7446-14-2

A white crystalline solid. Insoluble in water and sinks in water. Contact may irritate skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. May be mildly toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. Used to make other chemicals. Use: in lithography, battery acid solution treated fabrics, used in varnishes.

LEAD SULFATE(7446-14-2) reacts explosively with boric acid [Bretherick 1979. p. 1029]. Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic metal fumes [USCG, 1999].

Insoluble in water.

INHALATION: Joint and muscle pains, headache, dizziness and insomnia. Weakness, frequently of extensor muscles of hand and wrist (unilateral or bilateral). Heavy contamination. Brain damage. Stupor progressing to coma-with or without convulsion, often death. Excitation, confusion, and mania less common. Cerebrospinal pressure may be increased. EYES: Caused a moderat purulent reaction and general inflammation of the rabbit eye. INGESTION: Abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, muscular weakness, headache, blue line on gums, metallic taste, nausea and vomiting.

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

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic metal fumes

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

Lead sulfate is a heavy, white crystallinepowder. Molecular weight=303.25; Freezing/Meltingpoint = 1170℃. Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704M Rating System): Health 3, Flammability 0, Reactivity 1.Soluble in water.

Lead sulfate is a heavy, white crystalline powder.

white crystals or powder

As pigment instead of white lead; manufacture of galvanic and lead-acid batteries; manufacture of minium, in lithography; preparing rapidly drying oil varnishes; weighting fabrics.

It has been used in photography in combination with silver bromide and is used in the stabilization of clay soil for adobe structures, earth-fill dams, and roads.

Lead(II) sulfate is used in pigments, galvanic batteries, lithography, weighting fabrics. It is also used as intermediates.

anglesite: A mineral form oflead(II) sulphate, PbSO₄.

Lead sulfate, PbSO4, is soluble in concentrated acids and alkalies, forming hydroxyplumbites. It is prepared by treating lead oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate with warm sulfuric acid, or by treating a soluble lead salt with sulfuric acid.

Color Code—White: Corrosive or Contact Hazard;Store separately in a corrosion-resistant location. Prior toworking with this chemical you should be trained on its proper handling and storage. Lead sulfate must be stored toavoid contact with oxidizers (such as perchlorates, peroxides, permanganates, chlorates, and nitrates) and chemicallyactive metals (such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, andzinc), since violent reactions occur. Lead is regulated by anOSHA Standard 1910.1025. All requirements of the standard must be followed. A regulated, marked area should beestablished where this chemical is handled, used, or storedin compliance with OSHA Standard 1910.1045.
