Procurement specification and compliance grid
Values shown are procurement reference points, not a substitute for the contracted producer specification, current SDS or batch CoA.
| IUPAC Name / Chemical Formula | Sulfur — S / commonly S₈ allotrope |
|---|---|
| CAS Registry Number | 7704-34-9 |
| Purity | Typical commercial granular sulphur 99.5% min; producer CoA governs ash, acidity, moisture and carbon |
| Physical Form | Granular, prilled, pastille, lump or molten sulfur depending supply route |
| Density & Melting Point | True density about 2.0–2.1 g/cm³; melting point about 115°C |
| UN Hazard Class / Packing Group | Solid sulfur commonly UN 1350, Class 4.1, Packing Group III where regulated; molten sulfur uses separate transport classification |
| Packaging Type | Bulk vessel / truck, 25–50 kg bags, 1.0–1.5 MT jumbo bags; heated tank for molten grade |
Technical application & industrial end-uses
Application context for procurement and compliance teams
Sulphur is structured for institutional procurement where specification control, batch traceability, safety documentation and logistics discipline are as important as commercial price. The material is commonly evaluated for elemental sulphur for sulfuric acid manufacture, fertilizer chains, mining reagents, rubber processing and other controlled industrial chemical operations. Procurement teams should define the target grade, required purity or performance class, total metric tonnage or liquid volume, loading mode, destination country, discharge port and required delivery window before commercial comparison. For buyers searching for high-purity bulk industrial sulphur with GHS and shipment documentation, AL BASAM coordinates sourcing against producer documentation, current SDS/MSDS, Certificate of Analysis and shipment-specific quality evidence rather than generic catalogue claims. Where dangerous-goods or heated-product controls apply, the transport classification, tank suitability, vessel acceptance, temperature limits, contamination controls and port rules are reviewed before shipment planning. Commercial terms may be structured around FOB, CFR, CIF or another agreed Incoterm, subject to origin and logistics feasibility. Final acceptance always follows the signed contract, approved technical specification, producer CoA, inspection scope and destination regulatory requirements.
Legal, safety & quality documentation
Shipment documentation suite
The exact document set is fixed in the commercial contract and inspection plan. The institutional shipment file may include:
- Current Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS) aligned with GHS classification and destination-language requirements where applicable.
- Independent third-party laboratory / inspection certificate from SGS, Saybolt, Intertek or another mutually agreed inspector when contracted.
- Producer / refinery / chemical-plant Certificate of Analysis (CoA) traceable to the supplied batch, tank, lot or cargo.
- Certificate of Origin plus commercial invoice, packing / quantity documents and certified Bill of Lading or transport document.
- Tanker / vessel / ISO-tank cleanliness or previous-cargo evidence when the product and loading mode require contamination control.
- Trade-control, sanctions-screening, customs and destination compliance documents required by the transaction and applicable law.
