NAPHTHALISE Meaning and Definition

1. Naphthalise is a verb that is derived from the term "naphthalene", a white crystalline compound commonly found in coal tar and used in the manufacturing of various chemical products. When a substance is naphthalised, it means that it has undergone a process where naphthalene is introduced or incorporated into it.

   The process of naphthalisation involves treating a material or substance with naphthalene in order to impart certain properties or characteristics. This can be achieved through various methods such as direct mixing or impregnation. Naphthalising a substance often results in enhancing its resistance against moisture, fungal growth, and insect damage. Additionally, it can impart a degree of fire retardancy to the treated material.

   The naphthalisation process finds applications in different industries and sectors. For example, in the textile industry, fabrics may be naphthalised to improve their durability, resist staining, or provide anti-static properties. Wood and paper products may also be naphthalised to increase their resistance against decay, pests, and moisture. Furthermore, naphthalisation is utilized in the production of certain types of paints, coatings, and sealants to enhance their protective properties.

   It is important to note that naphthalisation should be performed with caution, as excessive exposure to naphthalene can pose health risks. Therefore, appropriate safety measures and guidelines need to be followed during the naphthalisation process to minimize any potential hazards.
