2-Naphthol Crystals CAS 135-19-3 is a widely used aromatic organic intermediate chemically defined as 2-hydroxynaphthalene , functioning primarily as a key precursor in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and rubber antioxidants. Also known as Beta-Naphthol or Isonaphthol, these white to slightly pink glossy flakes are utilized to manufacture Tobias Acid, J-Acid, and various azo dyes (such as Para Red and Sudan dyes). It also serves as a starting material for the fungicide 2-naphthoxyacetic acid and as an antioxidant stabilizer in polyolefins. We provide professional access to this material with competitive factory pricing and the ability to meet customized specifications (flakes or fused solid forms) for various manufacturing requirements. Our commitment to technical transparency ensures that every shipment is accompanied by comprehensive MSDS, TDS, COA documentation to support your quality assurance protocols, and we maintain capacity for consistent bulk supply to facilitate large-scale industrial operations.

Key Applications
Our 2-Naphthol Crystals are engineered for versatility across multiple high-value sectors:
1. Dyestuff & Pigment Industry This is the primary application. It is the precursor for Tobias Acid, J-Acid, and Gamma Acid. It serves as a coupling agent for azo dyes and is essential in producing pigments such as Lithol Red, Toluidine Red, and Sudan Red.
2. Rubber Industry Used extensively in the synthesis of rubber antioxidants, specifically PBN (Phenyl-beta-naphthylamine) and BN (Beta-naphthylamine), preventing aging and degradation in rubber products.
3. Pharmaceutical Intermediates Acts as a raw material for the synthesis of antiseptics, antifungal agents, and other pharmaceutical compounds.
4. Industrial & Agrochemicals Used in the production of tanning agents for leather, synthetic fragrances (such as methyl naphthyl ketone), and certain fungicides.
Quality Assurance (QA/QC)
We understand that consistency is critical for your production line. Our manufacturing facility operates under strict ISO 9001:2015 quality management systems.
- Advanced Testing: Every batch is tested using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC) to verify purity and identify trace impurities (such as 1-Naphthol isomers).
- Traceability: Full batch tracking is maintained from raw material input to final packaging. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) accompanies every shipment.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection: We support third-party inspections (SGS/BV/Intertek) at the buyer’s request to ensure transparency.
Storage, Handling & Safety
Storage Conditions
- Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
What is the primary industrial difference between 1-Naphthol and 2-Naphthol (CAS 135-19-3)?
A: The difference lies in the position of the hydroxyl group on the naphthalene ring. 2-Naphthol (Beta-Naphthol) is significantly more stable and is produced in much larger quantities primarily for the dye and pigment industry (e.g., for making Lithol Rubine). 1-Naphthol (Alpha-Naphthol) is more reactive and is typically used for agrochemicals (like Carbaryl) and pharmaceuticals. -
Q:
Does this material sublime at high temperatures?
A: Yes. 2-Naphthol has a tendency to sublime when heated, which can create respiratory hazards in open processing environments. Industrial handling protocols usually require sealed reactor systems or efficient local exhaust ventilation to manage vapors during high-temperature synthesis steps.
