    News & events Being very soft and pliable and highly resistant to corrosion, Lead was ideal for use in
    Aluminium plumbing as well as for the manufacture of pewter. In the early 20th century the
    Aluminium Alloy automotive industry took off and new areas of consumption – batteries and petrol –
    NASAAC created an enormous market. Storage batteries remain the main outlet but lead-free fuels
    Copper have caused a decline in usage. Ironically, environmental issues have brought about new
    Lead uses for the metal, particularly in the housing of power generation units to protect
    Price graphs against electrical charges or dangerous radiations.
