Additional information on a voluntary basis:
Solid lead metal, e.g. as a component of a metallic alloy, is considered toxic to reproduction if the concentration limit of 0.3% by weight is exceeded.
We would like to inform you that the use of lead in semi-finished metal products has been regulated for many years. The obligation to provide information under REACH is not based on new scientific findings about the metal. It is based solely on the fact that lead has been included in the REACH candidate list by the European Chemicals Agency. One of the aims of this inclusion is to obtain information about the quantities of these substances used within the EU.
Lead acts as a chip breaker and lubricant in aluminium and copper alloys, improves the machinability of copper alloys and also gives the finished component additional properties, such as corrosion resistance or better sliding and emergency running properties. Alternatives to the use of copper alloys with a mass fraction of up to 4% lead cannot currently be considered scientifically or technically feasible. Furthermore, it is not yet technically possible to remove lead that has been unintentionally introduced into the recycling stream.
