Using sulfur as a vulcanizing agent is still widely used in the rubber industry. As a variant of sulfur (S)—insoluble sulfur (IS), it is widely used in the manufacture of tires, rubber shoes, rubber hoses, tapes, and sundries at home and abroad. It is widely used in the bonding of rubber and steel wire.
Insoluble sulfur (IS) is a linear long-chain high molecular polymer processed by sulfur (S). The number of sulfur atoms in the molecular chain is as high as 108 or more; it has the viscoelasticity and molecular weight distribution of a polymer; it is insoluble in carbon disulfide , So it is called insoluble sulfur.
