NAPHTHALENE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Naphthalene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C10H8, commonly used as a moth repellent and in the production of dyes, resins, and pharmaceuticals. It is also employed as a precursor in the synthesis of various organic compounds. Naphthalene's volatility and distinctive odor make it effective for use in mothballs and other pest control products. Proper handling and storage of naphthalene are essential to prevent exposure and contamination. Safety measures should include the use of personal protective equipment, proper ventilation, and adherence to manufacturer guidelines. Regular monitoring and maintenance of processes using naphthalene ensure optimal performance and safety, making it a valuable chemical in the pest control, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
