Synthetic Camphor
Natural camphor is found in many essential oils, especially camphor oil. It is a white crystalline powder with a unique camphor scent and a hint of mint odor.
Synthetic Camphor is prepared by using alpha-Pinene as raw material, then esterify converted camphene into L-bornyl acetate, next to saponification the L-bornyl acetate into DL-Isoborneol, and finally oxidate the DL-Isoborneol.
Synthetic Camphor is used extensively in many fields, especially in the manufacturing, medicine and cosmetics industries.
