Solution

A non-metal used in the vulcanization of rubber is Sulphur.
Natural rubber is weak, less elastic, and becomes sticky to the action of heat.
To enhance the properties of rubber, it is vulcanized.
The process of treating rubber with Sulphur to improve elasticity and strength or to harden it is called vulcanization of rubber.
