Usage

General Description

Lead acetate basic is a chemical compound with the formula Pb4(OOCH)6(OH)4. It is a yellowish crystalline powder that is commonly used as a mordant in textile dyeing and as a reagent in organic synthesis. Lead acetate basic is also known as lead tetraacetate or sugar of lead, and is highly toxic if ingested or inhaled. It is considered a carcinogen and has been banned from use in many consumer products due to its hazardous properties. In industrial settings, it is used as a catalyst in chemical reactions, and in household products, it has historically been found in hair dyes and some cosmetics. Additionally, lead acetate basic has been used for its sweetening properties in the past, due to the sweet taste of lead compounds, though this use has largely been discontinued due to health concerns.
