Product Code : SCL-LC-12171
Lead Chromate (SKU SCL-LC-12171) is PbCrO4, an inorganic chromate compound containing both lead and hexavalent chromium, supplied as a restricted reagent for authorised chemistry laboratories. Colleges, universities, analytical and research labs use it for controlled analytical, qualitative and teaching work where a method names lead chromate. Science Lab Supplies handles supply from Ambala, India, quoting laboratories, stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors that have trained staff in place.
Specifications
Lead chromate has the formula PbCrO4, CAS number 7758-97-6 and a molecular weight of about 323.2 g/mol. Because it combines a toxic heavy metal with hexavalent chromium, it is handled as a restricted hazardous chemical. Grade, assay and pack size are confirmed on the quotation and label.

Applications and Experiments for Lead Chromate
Lead chromate is used only where an approved method or teaching plan specifically requires it: controlled analytical procedures, qualitative inorganic chemistry under supervision, and instruction on chromate and heavy-metal chemistry. Many laboratories also use it to train staff in labelling, segregating and disposing of highly regulated reagents.
- B.Sc. and M.Sc. inorganic chemistry: supervised study of chromate and heavy-metal compounds.
- Analytical and research laboratories: methods that name lead chromate, CAS 7758-97-6.
- Reference use where institutional chemical-safety policy permits it.
- Chemical-safety training on hazardous-waste segregation and storage.
It is not for unsupervised students or general classroom demonstrations. Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection, use respiratory controls where required, avoid dust, and keep it away from food areas and drains. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each supply is a sealed container of lead chromate with a label stating batch, grade and hazard information, plus its Safety Data Sheet, inside tamper-sealed outer packing. Container size is given on the quotation; secondary containment and protective equipment are not included.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Lead chromate is usually ordered in small quantities, and a quote can be prepared for a single container. The quotation states the pack size, hazardous-goods packing, delivery time and price, and other inorganic reagents can go on the same document.
Science Lab Supplies, registered as an exporter under an Importer-Exporter Code, is able to ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal, where the transport rules for toxic substances allow it. Ask questions on the contact page, compile a list in the enquiry cart, or see how tenders are handled on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is lead chromate used for in laboratories?
It is used in authorised analytical, qualitative and research procedures that specifically require it, in supervised teaching of chromate and heavy-metal chemistry, and as a reference material where policy allows.
Why is lead chromate treated as a restricted chemical?
It contains both lead and hexavalent chromium, so it needs trained handling, gloves, eye protection, exposure controls, locked storage and disposal as hazardous lead/chromium waste.
What are its formula and CAS number?
Lead chromate is PbCrO4, CAS 7758-97-6, with a molecular weight of about 323.2 g/mol.
Who supplies Lead Chromate?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it out of Ambala, India, to colleges, analytical and research laboratories, contractors and distributors, with pack size and batch details on each quotation.
