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.

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.

Storage method of industrial sulfur powder

sulfur is flammable and explosive, mixed with air for sandblasting or burning, and needs to be avoided with care when igniting. Although sulfur is a low toxicity chemical toxicologically, the combustion of its vapor and sulfur following a sulfur dioxide attack is highly toxic to humans.

What are the advantages of insoluble sulfur?

Insoluble sulfur is generally used in the production of rubber composite products such as tires, and is an accelerator and vulcanizing agent in the rubber industry.
