Description
In current usage, sublimed lead white refers to basic lead sulfate. However, in the 19th century sublimed lead white was introduced as a nontoxic white paint pigment that contained a mixture of lead sulfate, lead monoxide, and zinc oxide. Sometimes the mixture also contained barium sulfate and chalk. The mixture was also called leaded zinc white.
