Market Scope & Segmentation
Naphthalene derivatives are mainly manufactured from coal tar and petroleum by using destructive distillation or carbonization process. The compounds were initially obtained by using coal as the raw material, later due to scarcity of coal and with technology advancement petroleum was used as raw material for naphthalene derivatives production using the alkylation technique. Out of all naphthalene derivatives, the phthalic anhydride is widely used in construction, textile and other manufacturing industries. The variety in naphthalene derivative compounds with variable chemical and physical properties makes them suitable for various industrial applications.
