White or light-yellow crystals, relative density is 1.32-1.38. Soluble in alchohol, acetone, benzene, ethlene dichloride, insoluble in water and fatty hydrocarbon.

It is used as the rubber accelerator and vulcanized agent of natural rubber, synthetic rubber. Under the curing temperature, it can release activing sulfur, effective sulfur content is about 27%. It has operating safety, curing speed is slow when it is used alone. The curing speed can be arised when used with thiazole, thiuram, thiocarbamate. There are many advantages, such as, no-spray, no-pollution, no-discolor, easy to disperse. It is especially suitable to butadiene rubber. Mainly it is used to manufacture tyres, inner tube, rubber beltl, heat-resistance rubber products, etc..
