Information on the REACH Regulation - Lead in metal products
In accordance with the REACH regulation, we inform you that the listed products contain lead in concentration of more than 0.1 mass percent (w/w). We would like to point out that lead is an important substance for the steel and metal processing industry. This substance is often used as a component of alloys and has a positive effect on the material properties of a metal product, e.g. improved corrosion resistance or sliding properties.
Bürkle only uses lead to optimise a product if there is no suitable alternative material. However, our range also offers products made of other materials - ask us, our sales team will be happy to advise you by phone +49 (0)7635 82795-0 or info@buerkle.de.
