Lead Acetate, also known as Lead(II) Acetate and Lead Diacetate, has the chemical formula C₄H₆O₄Pb or Pb(CH₃COO)₂. It appears as colorless crystals or white crystalline powder with a slight acetic odor and is Water-soluble at ambient conditions. When heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of Lead Oxides. It can be synthesized by dissolving Lead Monoxide or Lead Carbonate in strong Acetic Acid. An ACS Grade reagent is a chemical that meets the purity requirements of the American Chemical Society (ACS). It is generally equivalent to the Analytical Reagent Grade. For dependable, consistent, and repeatable findings, ACS Grade reagents can be utilized in high-quality research labs. In the United States of America (USA), Lab Alley sells its high-quality Lead Acetate, ACS/Analytical Reagent Grade online at laballey.com.

Information About Lead Acetate From Wikipedia

Lead(II) acetate, also known as lead acetate, lead diacetate, plumbous acetate, sugar of lead, lead sugar, salt of Saturn, or Goulard's powder, is a white crystalline chemical compound with a sweet taste. It is made by treating lead(II) oxide with acetic acid. Like other lead compounds, it is toxic.

Lead acetate is a white crystalline compound of lead with a sweetish taste. Known as “sugar of lead”, it is water-soluble and one of the most bioavailable forms of lead. Similar to other lead compounds, it is very poisonous and soluble in water.

Lead Acetate Solubility

Lead acetate is soluble in water and glycerin. With water it forms the trihydrate, Pb(CH3COO) 3H2O, a colourless or white efflorescent monoclinic crystalline substance.

Lead Acetate in Hair Dye: What You Need to Know [YouTube.com Video From Dr. Jen Caudle]

Lead Acetate For Grey Hair

Lead acetate is common in hair dyes — particularly, in “progressive” hair dyes. Progressive hair dyes, more commonly used by men, work to cover gray hair gradually. Continued exposure to lead acetate is potentially a serious health concern, and it is time for the FDA to ban its use in hair products.

Information On Lead(II) Acetate From PubChem

Lead acetate appears as a white to gray crystalline solid. Denser than water. Contact may irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May be toxic by inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption. Used in dyes, waterproofing, insecticides, antifouling paints, hair dyes and many other processes. Read more here.
