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.

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.

About Sulfur Impurities and Their Effects

Sulphur contains certain impurities. Since the origin and production methods of sulphur are not exactly the same, there are certain differences in the impurities and corresponding quantities they contain.

Can sulfur powder be added in food processing?

Food-grade sulfur product powder is made after very strict processing and purification. Unlike industrial sulfur product powder, which contains a lot of heavy metal elements including arsenic.

Two major uses of sulfur powder

Sulfur powder, with a content of 99.5%-99.95%, is obtained by crushing and screening sulfur blocks. It has many uses and plays an important role in rubber tires, chemical fibers, medicine and other industries.
