Refined Naphthalene
Refined Naphthalene is a white, crystalline organic compound derived from coal tar or petroleum streams. As the simplest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), it serves as a critical intermediate in the global chemical industry. Moonarc Chemicals provides Refined Naphthalene characterized by its high assay and low levels of non-volatile matter, ensuring it meets the rigorous demands of Phthalic Anhydride producers and the construction chemical sector. Our product is manufactured using advanced crystallization and distillation techniques to achieve a purity profile that minimizes secondary reactions and maximizes efficiency in downstream synthesis.
Applications
- Precursor to Phthalic Anhydride for plasticizers and alkyd resins.
- Intermediate in the synthesis of Naphthalene Sulfonates (superplasticizers) for concrete.
- Raw material for synthetic tanning agents (Syntans) in the leather industry.
- Used in the production of azo dyes and 1-Naphthol.
- Industrial fumigant and pesticide (moth repellent).
- Ingredient in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical intermediates and fragrance compounds.
