Lead Oxide Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- lead(II) Oxide
- Litharge
- Plumbous Oxide
- PbO
Lead oxide supplier enquiries in Malaysia are normally for lead(II) oxide, PbO, also known as litharge or plumbous oxide. It is a yellow to orange-red powder, with colour and crystal form influenced by the polymorph and the grade selected.
Technical litharge, ceramic and glass grades, and higher-purity PbO are separate buying choices within this product identity. Buyers may need a particular particle size, colour, PbO basis or impurity profile for firing, compound manufacture or materials processing.
Lead oxide is used in lead glass, ceramic glaze, frit and related lead-compound chemistry. It can also be specified in electrochemical or battery-related materials work, but leady oxide blends and red lead are different products and should be named separately.
Send the exact PbO identity, grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, route and timing are confirmed with the quotation, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Lead Oxide grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical litharge | yellow to orange-red powder | — | General lead compound manufacture and industrial process chemistry where lead(II) oxide identity, colour and particle size are specified. | Packing format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Ceramic and glass grade lead(II) oxide | fine yellow to orange-red powder | — | Lead glass, ceramic glaze and speciality frit formulations where the PbO basis, colour and impurity limits are matched to the firing process. | Packing format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Higher-purity lead(II) oxide | fine crystalline powder | — | Precursor and materials work that requires tighter control of carbonate, moisture or trace-metal impurities than a general technical grade. | Packing format is confirmed with the quotation. |

Common questions about lead oxide
What does lead oxide mean on this page?
This page covers lead(II) oxide, PbO, commonly called litharge or plumbous oxide. It is a yellow to orange-red powder whose colour can vary with the polymorph and grade. State the PbO identity on the enquiry when another lead compound could be confused with it.
Is lead oxide the same as red lead?
No. Lead oxide on this page is PbO, lead(II) oxide. Red lead is lead tetroxide, Pb3O4, a separate product with a different composition and specification, so a formulation calling for red lead should be quoted under that name.
Which lead oxide grade suits glass or ceramic work?
Ceramic and glass grades are selected against the firing process, colour, particle size and impurity limits. Send the frit, glaze or glass specification and the required PbO basis so a suitable grade can be considered without substituting lead tetroxide or a leady oxide blend.
Is battery lead oxide the same as leady oxide?
Not necessarily. Battery production may specify PbO or a leady oxide blend, and those are not interchangeable catalogue identities. State the exact material, oxidation basis, particle-size requirement and battery process in the enquiry.
What information should a lead oxide quotation include?
Provide the identity, grade, colour or polymorph, particle size, PbO basis, impurity limits, quantity and delivery location. Add the intended glass, ceramic, materials or laboratory use and any documentation requirement.
How should lead oxide powder be handled?
Keep the powder sealed and dry, control dust during charging and follow the safety information issued with the quoted grade. The buyer should apply the handling controls required for lead compounds in its own workplace procedure.
