Lead Chemicals

Refined Lead with a residual copper content of 0.04 to 0.08% and a residual silver content of 0.002 to 0.02% is particularly desirable in the chemical industries and thus is called chemical Lead. Lead is available in chemical in different forms. Which are used for different industrial use and other purpose. The following table is show the list of various Lead chemical with their formula.

Lead monoxide (PbO) also known as "litharge," is a yellow solid that is used to make some types of glass, such as Lead crystal and flint glass, in the vulcanizing of rubber and as a paint pigment.

Lead dioxide (PbO2) is a brown material that is used in Lead-acid storage batteries.

TriLead tetraoxide (Pb3O4) also known as "red Lead," is used to make a reddish-brown paint that prevents rust on outdoor steel structures.

Lead arsenate [Pb3(AsO4)2] has been used as an insecticide although other, less harmful, substances have now largely replaced it.

Lead carbonate (PbCo3) also known as "cerussite" is a white, poisonous substance that was once widely used as a pigment for white paint. Use of Lead carbonate in paints has largely been stopped in favor of titanium oxide (TiO2).

Lead chromate (PbCro4) also known as "crocoite" is used to produce chrome yellow paint.

Lead nitrate [Pb(No3)2] is used to make fireworks and other pyrotechnics.

Lead silicate (PbSiO3) is used to make some types of glass and in the production of rubber and paints.
