Camphor synthetic Safety Information

Camphor synthetic Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties	Camphor is a colorless glassy solid. Penetrating, characteristic odor.
Physical properties	Colorless to white, flammable granules, crystals or waxy semi-solid with a strong, penetrating, fragrant or aromatic odor. Odor threshold concentration is 0.27 ppm (quoted, Amoore and Hautala, 1983).
Uses	dl-Camphor is used as a plasticizer for celluloseesters and ethers; in the manufacture ofplastics and cymene; in cosmetics, lacquers,medicine, explosives, and pyrotechnics; andas a moth repellent.
Definition	A ketone occurring naturally in the wood of the cam- phor tree (Cinnamomum camphora).
