1-Naphthalenesulfonic acid(CAS: 85-47-2)

1-Naphthalenesulfonic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H7O3S. It is a white crystalline solid with a slight sulfuric odor. This compound is water-soluble and has acidic properties due to the presence of the sulfonic acid group.

1-Naphthalenesulfonic acid is primarily used as a sulfonation agent and an intermediate in the production of dyes and other organic compounds. It is also used in the textile industry for dyeing and in analytical chemistry as a reagent.

1-Naphthalenesulfonic acid is generally safe for industrial use when proper handling precautions are followed. It is slightly corrosive to metals and can cause skin irritation. Protective gloves and eyewear should be worn during handling. Storage and disposal should comply with local regulations and safety standards.

1-Naphthalenesulfonic acid should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid contact with incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and alkalis. Proper ventilation should be ensured to prevent the accumulation of flammable gases.
