Overview of Naphthalene

Naphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon best known for its use in mothballs and air fresheners. This volatile white crystalline compound has a strong, distinctive odor and is derived primarily from coal tar or petroleum. Due to its chemical structure, it is extensively used in the production of dyes, resins, and organic intermediates. Naphthalene’s high sublimation rate and pesticidal properties make it particularly valuable in pest control products.

 

Applications of Naphthalene

  • Pesticide Industry: Commonly used in mothballs and insect repellents for fabric and stored goods.
  • Chemical Manufacturing: Acts as a precursor in the synthesis of phthalic anhydride and other organic compounds.
  • Dye Industry: Used in the creation of azo dyes and naphthol-based intermediates.
  • Resins and Plastics: Plays a role in the manufacture of certain resins and plasticizers.
  • Naphthalene and Quetiapine Fumarate: Naphthalene-based compounds could be incorporated into quetiapine fumarate formulations to enhance its release profile or improve its solubility for better absorption in the body, especially in extended-release versions.

 

Safety Precautions When Handling Naphthalene

  • Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location, away from heat and ignition sources.
  • Protective Measures: Use protective gloves, goggles, and clothing to avoid contact with skin and eyes.
  • Handling: Avoid breathing dust or vapors; use appropriate ventilation and avoid long-term exposure.
