Product Overview
PuratrOnic™ Lead(II) fluoride (99.997% metals basis) is a high-purity inorganic compound designed for demanding laboratory applications where trace impurities can compromise results. This ultra-refined powder exhibits exceptional optical transparency in the UV to IR range, making it valuable for advanced photonic materials and specialty glass formulations. The material undergoes rigorous purification processes to eliminate metallic and anionic contaminants, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive analytical and synthesis workflows. Its fine particle size distribution enhances solubility in compatible solvents while maintaining stability under controlled conditions. The PuratrOnic™ grade certification guarantees lot-to-lot consistency with documented impurity profiles below 30ppm for most metallic contaminants. This product is packaged under inert atmosphere to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation, preserving its high purity during storage and handling. The compound’s unique combination of high refractive index and low dispersion properties makes it particularly suitable for optical component fabrication where precision is critical.
FAQs
1. What is the typical particle size range for this PuratrOnic™ Lead(II) fluoride?
The material typically presents a particle size distribution between 1-10 microns, though this may vary slightly between production lots. For applications requiring specific particle sizes, we recommend verifying the certificate of analysis for your particular batch.
2. How does the PuratrOnic™ grade differ from standard reagent grades?
The PuratrOnic™ designation indicates this product has undergone additional purification steps beyond standard reagent grades, achieving 99.997% purity on a metals basis with documented impurity levels for 23 common contaminants. This makes it suitable for applications where trace impurities could affect results.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling this compound?
As with all lead compounds, proper laboratory safety protocols should be followed including use of personal protective equipment, working in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, and following standard procedures for handling toxic substances. The material should be stored in its original container when not in use.
4. Is this product compatible with standard glass laboratory equipment?
While compatible with most borosilicate glassware, we recommend using PTFE or polypropylene containers for long-term storage to prevent potential leaching of silica or alkali metals from glass surfaces, particularly when preparing solutions.
5. What documentation is provided with each order?
Each shipment includes a comprehensive certificate of analysis detailing the actual purity levels, impurity profile, and lot-specific data. Additional safety data sheets and technical information are available upon request for registered customers.
