About Naphthalene
Naphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon primarily derived from coal tar and crude oil distillation. It serves as a precursor for phthalic anhydride production, mothballs, and various specialty chemicals. Internationally traded grades include crude naphthalene (70-80% purity) and refined naphthalene (99%+ purity), with the latter commanding premium pricing. Major production centers are located in China, India, and Eastern Europe, which collectively dominate global export markets. Buyers should verify the sulfur content and PAH composition, as these directly impact downstream applications and compliance with environmental regulations in destination markets.
