It is obtained from mineral sulfides, which, after prior enrichment, are roasted and sintered in a furnace, thus obtaining lead (II) oxide. This is reduced with coking coal to impure lead metal (construction lead). The lead is purified by pyrometallurgical or electrolytic methods.
It is used as radiation shielding in nuclear reactors and X-ray equipment.
Lead and lead dioxide are used for automotive batteries, plumbing, chemical devices and ammunition.
It is used for soundproofing machines, as it is very effective in absorbing sound and vibrations.
Lead(II) oxide is used for the production of high refractive index glasses to manufacture achromatic lenses.
Lead(II) carbonate and chromate are used as pigments in paints.
Lead(II) sulfide has semiconducting properties and is therefore used in photoelectric cells.
They come in the presentation of 25 Kg and 45 Kg ingots, with a minimum purity of 99.97 %, distributed in packages and lots, according to the customers' requirements.
