==Description==
White crystalline, volatile flakes with strong [[coal]]-tar odor.<br><br>
 
A petroleum product which gives off an unpleasant camphoric scent and may release inflammable gases. Above 80°C explosive vapor-air mixture (0.9-5.9%) may be formed. Insoluble in water.<br><br>
 
Produced as crystals, flakes, powder, or as liquid, the dust clouds from naphthalene may cause explosions. Stowage must be away from odor-sensitive goods, like coffee, foodstuffs and allied products. Good packaging  is essential to container cargo vapor (if heated) which can attack the interior paintwork of containers. Hermetically sealed drums are considered to be the best option.<br>
 
[[Contact]] with anything liable to sparks must be avoided.
