Pharmaceuticals Daily Chemicals Industry Laboratory
Camphor Synthetic (CAS 76-22-2) is a bicyclic monoterpenone compound chemically synthesized from pinene derived from turpentine.
It appears as colorless to white translucent crystalline powder or lumps, with a penetrating, characteristic camphorwood odor.
As a high-quality substitute for natural camphor, synthetic camphor has multiple functions including antiseptic, analgesic, antipruritic, penetration-enhancing and plasticizing effects.
It is widely used in pharmaceutical preparations (topical analgesic ointments, antitussive liniments), daily chemical products (moth repellents, fragrances), and industrial applications (celluloid plasticizer, paints, fireworks).
As a professional source manufacturer, we provide high-purity synthetic camphor and support stable bulk supply for global customers.

Key Application
1. Pharmaceutical & Healthcare Products
Synthetic camphor is a classic active ingredient for topical pharmaceutical use.
Analgesic & antipruritic: Widely used in muscle pain creams, antipruritic creams, essential balm, and cooling oils. It stimulates cold receptors to produce a cooling sensation, relieving pain and itching.
Antitussive & expectorant: Used as an active ingredient in cough liniments and vapor inhalants to relieve bronchitis and cough.
Penetration enhancer: Its lipophilic property helps other active ingredients penetrate the skin stratum corneum.
Notes: Toxic if swallowed. For external use only. According to FDA regulations, camphor content in pharmaceutical products shall not exceed 11%.
2. Daily Chemicals & Fragrances
Moth & insect repellent: Used as the active ingredient in mothballs to protect clothes and books from moths and mildew.
Fragrance fixative: Used in perfumes, air fresheners, and personal care products to provide a fresh herbal note.
Antiseptic & plasticizer: Used in small amounts as a preservative and plasticizer in cosmetics.
3. Industrial Plastics & Chemicals
Celluloid plasticizer: An essential plasticizer for producing celluloid (nitrocellulose plastics), improving flexibility and processability.
Chemical intermediate: A key raw material for manufacturing fine chemicals such as camphorsulfonic acid and isobornyl acetate.
Other industrial uses: Applied in the production of paints, varnishes, fireworks, explosives and pyrotechnics.
4. Laboratory & Research Applications
Organic synthesis: Used as a reference standard or starting material for the synthesis of complex molecules.
