LEAD DIOXIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Lead dioxide is a dark brown or black crystalline solid with the chemical formula PbO₂, used in various industrial applications. It is employed as an oxidizing agent in the production of lead-acid batteries, where it serves as the positive electrode. Lead dioxide is also used in the manufacture of pigments, ceramics, and in the chemical industry for synthesizing other lead compounds. Despite its utility, lead dioxide is highly toxic and poses significant health risks, including neurological damage and potential carcinogenic effects. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize exposure. Personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation are crucial when working with lead dioxide.
