Sulphur Granules
Sulphur Granules, also known as Brimstone, are a vital industrial commodity produced primarily as a byproduct of natural gas and petroleum refining (Claus process). Moonarc Chemicals supplies high-purity, bright yellow granules designed for ease of handling and minimal dust generation. Sulphur is a fundamental building block in the chemical industry, primarily used for the production of sulfuric acid, which is then utilized in the manufacturing of fertilizers, detergents, and lead-acid batteries. Our granular sulphur is characterized by its high elemental purity, low moisture content, and absence of organic impurities, making it suitable for sensitive industrial catalytic processes.
