Lead(II) Carbonate, Basic – LR Grade, 500g (UN Approved)

Basic Lead(II) Carbonate, also known as Trilead Bis(carbonate) Dihydroxide, is supplied in a 500g UN‑approved container and manufactured to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade. This white inorganic compound has long‑established use in educational chemistry laboratories for the supervised study of lead compounds and their chemical properties.

Identified by CAS Number: 1319‑46‑6 and UN Number: 3288, basic lead carbonate is a regulated and toxic substance. It must be handled with care and used strictly in accordance with appropriate laboratory safety procedures and COSHH risk assessments. Due to the presence of lead, use should be limited to controlled, teacher‑led activities only.

Please note: this chemical is supplied exclusively to educational establishments. Customers must be logged in with an approved school or institutional account for the Add To Basket button to appear. Orders are shipped only to school addresses. Due to courier regulations, chemical products cannot be returned; this does not affect statutory rights.
