What is Lead methanesulfonate?
Lead methanesulfonate (CAS 17570-76-2) is a lead salt of methanesulfonic acid; a soluble lead source for electroplating baths and specialty metal finishing.
Where is Lead methanesulfonate used?
- Electronics: electroplating baths for tin-lead and pure lead deposition onto circuit boards
- Connectors and semiconductor components requiring precise layer control
- Metalworking: additive in extreme-pressure lubricant formulations
- Corrosion inhibitor component in industrial fluids where lead-based chemistry is specified
- Automotive parts finishing: bearing surfaces and bushing coatings
- It offers high solubility in aqueous systems, making it practical for controlled deposition.
Good to know: Unlike traditional lead compounds, it offers high solubility in aqueous systems.
Commercial specifications
- Concentration expressed as lead content or as a percentage of the salt in solution
- Drums or intermediate bulk containers
