Refined Naphthalene

According to the national standard "GB/T 6699-1998", refined naphthalene is classified into premium grade, first grade, and qualified grade. The main indicators are as follows:

| Item         | Premium Grade | First Grade | Qualified Grade | |--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|

| Appearance | White flaky crystals | Slightly pinkish white | Slightly yellowish white crystals |

| Purity (%) | ≥99.3 | ≥98.95 | ≥98.5 |

| Melting point (℃) | ≥79.8 | ≥79.5 | ≥79.3 |

| Ash content (%) | ≤0.006 | ≤0.008 | ≤0.01 |

## **Application Areas**

1. **Dyes and Intermediates**

- Used in the synthesis of dye intermediates such as 2-naphthol, 1-naphthol, and methylnaphthylamine.

2. **Pharmaceuticals and Pesticides**

- Serves as a raw material for the synthesis of antibiotics, insecticides, and camphor.

3. **Synthetic Materials**

- Involved in the production of phthalic anhydride (PA), plasticizers, rubber antioxidants, and naphthalene-based water reducers.

4. **Other Uses**

- Wood preservatives, moth repellents (such as mothballs), and surfactants.

## **Packaging and Storage**

- **Packaging Specifications**: 25kg/bag or 50kg/bag (lined with polyethylene bags and covered with woven bags), liquid products can be transported by tank trucks.

- **Storage Conditions**: Cool and well-ventilated place, away from fire sources and strong oxidants (such as potassium permanganate), avoid direct sunlight.

- **Shelf Life**: 36 months (unopened).

## **Safety and Environmental Protection**

1. **Health Risks**

- Inhaling high concentrations of naphthalene vapor can cause headaches and nausea. Long-term exposure may damage liver and kidney functions.

2. **Leakage Handling**

- Use explosion-proof tools to collect the leaked material, avoid creating dust, and isolate and ventilate the contaminated area.

3. **Firefighting Measures**

- Carbon dioxide or water in a fine spray are recommended as extinguishing agents. Do not directly aim at molten material to prevent splashing.
