An Overview On Insoluble Sulfur, Crystex HD OT 20, and Crystex HS OT 20
Insoluble sulfur refers to a white powder which is insoluble in water. It is also insoluble when dissolved in alcohol or ether.
Although insoluble sulfur is naturally found in the environment, it can also be synthesized. Roasting is the natural form of insoluble sulfur, and sulfiting is its synthetic counterpart.
As a result of burning coal or petroleum products, insoluble sulphur can also be found. It can also come from the smelting of copper, lead, or zinc ores. It can also be made when organic material is decomposed anaerobically, without oxygen.
What are the benefits of insoluble sulfur in rubber industry?
Insoluble sulfur is a key raw material in the rubber industry. This material has many advantages.
1) Insoluble sulfur is an excellent vulcanizing agent. It can be used for both natural and synthetic rubber. It improves the vulcanization characteristics of rubber, reduces the viscosity and makes it elastic.
2) Insoluble sulfur can be used to fill tires, belts, and hoses that require high strength and toughness.
3) Insoluble sulfur can also be used to lubricate steel mill gears or bearings. This can help increase their service lives by up to 30%
4) Insoluble sulfur can also be used to protect metal surfaces from rusting and corrosion.
Crystex HDOT 20 and Crystex HST OT 20 are two types of Crystex
Crystex HD OT 20 resin is a high density, high-strength and hardener resin that is used for concrete production. Crystex HS OT20 is a high strength and hardness resin that can be used in concrete production to improve its properties.
Crystex HD OT 20 & Crystex HS OT 20 both have the same components but different densities. HD is more dense than HS, which allows it to absorb more moisture.
Crystex HS OT 20 is stronger and harder than Crystex HD OT 20. It can therefore be used to produce concrete with better properties, such as strength or hardness.
