Beta Naphthol
Rs 165 per Kg + GSt as applicable
Category:
Aromatic Compound / Dye Intermediate / Chemical Intermediate
Description:
Beta Naphthol (2-Naphthol) is a white to light brown crystalline solid with a slightly phenolic odor. It is one of the two isomeric naphthols derived from naphthalene, and is widely used as an intermediate in the manufacture of dyes, pigments, antioxidants, and rubber chemicals. It exhibits strong reactivity toward electrophilic substitution and is a valuable coupling component in the synthesis of azo dyes. Beta Naphthol is also used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty organic synthesis.
Applications:
1. Dye & Pigment Industry Key intermediate and coupling agent in the production of azo dyes and pigments. Used to manufacture Beta Naphthol Orange, Beta Naphthol Red, and related colorants.
2. Rubber & Plastic Industry Used as a stabilizer and antioxidant in rubber compounding and plastic formulations.
3. Pharmaceutical Industry Intermediate in the production of antiseptics and antiseptic agents such as naphthols and phenolic derivatives.
4. Agrochemicals Intermediate in the manufacture of fungicides, insecticides, and herbicidal compounds.
5. Organic Synthesis Used as a reagent and starting material for various aromatic substitution and condensation reactions.
