Sulfur is recovered during gas manufacturing as a molten sulfur. It is then cooled on a stainless steel belt and forms into a flake form. This is the exact flake form in which we sell. Ground sulfur powder is these flakes being ground up in a mill to make the powder form. Both sulfurs are quite pure and are EPA recognized as ok for Animal Feed / consumption.

Sublimed sulfur is recovered from the same manufacturing process, except it is precipitated from the gas in a vapor state rather than through the molten method. This is guaranteed to be safe for human consumption and is considered to be USP grade. USP grade sulfur is no longer produced in the united states and is mostly unavailable. This is due to low demand for human consumption and also the fact that sublimed sulfer is actually no purer than the sulfur we carry. The only different is it is not officially USP grade (for human consumption).

Sulfur powder has a low flammability rating. When burned, it creates sulfur dioxide, a poisonous gas which can kill you and also cause many health hazards if burned in large quantities (acid rain is one of them) In the old days, people used to burn sulfur powder to remove pests and clean out fields. This is not really done anymore and it is strongly recommended to not burn it anywhere near where people live because of the health hazard. In the case of the burning application being necessary, note that pure solid sulfur powder does not burn easily because it requires a lot of oxygen to get that blue flame everyone is looking for. Old time sulfurs which were meant for burning contained oxides mixed in with it to help it burn. The only way to make it burn well is to blast sulfur dust into the air, which is much more flammable because of the better contact with oxygen, or to mix a light amount of oxidizer. We do not recommend burning sulfur powder and are not responsible for any damages to anything or anyone by doing so.
