Sulfur (Powder)
Sulfur (Powder) (Product Code: SCI-694/305) is an analytical reagent grade yellow non-metal powder used to study the properties, allotropes and compounds of sulfur in school and college chemistry laboratories. It comes in a 100 g pack with its MSDS, a convenient size for class demonstrations of melting, burning and combining with metals. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier for schools and colleges.

What Is Sulfur Powder Used For?
Sulfur powder is the classic starting material for the iron and sulfur experiment, in which students compare a mixture of the two elements, still separable with a magnet, with the black iron sulfide compound formed on heating. Gently melting the powder shows its changes of colour and runniness, and pouring the hot melt into cold water gives rubbery plastic sulfur, one of its allotropic forms. It is a standard entry on school chemistry lab equipment lists in India for these element-and-compound practicals.
Burning a small amount in a deflagrating spoon inside a gas jar gives a blue flame and sulfur dioxide, which dissolves in water to form an acidic solution, so this demonstration belongs in a fume cupboard. Sulfur also dissolves in carbon disulfide, and rhombic crystals appear as the solvent evaporates. Keep the powder away from flames and oxidising agents, because it is a flammable solid.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of 100 g packs each laboratory needs.
- The practicals you plan (iron and sulfur, plastic sulfur, combustion), so companion reagents and apparatus can be quoted.
- Companion items such as iron powder, a magnet or carbon sulfide for the same enquiry.
Supplier
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies Sulfur (Powder) from Ambala for chemistry classrooms and sends each 100 g pack with its MSDS. Teachers and purchasing officers can bundle it with iron powder, burners and glassware on one quotation, while dealers and importers in India and international markets can order it as part of a wider reagent list. See the company profile for more about ScienceLab.

- Horseshoe-Shaped Magnets — pull the iron out of the mixture before it is heated.
- Iron Sulfide — a reference sample of the compound the reaction produces.
- Carbon Sulfide — the solvent in which sulfur dissolves for recrystallisation.
- Bek Bunsen — a gas burner for melting and burning the powder.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sulfur (Powder) used for in school practicals?
Sulfur (Powder) SCI-694/305 is used for the iron and sulfur mixture-versus-compound practical, for making plastic sulfur by pouring the melt into water, and for burning demonstrations that produce acidic sulfur dioxide. Each 100 g pack of analytical reagent comes with its MSDS.
How is the iron and sulfur experiment done with Sulfur (Powder)?
Mix Sulfur (Powder) with iron powder and show that a magnet still separates the iron, then heat a portion in a test tube until the mixture glows and reacts to form iron sulfide. The magnet no longer separates the product, showing that a new compound has formed; heat in a ventilated area.
Is Sulfur (Powder) flammable?
Yes. Sulfur (Powder) is a flammable solid that burns with a blue flame and gives off sulfur dioxide, an irritating gas. Keep the SCI-694/305 pack away from flames and oxidising agents, and carry out burning demonstrations in a fume cupboard or a well-ventilated room.
How should Sulfur (Powder) be stored?
Keep Sulfur (Powder) SCI-694/305 in its closed container in a cool, dry place, away from oxidisers and sources of ignition. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Who supplies Sulfur (Powder) SCI-694/305?
Sulfur (Powder) SCI-694/305 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources this analytical reagent and provides it with its MSDS to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
What does a Sulfur (Powder) quotation need?
A Sulfur (Powder) quotation needs the product code SCI-694/305, the number of 100 g packs and your delivery location, plus any iron powder or apparatus for the same practical. Send the list through the contact page or the enquiry cart and we will reply.
