CAS 1317-36-8: Lead oxide (PbO)

Applications Lead(II) Oxide is used as the starting material in the synthesis of Dibasic Lead Phthalate Hydrate (D417070); a compound that is used in vinyl wire insulation as a flame retardant. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Grossman, R. et al.: J. Vinyl Addt. Tech., 9, 65 (2003); Grossman, R. et al.: Vinyl Addt. Tech., 6, 138 (2000)

It is employed mostly in lead-based industrial glass and industrial ceramics, including computer components. Lead monoxide is used as an intermediate/precursor in the manufacture of several products, for example water proof cements, lubricants, lubricating oils, inorganic pigments, lead soaps, petroleum refining, rubber, cathode ray tube glass, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is useful for lead acid batteries as cathode and anode. Lead monoxide scores significant applications in oil, gas and chemical manufactures. It is an efficient catalyst for condensation reactions in organic synthesis. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.

It is used in the manufacture of glass, ceramics and computer components. Addition of lead oxide increases the refractive index, electrical resistivity, Curie temperature, and the ability of the glass to absorb X-rays. It is also added to decrease the viscosity of glass. It is employed in the vulcanization of rubber, lead acid batteries, and in the production of certain pigments and paints. In cathode ray tube glass lead oxide is used to block X-ray emission. It acts as an efficient reagent in oxidation reactions as well as condensation reactions of hydroxy ketones with diamines to form quinoxaline derivatives with high yield.

Lead(II) oxide is a chemical compound that has been shown to have biological properties. It acts as a surface glycoprotein and has been shown to be stable in various environments. Lead(II) oxide is also chemically inert, with redox potentials that are higher than those of many other compounds. When lead(II) oxide is heated, it can react with water to form lead hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Studies show that lead(II) oxide is toxic when inhaled or ingested. Lead(II) oxide has been shown to be effective in wastewater treatment due to its high solubility and low toxicity to microorganisms. Lead(II) oxide is also used in the production of thermometers, which require a material that does not expand or contract significantly with changes in temperature. Lead(II) oxide has been shown to have bioavailability in vivo and transfer reactions have been observed between this compound and other metals such as copper and zinc.
