What are the uses, and common names for Napathalene?
Common names:


naphthalin, naphthaline, tar camphor, white tar, albocarbon, or naphthene





Uses:


Naphthalene's most familiar use is as a household fumigant, such as in mothballs. In a sealed container containing naphthalene pellets, naphthalene vapors build up to levels toxic to both the adult and larval forms of many moths that are destructive to textiles. Other fumigant uses of naphthalene include use in soil as a fumigant pesticide, and in attic spaces to repel animals.





In the past, naphthalene was administered orally to kill parasitic worms in livestock.





Larger volumes of naphthalene are used as a chemical intermediate to produce other chemicals. The single largest use of naphthalene is the industrial production of phthalic anhydride, although more phthalic anhydride is made from o-xylene than from naphthalene. Other naphthalene-derived chemicals include alkyl naphthalene sulfonate surfactants, and the insecticide carbaryl. Naphthalenes substituted with combinations of strongly electron-donating functional groups, such as alcohols and amines, and strongly electron-withdrawing groups, especially sulfonic acids, are intermediates in the preparation of many synthetic dyes. The hydrogenated naphthalenes tetrahydronaphthalene (Tetralin) and decahydronaphthalene (Decalin) are used as low-volatility solvents.
Reply:that is moth balls to prevent moths eating clothing
Reply:Naphthalene is not the same as naptha. Naptha is a common term for the volatile fraction when crude oil or coal tar is distilled. Naphthalene is a single chemical structure that was once used in moth balls, and never as a common solvent or lighter fuel. It is a white, crystalline solid that sublimes at room temperature and worked well as a long-lasting fumigant. It has been replaced in household use because of human toxicity issues - it can be pretty rough on red blood cells.





You can check Wikipedia for more details and, as you will see in subsequent posts here, other people will copy and paste portions of the Wikipedia article to look like they know what they are talking about. That tells us that Wikipedia is a very good source.
Reply:lighter fluid (the stuff for zippos) and Mothballs are the ones i know of,
Reply:Naphthalene is a component of gasoline and other fuels. Also called Naphtha.
Reply:Napatha gas is a product that was used in camping pressure stoves and lights. It has pretty well been taken over by LP gas these days. It is a re-refined petroleum product that is very pure and burns clean.
