We all know that a rubber specific sulfur powder is needed in the field of rubber manufacturing, which plays an important role in the rubber manufacturing process. Taking insoluble sulfur as an example, it is difficult for rubber products using it as a vulcanizing agent to produce frost phenomenon, but it has good viscosity, which has a good effect on reducing process costs and improving product quality.
Sulfur has a special odor. The melting point is 119 ℃, the vapor pressure is 0.13kPa, and the relative density is 2.0. Sulfur is insoluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol and ether, and easily soluble in carbon disulfide, making it a good insulator for electricity and heat. The above is about the role of sulfur in rubber manufacturing, but in reality, the role of sulfur has spread throughout various aspects of life, and many functions are not even noticed or known by everyone. Next, let's talk about the other uses of sulfur powder that you don't know about:
Chemical products can also play a role in food processing. In addition to specific foods that can be fumigated with sulfur powder, they can also be used to make food decolorizing agents, which are commonly used in the sugarcane sugar industry. In agricultural cultivation, sulfur can be used as a soil pH improver and also has good effects on pest control. Generally, potted plants often prepare some sulfur.
Sulfur is an important raw material for industrial sulfuric acid production, and there is more than one type of sulfur used in rubber mentioned above. Different specifications of products can become different vulcanizing agents, and the products presented are also diverse. Moreover, sulfur has always been a traditional Chinese medicinal herb in China, and until now, medical sulfur has been widely used to treat skin diseases. It is also unimaginable that in the electrical industry, sulfur powder can also be used to manufacture television tubes and fluorescent powder.
