About lead oxides; red lead and orange lead

HS code 2824 covers a range of lead-based oxides, including red lead and orange lead. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, from pigments and paints to batteries and ceramic glazes. As a key component in the production of lead-acid batteries, the lead oxides classified under this code are essential for the global automotive and energy storage sectors. The demand for these products is closely tied to the performance and growth of these industries, making HS 2824 an important part of the broader chemical and manufacturing landscape.

Production process

Lead oxides are typically produced through the oxidation of metallic lead. This can be achieved through a variety of methods, including roasting, electrolytic processes, and chemical reactions. The specific techniques used depend on the desired oxide composition and purity requirements. For example, red lead (Pb3O4) is often produced by heating lead monoxide (PbO) in the presence of air, while orange lead (PbO) can be obtained through the controlled oxidation of metallic lead.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of lead oxides is, of course, metallic lead. Other key inputs may include various chemicals, such as acids or bases, depending on the specific production process. Additionally, specialized equipment like furnaces, reactors, and filtration systems are necessary to facilitate the oxidation and purification of the lead-based materials.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 2824 are the various lead oxides, including red lead (Pb3O4) and orange lead (PbO). These materials find applications in a wide range of industries, such as 2822 Paints and varnishes, 8507 Electric accumulators, and 6907 Ceramic products. The lead oxides produced under this code are often consumed by manufacturers of batteries, pigments, ceramics, and other specialized products.
