Sulfur's atomic number is 16 and its symbol is S. Elemental sulfur is a nonmetal brittle crystal that is solid at room temperature. Sulfur is an essential element for all forms of life usually in the form of amino acids, keratin, biotin, and thiamine. Sulfur has been known since ancient times and is referred to in early literature as “brimstone” because of the distinctive rancid smell that is produced when lightning strikes a rock and vaporizes the sulfur present in the rock. When sulfur is burned it melts into a blood-red liquid and emits a blue flame. Elemental sulfur can be found near hot springs and volcanoes. Most of the sulfur that is currently being mined comes from areas of the world that are along the Pacific Ring of Fire such as Indonesia, Chile, and Japan. Elemental sulfur is used in black gunpowder, matches, and fireworks; in the vulcanization of rubber; as a fungicide, insecticide, and fumigant; in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers; and in the treatment of certain skin diseases.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.

Care Instructions

Wash with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean, soft cloth, or sponge. Rinse and blot dry with a damp cloth or chamois.

*Never use abrasive cleaners, household cleaners, window-cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths, or strong solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc.*

To maintain the brilliant luster of acrylic, wax and occasionally with a quality grade of automobile paste wax (NOT A CLEANER WAX COMBINATION.) Apply a thin coat with a clean, cotton flannel cloth. Then wipe with a clean damp cloth. NEVER USE HOUSEHOLD SPRAY WAXES.

Proudly made in the U.S.A.

Simply perfect!

The item I received from engineered labs, was better than I expected. This is a birthday gift for my boyfriend who is a PhD chemistry student, so I just know he’s going to love it! The shipment was nice and smooth with no worries at all, I can’t put into words how happy and excited I am about this gift it is honestly perfect! Thank you SO much Engineered Labs, I love your videos on TikTok and I am so happy to have found your page! 🤩. I wish I had taken a picture to show how amazing the item is, but unfortunately I left it at my parents house for safety. Highly recommend though!
