Additional, voluntary information:

The use of lead in Nonferrous Semis is already regulated for many years. The information
duties according to REACH are not based on new scientific findings.

For many Copper Alloys there is no practical solution yet to substitute lead.
Lead is needed for the machinability of the Semis and to improve other properties, especially
sliding and dry-running properties.
