Fabricated Products Inc. Product Line

Fabricated Products Inc. (FPI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Doe Run, creates finished products at its locations in Vancouver, Wash., and at Seafab Metals Company in Casa Grande, Ariz.

• FPI in Vancouver produces lead oxide used in lead-acid batteries and lead billets for ammunition. Three ball mils are used to tumble large chunks of lead, creating heat and friction that oxidizes the lead into smaller pieces. Customer orders dictate the size and density of the resulting lead oxide.
• Seafab Metals Company, a division of FPI, uses three techniques — rolling, extruding and casting — to create fully-customized materials from Doe Run’s primary and secondary lead. Products include:
  • Sheet lead in rolls and cuts for roofing and electrowinning
  • Shielding to protect healthcare professionals, patients and air travelers from radiation
  • Lead wire, pipe and anodes
  • Ultra-high integrity lead castings of up to 500,000 pounds for spent nuclear fuel transportation and storage.
