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.

How is sulphur powder produced?

As an important raw material in the chemical industry, industrial sulfur powder is widely used in pharmaceuticals, food, explosives, steel pickling and other industrial industries. Among them, our fertilizer industry is the largest consumer of industrial sulfur. Because sulfur powder is a chemical drug, long-term exposure of the skin to this environment, or inhalation of too much will have an impact on your health.

Food-grade sulfur products are widely used in Chinese herbal medicine, dried fruit, starch, candied fruit, sugar extraction and other food industries, but most of them are generally used for fumigation of these foods, not directly imported products.

How to avoid the phenomenon of sulfur spray during the rubber vulcanization process?

In the process of vulcanizing rubber products with special sulfur powder for rubber, we found that sulfur is difficult to dissolve in rubber, and when the temperature changes, the dissolved sulfur may be separated from the rubber again due to the change in solubility, and precipitate on the surface of the rubber. The phenomenon of sulfur spraying.

How to properly store and transport sulphur powder?

When sulfur accidents occur, people generally experience several situations such as inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption. Because it can be partially converted into hydrogen sulfide in the intestine and absorbed, so a large amount of oral intake can lead to hydrogen sulfide poisoning. The systemic toxicity of acute hydrogen sulfide poisoning is manifested as symptoms of the central nervous system, including headache, dizziness, fatigue, vomiting, and coma.

Sulphur has so many uses in life!

Many of us should have heard of or used sulfur soap. A certain amount of sulfur is added in the production of sulfur soap, so as to achieve the purpose of sterilization and removal of mites. In addition, it can effectively control oil, treat tinea pedis, relieve body odor and so on. However, due to the effect of sulfur, long-term use is not recommended to avoid dry skin.

What kind of rubber vulcanization system does sulfur powder for rubber have?

We generally know that rubber-specific sulfur powder is used in a large amount in the rubber production industry, but we may not understand that there are various vulcanization systems in the vulcanization process. Because of different vulcanization conditions, the quality of the rubber produced is also different.

What are the wrong ways to mix sulfur powder with lime sulfur mixture?

Lime sulphur was invented in 1851 to control pests and then developed into fungicides. Lime sulfur mixture is a substance that boils sulfur powder, quicklime and water in a certain proportion. The stock solution is a reddish-brown transparent liquid with the smell of hydrogen sulfide

How to use the special sulfur powder for fruit trees?
