Description

Dilead Oxide CAS NO 12059-89-1 is an inorganic compound consisting of lead and oxygen, also known as lead(II,IV) oxide. This material is valued for its unique electrochemical properties and its role as a precursor in the synthesis of other lead-based compounds. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the battery, ceramics, and specialty glass industries for its conductive and pigmentary characteristics.

Application

• Lead-Acid Battery Manufacturing: A key component in the production of electrodes and pastes for automotive and industrial batteries.
• Ceramic & Glass Production: Used in frit and glaze formulations to modify melting points and impart specific colors or optical properties.
• Pigment & Coloring Agent: Serves as a base for producing certain orange and red inorganic pigments used in coatings and plastics.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a precursor or oxidizing agent in the manufacture of other lead salts and specialty chemicals.
• Electronic Ceramics: Employed in the formulation of piezoelectric materials and certain dielectric compositions.
• Rust Inhibitive Primers: Historically used in corrosion-protective paints for steel structures (subject to regional regulations).
