Red Lead<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gravita India Ltd is a leading Red Lead Manufacturer in India. We have a technologically efficient facility to manufacture red lead powder and supply globally.\u00a0Red Lead\u00a0is a bright red to orange, red powder which is used in making Lead glass and red pigments; paint made with Red Lead is commonly used to protect iron and steel from rusting. Chemically, Red Lead is Lead tetra oxide, Pb3O4, a water-insoluble compound that is prepared by the oxidation of metallic Lead or of litharge (Lead monoxide). The commercial product sometimes contains litharge as an impurity.<\/p>\n

Red Lead<\/b>\u00a0primer is one of the oldest and most commonly used anti-corrosion pigments applied to metal surfaces. Orange-red in color,\u00a0Red Lead<\/b>\u00a0forms the prime coat for most of the largest bridges in the world.\u00a0Red Lead\u00a0<\/b>is also used as primer for most of\u00a0the intricate steel structures of buildings built in the 20th century. Resistant to even salt water,\u00a0<\/span>Red Lead<\/b>\u00a0was liberally applied to the hulls and decks of millions of ships. Typically, 85%\u00a0<\/span>Red Lead<\/b>\u00a0(Lead concentration = 85%) was applied to these steel surfaces. Later,\u00a0<\/span>Red Lead<\/b>\u00a0primers containing as much as 95% to 98% Lead were used.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red Lead<\/b>\u00a0is virtually insoluble in water and alcohol. However, it is soluble in hydrochloric acid present in stomach, therefore it is toxic when ingested. It dissolves in hydrochloric acid, glacial acetic acid, and diluted mixture of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide.<\/p>\n
