MARKET INTRODUCTION



Insoluble sulfur is formed by the rapid cooling of the polymer at low temperatures, which blocks the reversion of the ring and leaves behind the metastable polymer structure at room temperature. Insoluble sulfur is sulfur that is insoluble in carbon disulfide, by definition. This type of sulfur is commonly understood as polymeric in nature, with up to several thousand sulfur atoms making up the polymer chains. Insoluble sulfur, which is crystalline in nature is distinct from soluble sulfur.

MARKET DYNAMICS



Insoluble sulfur is used mainly in the production of tires and the motor vehicle industry, which will surge its demand. Furthermore, in the tire industry, insoluble sulfur is used to convert raw rubber to finished rubber at high heat to improve properties like strength and elasticity of the rubber, which will further propel its demand in the market. Moreover, a wide range of applications like insulating material manufacturing for cables, pipelines, and wire manufacturing are some other drivers of insoluble sulfur market growth. Additionally, insoluble sulfur can increase the resistance of all forms of rubber products to both fatigue and ageing, which will have a positive impact on its demand. Further, it's used as the best vulcanizing agent for rubber and is widely used in the manufacture of rubber chemistry such as tires, rubber pipes, shoes, cables and wires, insulation materials, latex, and all kinds of automotive rubber parts, mainly radial tires which will further anticipate too boost its demand.
