linotype Alloys, and Pb-Base Solders

Lead has been commonly used for thousands of years because it is widespread, easy to extract and easy to work with since it is highly malleable as well as easy to smelt. The largest preindustrial producer of lead was the Roman economy, with an estimated annual output of 80,000 tonnes used for many applications including the water system. In modern times, Lead is used in building construction, lead-acid batteries, bullet and shot, weights, as part of solders, pewters, fusible alloys, and as a radiation shield.

    6% Antimonial Lead
    6% Antimonial Lead
    Lead - Antimony alloys have high corrosion resistance in most enviroments. They form a protective, impermeable film even faster than pure lead and in some cases even faster than chemical lead. It is found that except in the presence of florine compunds, 6% antimonial lead is more resistant to corrosion than is soft lead. 6% Antimony, 92% Lead this is by far the most popular with target shooters. Good castability. Somewhat brittle. Moderate cost.
