Lead (II) Nitrate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Pb(NO3)2. It commonly occurs as a colourless crystal or white powder and, unlike most other lead(II) salts, is soluble in water. Its major wide-scale use was in lead-based paints, but was later swapped out for less toxic equivalents. Its more modern uses lay as a stabiliser for nylon and polyester fabrics, in coatings for photothermographic paper, and for gold cyanidation. However, the use of lead nitrate is constantly being scrutinised for its toxic and hazardous nature.
