LEAD OXIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Lead oxide, also known as litharge or red lead, is a reddish or yellowish crystalline solid with the chemical formula PbO. It is used in various industrial applications, including the production of lead-acid batteries, glass, ceramics, and pigments. Lead oxide is also employed as a flux in metallurgy and as a stabilizer in plastics. Despite its utility, lead oxide is highly toxic and poses significant health risks, including neurological damage and potential carcinogenic effects. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize exposure. Personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation are crucial when working with lead oxide.
