For centuries, mankind has relied on the use of lead because of its unique and versatile properties.

Since ancient times, its malleability, its resistance to corrosion and its ability to form alloys with other metals has been appreciated. .

It is a metal with unique properties and multiple uses, from the automotive sector (for battery production) to the medical world as a radiation insulator. In addition, lead is recyclable and can be effectively reused, thus offering a sustainable solution to mitigate its harmful impact, which has led to the need for a more responsible approach to its extraction and use.

PRODUCTS

Spent lead acid batteries

Approximately 90% of the world's lead is used for the production of batteries for the automotive, industrial and similar sectors, being the most recycled material in the world with a recycling rate of over 99%.

PRODUCTS

Lead Scrap

Although it is less and less used, especially in housing, it is still common to see this type of material from demolitions or extractions.

PRODUCTS

Cobre

There are over 400 copper alloys, each with its own unique properties. The strength and conductivity of copper makes it perfect for electrical and construction applications.

Some of the specifications we work with are:

Milberry

No.1 copper wire.

Birch

No.2. copper wire

Candy

Heavy copper No.1.

Candy Cliff

Heavy copper No.2.

Rejected Cathodes

Rejected Cathodes

Copper plates

Used copper plates

PRODUCTS

Tin

Especially suitable for high-strength alloys, it is mainly used in the electrical applications sector, supporting all types of hardware. Tin is valuable, scarce and sometimes difficult to identify. It can be found in utensils such as antique kitchenware, solder pastes and other everyday items of our lives..

PRODUCTS

Antimony

Due to its excessive brittleness and the difficulty of moulding it, antimony (Sb) has no direct applications, but it is widely used as an alloying element to improve the hardness and strength of other metals. Thus, antimony is present in lead-acid batteries to harden the lead from which the electrodes (grids) are made.

PRODUCTOS

Other lead derivatives

We negotiate other lead derivatives, also necessary to complete the production process of the smelters. Some of these materials are necessary to complete the final customer's requirements, such as:

  • Lead bullion.
  • Lead plates.
  • Lead oxides.
  • Lead metallics.

PRODUCTS

Waste collection/scrap

The lead recycling process is an outstanding example of how materials can be reused efficiently, contributing to sustainability and reducing environmental impact*.

Importantly, recycled lead has the same properties and quality as lead obtained from ore. This means that recycled lead can be used as a sustainable alternative to primary lead, thus reducing the need to extract and process more lead from nature.

 

*Environmentally friendly

Lead collectio

Separation and sorting

Smelting and Refining

Formation of ingots or final products

Re-use in manufacturing

This practice not only contributes to the preservation of natural resources, but also significantly decreases the environmental footprint associated with lead mining and production. By utilising recycled lead rather than relying exclusively on mined lead, MAGNA METALS promotes a more responsible and environmentally friendly approach to the life cycle of lead.
