Lead Metal Shot – LR Grade, 500g

Lead Metal Shot is supplied in a 500g pack and manufactured to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade. The shot form consists of small, rounded pellets of metallic lead, making it convenient to handle for controlled demonstrations and physical or chemical investigations in educational laboratories.

Identified by CAS Number: 7439‑92‑1 and with no UN number, lead metal shot is not classified as hazardous for transport, but it remains a toxic heavy metal. It must be handled in accordance with appropriate laboratory safety procedures and COSHH risk assessments. Use should be strictly teacher‑led, with careful attention to hygiene and disposal practices.

Supplied specifically for educational purposes, this product is shipped only to school and institutional addresses and is intended for supervised classroom and laboratory use.
