Lead acetate（Cat No.:M087600） is also known as the sugar of lead. It appears as a white crystalline substance with a slightly sweet taste, historically used in sweetening wines. Lead acetate is highly toxic, soluble in water, and was once commonly used in hair dyes and other cosmetics. Its use is now highly restricted due to its toxicity, particularly its potential to cause lead poisoning. In laboratories, it is used as a reagent for the detection of sulfur compounds and in other specialized chemical syntheses.
