Sulphur is used as vulcanising agent in the production of rubber. It cross links the polyisoprene found in the latex from the rubber tree.
the process is to mix the latex with sulfur and other additives e.g. carbon black, and then heat. The characteristics of the rubber produced depend on what and how much is added to the latex and how long it is heated for.
What else can I help you with?
Which substances is added to make natural rubber more strong and bouncy?
To make natural rubber stronger and bouncier, substances such as sulfur and accelerators are added during the vulcanization process. Vulcanization involves heating the rubber with sulfur to create cross-links between the polymer chains, enhancing its strength and elasticity.
What are bad conductor of electricity?
glass, rubber, sulphur, wood, cloth, paper, ...
What happens when a little of ion powder mix with sulphur powder is being heated?
Do you mean iron powder mixed with sulphur powder? Fe(s) + S(s) ---> FeS (iron sulfide)
What does the mixture of rubber and sulphur form when they are heated?
When rubber and sulfur are heated together, they undergo a process called vulcanization. This process involves the formation of cross-links between the polymer chains in rubber, resulting in a stronger, more elastic material known as vulcanized rubber. This enhanced rubber has improved durability, heat resistance, and elasticity compared to untreated rubber.
How do you make rubber as a conductor?
Rubber is an insulator, not a conductor. To make rubber conductive, it can be mixed with a conductive material like carbon black or metal particles. This creates a composite material that allows the rubber to conduct electricity.
What kind of rubber to make elastic band?
Vulcanised rubber, which is also used in tyres. This rubber is mixed with sulphur compound to heighten strength and durability.
What chemical elements did Charles goodyear use to invent vulcanized rubber?
Sulphur. He discovered that mixing Sulphur with the rubber changed its properties.
What is for rubber for?
rubber is used for all sorts of things for example car tires,rubber gloves,rubber soles on shoes,condoms,water bottles,rubber bands,conveyor belts shock absorbers.rubber is often used as it is easy to shape and when mixed and heated with sulphur lasts for a good amount of time. This is called vulcanized rubber.
What is RUBBER used for?

How is rubber made tougher?
Vulcanisation- addition of sulphur
How do you separate sulphur?
Sulphur is a pure element. Unless its mixed in with something else there is nothing to separate it from.
What process involves treating rubber with sulphur to harden it?
Vulcanizing
What is the non metal used in vulcanisation of rubber?
Sulfur is the non metal used in the vulcanization of rubber. When heated with rubber, sulfur forms cross-links between the polymer chains, improving the rubber's strength, elasticity, and durability.
What are the similarities between glass and rubber?
Both glass & rubber are non-metals . Both get deformed on applying heat { flutuating temperatures }. Both are amorphous solid . Both are futile in pure form . So something is always added to both before using for commercial purposes ,for example, natural rubber is mixed with calculated amount of sulphur to get hardness in rubber [ hardness varies with amount of sulphur ] .This rubber is now called as Vulcanised Rubber.
What v can change the properteies of rubber?
Vulcanisation - adding sulphur and heat changes rubber - to make tyres for example
What element did Charles Goodyear mix with rubber to make it useful?
Sulphur
Is rat poison mixed with sulphur powder dangerous?
yes
