Application
Lead chloride is a white crystalline powder primarily used as a source of lead in various industrial applications. It plays a significant role in the chemical manufacture of other lead compounds, and it is also used as an additive in glass production, enhancing properties such as infrared transmission and imparting iridescence to ornamental glass surfaces. In ceramics, it serves as a raw material, particularly in the production of barium lead titanate ceramics. In the paint industry, lead chloride is valued for its natural white color, making it an essential ingredient for white pigments and as a raw material in the creation of pigments like Pattison's white lead, verona yellow, turner's patent yellow, and lead oxychloride. Additionally, it acts as a fluxing agent in welding, a flame retardant in wire coatings, and as a cathode material in magnesium-lead dichloride seawater batteries. Lead chloride is also used as an additive in asbestos clutch and brake linings, underscoring its versatility across multiple applications.
