Description:
Red Lead, also known as Lead Oxide (Pb₃O₄), is a bright red or orange-red powder widely used for its protective and corrosion-resistant properties. It is valued for its stability, excellent coverage, and strong adhesion when used in coatings and industrial applications. Red Lead offers reliable performance across a variety of environments, making it a popular choice in heavy-duty protective systems.
Applications:
Red Lead is commonly used in:
- Protective primers for steel structures, bridges, pipelines, and marine equipment
- Lead-acid battery manufacturing as an active material component
- Ceramics and glass for coloring and glazing
- Rubber and plastic industries as a pigment or stabilizer
- Anticorrosive paints requiring long-term performance

| Parameters | Typical Value |
| Lead Content (as PbO%) | 92–95% |
| Specific Gravity | 8.3 – 9.2 |
| Moisture (% Max) | 0.2% |
| Particle Size | 95% passing through 325 mesh |
Note:
While these are standard specifications, we will be able to curate the material as per the client’s exact requirements once we have their respective technical requisition sheet.
Handling and Hygiene:
All lead compounds are toxic. The safe use of these compounds can be achieved by the adoption of correct and hygienic methods of operation. We would be happy to assist our clients with additional information and advice on such matters, if necessary, upon request.
Packing:
Red Lead is packaged in HDPE woven sacks with a plastic liner in 25 kg and 50 kg quantities.
