Ligz Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 How are napthalene balls made? What is it made of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I`m not 100% sure how they are made, I know the blocks are simply cast as napthalene has a low melting point (about 80c), as for the balls I think they are made in a rotating drum, and as they tumble a spray of molten napthalene is deposited on their surface and gradualy builds them up in size. as for what they`re made of well, Napthalene seriously, that`s the proper name of the chemical, it`s 2 fused benzene rings.
