LEAD OXIDE

We are supplier of the Lead Oxide and other Lead products. Lead Oxide is inorganic compound. Lead Oxide is also known as Litharge and Lead Monoxide. Litharge or PbO is a secondary mineral which is formed from the oxidation of Galena ores. Litharge is a yellowish red substance Lead Oxide. Lead Oxide comes in different form such as powder, pellets, pieces, and tablets. Metal Oxide can react with acids in redox reactions.
