A number of methods for controlling the tetra-basic lead sulphate crystals are also well known in the literature. Simply heating the pasted plates during curing to more than 80 degC, for example during a short steam cure will generate a significant tetra-basic crystal structure although with a wide ranging crystal size distribution, sizes of more than 50 microns being common. Therefore see figure 1 showing big sized tetra basic lead sulphate crystals formed after a steam cure step using no seeding crystals or any other additives.
