LEAD CARBONATE LR
Lead carbonate is used as a catalyst to polymerize formaldehyde to poly(oxymethylene). It improves the bonding of chloroprene to wire.
Catalyzes the polymerization of formaldehyde to high molecular weight crystalline poly(oxymethylene) products; used in poly(vinyl chloride) friction liners for pulleys on drive cables of hoisting engines; to improve the bond of polychloroprene to metals in wire-reinforced hoses, 10-25 parts of lead carbonate are used ...
Lead carbonate hydroxide has had a widespread use as pigment in house paint in some countries, and weathering, chalking, and peeling paint may cause heavy exposure (Rosner et al., 2005). Organolead added to gasoline used to be another large-scale source of exposure.
The commercial form of lead acetate, lead acetate trihydrate, is used as a mordant in textile printing and dyeing, as a lead coating for metals, as a drier in paints, varnishes, and pigment inks, and as a colorant in hair dyes
