sulfurized
Infused with brimstone
Sulfurized means treated or combined with sulfur.
The term appears most often in industrial and chemical contexts: sulfurized oils serve as lubricant additives, sulfurized rubber gains durability through vulcanization.
The sulfurized compound resisted corrosion better than the untreated version.
