Lead Tungsten Oxide, 99.9%(CAS: 7759-01-5)

Lead tungstate (PbWO4, CAS: 7759-01-5) is a crystalline inorganic compound known for its high refractive index and excellent light-scattering properties. It is used in various applications due to its unique optical characteristics.

Lead tungstate is primarily used in X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, nuclear physics, and as a scintillator material in detectors. It is also used in high-energy physics experiments and as a high-index material in optical devices.

Lead tungstate is considered relatively safe for most laboratory use, but exposure to lead can be harmful. It is important to handle it with gloves and in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation or skin contact. Protective measures should be taken to minimize health risks.

Lead tungstate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and other potential sources of heat. It should be kept in a sealed container to prevent contamination and ensure its integrity. Avoid exposure to moisture and maintain optimal storage conditions to preserve its properties.
