Abstract

Phase stable lead monoxide powders are disclosed in which substantially pure free flowing PbO having a crystal phase which is homogeneous, and which phase may be selected from either the litharge or massicot forms, retains such phase homogeneity over extended periods under ambient storage conditions or even under the influence of ultraviolet light. Furthermore, lead monoxide powders and their oxalate precursors whose particles have a plate-like morphology and size which make them ideal for numerous applications are described. These and other compositions, as well as methods for making and utilizing these novel preparations, are included.
