d-camphor Molecular Formula: C10H16O Molecular Weight: 152.24 CAS.: 464-49-3 Assay: 99% Appearance: white crystalline powder Uses: Modern uses include camphor as a plasticizer for nitrocellulose, as a moth repellent, as an antimicrobial substance, in embalming, and in fireworks.

Solid camphor releases fumes that form a rust-preventative coating and is therefore stored in tool chests to protect tools against rust. Camphor crystals are also used to prevent damage to insect collections by other small insects. Some folk remedies state that camphor will deter snakes and other reptiles due to its strong odor.

Similarly, camphor is believed to be toxic to insects and is thus sometimes used as a repellent. Packaging: 25kg/case
