The widespread utilization of technical granular sulfur extends across various industries. It serves in the manufacture of fertilizers, pesticides, rubber goods, pharmaceuticals, dyes, explosives, and other chemical items.
Sulfur finds application in oil and gas refining processes, as well as in paper, textile, and plastic production. It is effective in surface treatment of metals, wood preservation, and acts as a preservative in the food industry.
With its high chemical stability and extended shelf life, sulfur readily dissolves in select organic solvents like benzene and toluene, making it a valuable raw material for the synthesis of other sulfur compounds.
