Naphthalene Powder Extra Pure
Naphthalene Powder Extra Pure is a fine, white to pale crystalline powder composed of high-purity naphthalene (C₁₀H₈), valued for its consistent quality and volatile aromatic properties. This form is particularly suitable for laboratory use, where controlled dosing and faster sublimation are required. The powder is widely utilized in organic synthesis, standardization experiments, and melting point calibration, owing to its stable molecular structure and high sublimation rate.
In industrial and technical contexts, naphthalene powder serves as a precursor in dye manufacturing, plasticizer production, and pesticide formulation. It is also used as a fumigant for controlling pests in storage environments, similar to its use in ball form, but with faster release due to the increased surface area. Despite its utility, the powder must be handled with care—used in well-ventilated areas, kept away from ignition sources, and stored in sealed containers—due to its flammability and potential health effects from prolonged inhalation.
