Lead sulfate is used in storage batteries and paint pigments. Used in the making of alloys, fastdrying oil varnishes; weighting fabrics; in lithography

Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency medical service. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. Keep victim warm and quiet. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves. Medical observation is recommended for 24 to 48 hours after breathing overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed. As first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized paramedic may consider administering a drug or other inhalation therapy. If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least 20 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Do not induce vomiting

UN2291 Lead compounds, soluble n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required. UN1794 Lead sulfate with more than 3% free acid, Hazard class: 8; Labels: 8-Corrosive material. UN3077 Environmentally hazardous substances, solid, n.o. s., Hazard class: 9; Labels: 9-Miscellaneous hazardous material, Technical Name Required

Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Contact with potassium can cause explosion. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, and epoxides

Applications for tribasic lead sulfate stabilizers include thermal stabilization of flexible PVC wire insulation compounds containing phthalate-type plasticizers, wire insulation designed to meet Underwriters Laboratories specifications through 80 C, rigid and flexible PVC foams, rigid vinyl profiles, and PVC plastisols. The usual range of tribasic lead sulfate required in PVC is between two and seven parts per hundred of resin (2 7 phr), depending on the intended application of the vinyl product.
