Lead(II) carbonate
Lead(II) carbonate (CAS 598-63-0) is an inorganic lead salt with the formula PbCO3 and a molar mass of 267.21 g/mol. Supplied by Tech Serve Solutions as a high-purity white powder and chunks at an assay of ≥99.99% (trace metals basis), it is a water-insoluble carbonate used principally in research, materials and ceramic science, inorganic synthesis and as a precursor to other lead compounds. It is a hazardous, reproductively toxic and environmentally hazardous substance requiring controlled handling.

Inorganic synthesis and lead precursor
Serves as a starting material in inorganic and materials chemistry, where it is converted into other lead compounds such as lead oxides and lead salts. Its high trace-metals purity suits demanding preparative work.
Materials, ceramic and glass science
Used as a research-grade source of lead in ceramic, glass and solid-state studies. The ≥99.99% grade limits metallic contaminants that could affect material properties.
Catalysis and inorganic chemistry research
Applied as a reagent and reference material in catalysis and inorganic chemistry investigations. It functions as a defined, well-characterised source of lead carbonate for laboratory study.
Analytical and reference use
The trace-metals-basis assay makes it suitable as a high-purity reference material for analytical and standards work involving lead. Used where contaminant control is essential.

What is Lead(II) carbonate used for?
+
Lead(II) carbonate is used mainly in research and materials science as a high-purity inorganic lead source and as a precursor for synthesising other lead compounds such as lead oxides and salts. It also features in catalysis, inorganic chemistry, ceramic and glass studies. Because of its serious hazards it is intended for controlled industrial and laboratory use only.
What is the CAS number and molecular formula of Lead(II) carbonate?
+
The CAS number of Lead(II) carbonate is 598-63-0 and its molecular formula is PbCO3, with a molecular weight of 267.21 g/mol. Its EC number is 209-943-4 and the MDL number is MFCD00064631.
What grade and purity does Tech Serve Solutions supply?
+
Tech Serve Solutions supplies Lead(II) carbonate at an assay of ≥99.99% on a trace metals basis, in powder and chunk form. This is a high-purity technical/research grade; we do not represent it as USP, BP, EP or food grade. A certificate of analysis can be provided with each consignment.
What are the safety and handling hazards of Lead(II) carbonate?
+
Lead(II) carbonate carries the GHS signal word Danger (pictograms GHS07, GHS08, GHS09). Its hazard statements are H302 (harmful if swallowed), H332 (harmful if inhaled), H360 (may damage fertility or the unborn child), H373 (may cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure) and H410 (very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects). Avoid dust formation, use eye protection, gloves and an N95 (US) or P2 (EN 143) respirator, prevent release to the environment, and follow the SDS. WGK Germany is 3.
How is Lead(II) carbonate packed, shipped and exported?
+
It is packed in sealed, labelled containers appropriate to the order quantity and shipped with full documentation, including the SDS and certificate of analysis. For transport it is classified as UN 3077, Class 9, Packing Group III (environmentally hazardous substance). Tech Serve Solutions exports worldwide in compliance with applicable dangerous-goods and export regulations.
How do I request a sample or quote?
