  • What is HS ot20 soluble sulfur used for?
  • HS OT20 Insoluble Sulfur is used as a vulcanizing agent for rubber compounds. Use of insoluble sulfur prevents migration (bloom) of sulfur from uncured rubber compounds stock. This allows good building tack and fewer flow lines in compression cured parts.
  • Will crystextm HS OT 20 de-polymerize to soluble sulfur?
  • At vulcanization temperatures CrystexTM HS OT 20 will de-polymerize to soluble sulfur and will behave similar to "Rubber Maker's" sulfur. CrystexTM HS OT 20 is a metastable product which can revert to soluble sulfur if not stored under proper conditions.
  • How does insoluble sulfur affect cured parts?
  • Use of insoluble sulfur prevents migration (bloom) of sulfur from uncured rubber compounds stock. This allows good building tack and fewer flow lines in compression cured parts. Insoluble sulfur slowly converts to standard sulfur above 220°F (or very rapidly at curing temperatures) so there is no effect on sulfur migration in cured parts.
  • What causes crystex to revert to 'rubber maker's' sulfur?
  • Amines and other alkaline vapors can cause Crystex to revert to "Rubber Maker's" sulfur at any temperature. High temperatures will also cause Crystex to revert to "Rubber Maker's" sulfur. When stored in closed containers below 20°C the reversion rate is less than 1%/year. Reversion of Crystex could result in sulfur bloom of uncured rubber.
