Overview Of Lead:

• One of the oldest known metal, since 4000 B.C.
• Keeps the World on Move and vital component of battery, presently used in 60 million vehicles produced world wide.
• Protects from radiations due to its high density.
• Extensively used for green energy like Solar Cells, Wind turbine.
• 5th most widely used metal after Iron/ Steel, Aluminium, copper & Zinc.
• Global demand is over 9 million tones.
• Highest recycling rate amongst all metals.

Properties:

Lead is a bluish-white metal of bright luster. It is very soft, highly malleable, ductile, and a poor conductor of electricity. It is very resistant to corrosion; lead pipes bearing the insignia of Roman emperors, used as drains from the baths, are still in service. It is used in containers for corrosive liquids (such as sulfuric acid) and may be toughened by the addition of a small percentage of antimony or other metals.
