Applications of Sulfur Powder

Sulfur powder has a wide range of applications in industry. Our common items such as matches, adhesives, synthetic fibres, paper products, plastics, batteries, lotions, skin cream dyes, fungicides, etc. all owe their existence to sulfur powder. In recent years, with the advancement of ultra-micro grinding technology, micronised sulfur powder has a wider and higher-end application. For example, sulfur is added in the manufacture of tyres to harden the rubber and prevent it from melting at higher temperatures.

Insoluble sulfur is mainly used as a vulcanisation accelerator and agent in the rubber industry. It allows a more solid adhesion of the rubber, prevents the rubber from breaking apart and improves resistance to heat and tyre wear, and is therefore an essential raw material in tyre production.

What does sulphur spray mean?

Blooming occurs in rubber, which refers to the situation in which sulfur migrates on the surface and forms crystals.

How long is sulphur powder valid for?

Sulfur is an important raw material for sulfuric acid production. At present, there are more than 100 sulfuric acid production enterprises in my country, and the output accounts for about 47% of the total output. Most of these enterprises use solid sulfur, and a small part use liquid sulfur.

Several methods to improve the stability of sulfur powder

In the wild environment, if the sulfur is exposed to sunlight for a long time, the insoluble sulfur will be decomposed due to the combined influence of high temperature, microorganisms, ultraviolet rays and oxygen.

Industrial Sulphur Powder Hazards and Protection

Industrial sulfur is an easily combustible solid, and it is explosive. If there is a certain concentration of industrial sulfur dust in the air, it will not only cause a fire when encountering an open flame and high temperature, but also easily carry static electricity, which can reach thousands of volts or even higher.
