Lead(II) carbonate basic
Lead(II) carbonate basic (CAS 1319-46-6) presents as a white, amorphous powder. With the linear formula (PbCO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·Pb(OH)<sub>2</sub> and a molecular weight of 775.63 g/mol, this essential chemical finds utility in specific industrial applications. It is primarily employed as a pigment, in the manufacturing of other lead compounds, and historically in pyrotechnics. Tech Serve Solutions supplies this compound in a 'p.a.' grade.
Pigment Manufacturing
Basic lead carbonate serves as a white pigment, historically known as white lead. Its opacity and durability made it a key component in oil-based paints, though its use has declined due to toxicity concerns.
Chemical Intermediate
It acts as a precursor in the synthesis of various other lead-based compounds. These can be used in specialized industrial processes or in the formulation of certain materials.
Industrial Applications
Historically, it has seen use in the pyrotechnics industry as a component in certain fireworks and flares. Its specific chemical properties lend themselves to controlled combustion reactions.
