Approximately 30 percent of all lead consumed is in the form of lead compounds, such as oxides, tetraethyl and tetramethyl lead, lead chromates, sulfates, silicates, and carbonates, and organic compounds. These lead compounds have been used in paste mixtures in storage batteries, in cements, glasses, and ceramics, as pigments in paints, and as an antiknock agent in gasoline. Lead has extensive use in construction, plumbing, batteries, bullets and shot, weights, solders, pewter’s, fusible alloys, white paints, leaded gasoline, and radiation shielding. We have great mines of lead here in Pakistan and can offer lead purity ranging from 20-60%
LEAD ORE
Lead combination of density and softness make it an excellent barrier to sound. Compared with other metals, lead is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, although it has excellent corrosion resistance when it can form an insoluble protective coating on its surface. The metal has a face-centred cubic crystal lattice structure.
