HS v2017 Code: 282490

About lead oxides; n.e.c. in heading no. 2824

HS code 282490 covers a range of lead oxide compounds that are not specifically classified elsewhere. These lead oxides have a wide variety of industrial applications, including in the production of batteries, pigments, and other chemical products. As a key component in many essential industries, the lead oxide sector plays an important role in the broader global economy.

Production process

Lead oxides are typically produced through the oxidation of metallic lead. This can be achieved through various methods, such as roasting lead ores or directly oxidizing lead metal. The specific production techniques used will depend on the desired lead oxide compound, with factors like temperature, oxygen levels, and reaction time all influencing the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of lead oxides under HS code 282490 include lead metal or lead-containing ores, as well as energy sources and processing equipment. Depending on the application, other raw materials such as acids or other chemicals may also be required. Specialized machinery for tasks like melting, mixing, and drying are essential for the efficient manufacture of lead oxide compounds.

Production outputs

The lead oxide products covered by HS code 282490 have a wide range of applications. They are commonly used in the production of 852520 lead-acid batteries, as well as in the manufacture of pigments, glass, and other chemical products. The outputs from this industry may be further processed or incorporated into a variety of 854389 electrical machinery and equipment and 282490 other chemical products.
