Granular and powder sulfur from Iran, for buyers worldwide

Katazo Trade sources high-purity sulfur from Iran's gas and oil refineries and supplies it to fertilizer, chemical, mining and agricultural companies abroad. Tell us your specification and volume, and we will match it to an available lot.

  • Typical purity 99.5%+
  • Bulk, jumbo bags or 25/50 kg bags
  • Analysis shared for every lot

Sulfur products we export

Both grades come from sulfur recovered during the refining of natural gas and crude oil in Iran. That origin gives a consistent, high-purity product with low ash and moisture.

Granular sulfur

Sulfur formed into hard, free-flowing granules, typically 2–6 mm. It produces little dust, stores well and handles easily in bulk. This is the standard grade for sulfuric acid plants and fertilizer production.

Main applications

  • Sulfuric acid production
  • Phosphate and sulfur-enhanced fertilizers
  • Copper and nickel ore leaching
  • Petrochemical and chemical processing

Packing options

  • Bulk vessel
  • 1-ton jumbo bags
  • 25 / 50 kg bags
  • Containers

Sulfur powder

Finely ground sulfur, milled to the mesh size your process needs, typically from 80 to 325 mesh. Use it where sulfur has to disperse evenly or react quickly.

Main applications

  • Agricultural fungicide and soil conditioning
  • Rubber vulcanization
  • Dyes, matches and pharmaceuticals
  • Chemical manufacturing

Packing options

  • 25 / 50 kg bags
  • Jumbo bags
  • Containers

Typical specifications

These are reference values for the sulfur we usually supply. Your contract is based on the analysis of the actual lot.

Each lot has its own analysis

We source sulfur from several refineries and producers across Iran, so analyses vary from source to source. When you send an inquiry, we match your required specification to the stock available at that time and share the certificate of analysis for the lot we offer.

Iran, the sulfur hub of the Middle East

Iran refines natural gas from South Pars, the world's largest gas field, along with crude oil at refineries across the country. Sulfur recovered from that sour gas and oil is a steady, high-purity by-product, which makes Iran one of the leading sulfur exporters in the world.

  • Recovered from gas and oil refining, for consistent quality
  • Competitive pricing compared with other Middle East origins
  • Sea access through the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman
  • Short shipping routes to South Asia, East Africa and China
