Market Overview and Forecast, 2021- Hexa Research
" The key driving factors attributing to the growth of global
naphthalene market includes rise in standards of living,
rapid urbanization and extensive R&D activities."
Naphthalene is obtained from crude oil or coal tar and is a bicyclic aromatic compound which is in white
crystalline form with properties such as colorlessness and low solubility in liquids like water. In chemical
industry, naphthalene is particularly obtained from coal tar as well as from petroleum pyrolysis. In terms of
chemistry, naphthalene is an organic compound and is a simple polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. Being an
aromatic hydrocarbon, naphthalene’s structure comprises a combined pair of benzene ring sharing two
carbon atoms in the ortho position. Therefore, naphthalene can be determined as a combined pair of
benzene rings.
The production process of naphthalene involves distillation. Once the coal tar distillates it yields and oil that
contains 50% naphthalene along with other major aromatic compounds. The oil is washed with aqueous
sodium hydroxide to eliminate acidic components and with sulfuric acid to eliminate basic components which
later on gives fractional distillation to give naphthalene.
Uses of naphthalene include medication owing to non-toxic nature and presence of nutritive ingredients. It is
used as a remedy against skin rashes, burns, sores and cuts and is also used as a laxative. It is used in tobacco
humectants, cosmetics and personal beauty products. Further, the uses get extend to applications like
creams, hair care products, sugar free gums, mouthwashes, toothpastes owing to its hygroscopic nature.
