Pewter metals have a rich heritage. Craftsmen first used pewter for cauldrons and religious pieces in the 11th century. Pewter now creates beautiful jewellery and attractive statues. Modern manufacturers rely on pewter’s durability for high-end decorative items.

Pewter properties 

Today, pewter metals usually contain no lead. Instead, manufacturers use tin, antimony, and copper. Some alloys include silver or bismuth for extra brilliance. Previously, manufacturers added lead. However, health experts highlighted its risks. Now, most quality pewter alloys are lead-free.

Why Pewter Remains Popular

DKL Metals supports every stage of pewter casting. We also offer dross bins to safely transport scrap metal and solder drosses.
