Lead Oxide Yellow

Lead Oxide Yellow — Massicot (Lead(II) Oxide, PbO)

High-purity Lead(II) oxide (massicot) — a warm yellow inorganic pigment valued for stable color, thermal resistance and controlled particle morphology. Available in multiple grades tailored for coatings, ceramics and industrial formulations.

  • Consistent Color & Tone:Reproducible warm yellow massicot tone across production batches.
  • Custom Particle Size:D50 ranges and surface treatment options available for optimized dispersion.
  • Thermal Stability:Good performance in high-temperature ceramic processes and some coating cures.
  • Factory Supply:Wholesale volumes, COA for each batch, and technical dispersion support.

Applications:

Used for lead yellow pigment, lead salts, ceramics, glass, and rubber

How we stand out vs competitors

  • Strict batch QC: COA issued for each shipment, including particle size distribution and chemical purity.
  • Grade variety: Multiple D50 grades and surface treatments to reduce oil absorption or improve wetting.
  • Technical support: Dispersion protocols, recommended surfactants, and small-scale trial support.
  • Flexible supply chain: Factory direct pricing, export documentation assistance and flexible packaging.
  • Compliance assistance: Guidance on market restrictions and alternative pigments where lead is regulated.

Is Lead Oxide Yellow safe for consumer products?

No — lead-containing pigments are generally restricted or banned in many consumer applications (paints for homes, toys, food-contact materials). Our Lead Oxide Yellow is intended for industrial use only and must be handled in accordance with regulations and the SDS.

What documentation do you provide with shipments?

Each shipment can include a Certificate of Analysis (COA). SDS and TDS are available for download and on request. We can also assist with export paperwork and classification for transport if needed.

Are there safer alternatives to Lead Oxide Yellow?

Yes — for many modern applications, organic yellows, iron-oxide based yellows, or other inorganic pigments can replace lead-based yellows. Selection depends on heat stability, color tone and regulatory constraints; we can recommend alternatives based on your needs.

Do you handle hazardous shipping and customs?

Yes — we have experience packing and shipping hazardous materials. Shipping methods and documentation vary by destination; contact logistics for specific port/transport details and to confirm regulatory requirements.
