Why choose lead for ballasting ?

Lead is the material of choice for industrial ballasting thanks to its exceptional physical properties

  • High density (11.3 g/cm³) : it provides significant mass in a small volume, which is essential in confined environments.
  • Stability and durability : lead retains its mechanical characteristics over time, even when subjected to extreme conditions.
  • Malleability : it can be easily adapted to complex shapes and custom integrations.
  • Corrosion resistance : its longevity guarantees a long-term investment.

  • French production at our Carquefou and Loroux Bottereau sites.
