Anotations

Scope note:

Heavy yellow powder composed of lead monoxide, both the native mineral as well as lead monoxide produced by heating lead carbonate to 300 C. It is used as a drier in oil, as a low-fire flux in making ceramics and glass, as a yellow pigment in paints and glazes, in thin layers to produce iridescent colors on brass and bronze, as a filler for rubber, and to produce artificial tortoiseshell and horn.
