Abstract
Abstract Pelleted sulfur compositions consisting essentially of particles of sulfur which include a substantial proportion of carbon-disulfide-insoluble sulfur particles together with a binder consisting essentially of a plasticizing or softening oil containing an anionic or nonionic surfactant in an amount equivalent to between 0.5 and 10% of the weight of the pelleted composition, the pelleted composition containing an amount of the plasticizing oil equivalent to between 10 and 60% of its weight. The pelleted composition is free-flowing, storable, and disperses homogeneously when distributed in rubber mixtures by milling on heated compounding rolls.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A pelleted sulfur composition consisting essentially of particles of sulfur which include a substantial proportion of carbon-disulfide-insoluble sulfur particles together with a binder consisting essentially of a rubber plasticizing oil containing an amount equivalent to between 0.5 and 10% of the weight of the pelleted composition of an anionic or nonionic surfactant, the amount of the plasticizing oil being equivalent to between 10 and 60% by weight of the pelleted composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
A pelleted sulfur composition consisting essentially of particles of sulfur which include a substantial proportion of carbon-disulfide-insoluble sulfur particles together with a binder consisting essentially of a rubber plasticizing oil containing an amount equivalent to between 0.5 and 10% of the weight of the pelleted composition of an anionic or nonionic surfactant, the amount of the plasticizing oil being equivalent to between 10 and 60% by weight of the pelleted composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A pelleted sulfur composition as defined in claim 1 in which the surfactant is an anionic surfactant of the group consisting of alkylarylsulfonates and fatty acid sulfonates and their water-soluble salts.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
61 words
A pelleted sulfur composition as defined in claim 1 in which the amount of the binder in percent by weight of the composition is slightly less than one-half the oil-absorption number of the sulfur particles in the composition, the said oil-absorption number being the amount of the oil binder in milliliters that is absorbed by 100 grams of the sulfur particles.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A pelleted sulfur composition as defined in claim 1 in which at least 30% by weight of the sulfur particles are carbon-disulfide-insoluble sulfur particles.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
A pelleted sulfur composition as defined in claim 1 in which at least 90% by weight of the sulfur particles are carbon-disulfide-insoluble sulfur particles.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A pelleted sulfur composition as defined in claim 1 in which the plasticizing oil is a process oil that is adapted for plasticizing rubber.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
A pelleted sulfur composition as defined in claim 1 in which the plasticizing oil is a naphthene-base petroleum oil.
