DAB-grade DL-Camphor is racemic synthetic camphor complying with German Pharmacopoeia requirements. Available in DAB-6, DAB-8 and DAB-10 variants. White volatile crystalline solid with typical camphor aroma, applied for German‑market pharmaceutical topical preparations and cosmetic raw materials.
- DAB-6: older standard, wider rotation tolerance, mainly for general pharmaceutical & technical use
- DAB-8: widely‑traded commercial DAB grade for EU pharma export
- DAB-10: strictest DAB version, tight optical rotation, close to EP requirement
Application & Use
Daily‑chemical & insect repellent: moth‑proof agent, anti‑mould raw material
Pharmaceutical raw material: external ointments, liniment formulations
Fine chemical intermediate: synthesis of borneol and other terpenoid derivatives
Cosmetic raw material: topical cooling‑effect cosmetic formulations
Industrial use: plasticizer for celluloid products
Packing, Delivery & Storage
Packing: 25 kg fiber drum or carton; small sizes 1 kg /5 kg available
Transport: UN2717, Class 4.1 flammable solid. Keep away from open flame, heat and strong oxidants.
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well‑ventilated warehouse. Keep container tightly sealed. Avoid high temperature and direct sunlight.
Shelf‑life: 24 months under proper storage.
