Naphthalene
chemical
formula: C10H8
( flakes )
Naphthalene is primarily used
as a chemical intermediate to produce other chemicals. The largest uses
are in the manufacture of Antiseptics. Naphthalene sublimes (converts
directly to a vapor) at room temperature. A novel product made with
Naphthalene is Rattlesnake repellant. It consists of a mixture of
Naphthalene and Sulfur which according to the manufacturers, throws the
nervous system in snakes into a frenzy - doing whatever they can to avoid
the area where the material is applied.
