# Products – Lead

Classes of lead products in the common family layout – plate, sheet and strip; unwrought metal (feedstock); unwrought alloys (feedstock); powders and dust; anodes and other articles; derived products – within a family by material (unalloyed lead, lead alloys), with plants according to primary documents and EU-27 trade with non-EU countries. Refined lead and unwrought alloys are feedstock (the main products of primary and secondary smelters), while lead oxides and lead-acid batteries are derived products, outside the lead products trade total.
