Overview of Red Lead
Red Lead has the chemical formula Pb3O4 and a formula weight of approximately 685.60 g/mol. It is typically a bright red to orange-red powder and is practically insoluble in water.
The compound contains lead in both the +2 and +4 oxidation states. It differs from Lead Monoxide, commonly called Litharge, and Lead Dioxide. Buyers should confirm the exact oxide identity and composition before procurement.
Buyers should confirm Pb3O4 content, assay method, residual Lead Monoxide, particle size, moisture, apparent density, insoluble matter, and relevant impurity limits. Specifications should match the intended battery, glass, ceramic, or coating process.
Applications of Red Lead
Lead-Acid Battery Manufacturing
Red Lead is used in selected lead-acid battery plate formulations. Battery manufacturers should confirm oxide composition, particle characteristics, and impurity limits according to their paste preparation and plate production requirements.
Specialty Glass Manufacturing
Suitable grades are used as a lead-containing raw material in selected lead glass and optical glass formulations. Buyers should confirm chemical purity and impurities that could affect glass colour or performance.
Industrial Ceramics & Glazes
Red Lead is used in selected lead-containing ceramic and glaze compositions. Application suitability must be checked against the finished product’s specifications, exposure conditions, and applicable restrictions on lead-containing materials.
Industrial Anti-Corrosion Pigments
Red Lead has a long-established use as an anti-corrosion pigment in protective primers for iron and steel. Its use requires confirmation of applicable lead restrictions and the intended coating specification.
