Camphor Tablet is a crystalline substance with a strong scent and is used in various industrial sectors. It is widely used for its therapeutic properties, such as in topical treatments for muscle pain, as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic agent. It is commonly used in topical treatments for muscle pain and other related discomforts. Camphor possesses antiseptic and antipruritic (anti-itch) properties, making it useful in treating certain bacterial infections and relieving itching in conditions like dermatitis. It is a common ingredient in ointments and gels designed to alleviate muscle pain, headaches, and respiratory issues. The cooling sensation it provides can ease breathing difficulties associated with the common cold. It exhibits analgesic (pain-relieving) and anti-inflammatory effects. Due to its anti-infective properties, camphor is incorporated into various pharmaceutical products. It also finds its application in agriculture and household applications to kill insects and moths.

The demand for camphor tablets is predominantly driven by their application as an analgesic for the treatment of muscle pain in the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Its application as an anti-inflammatory agent in the production of ointments and gels to alleviate skin issues further boosts its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Its utilization as a moth repellent in agriculture and household applications further enhances its demand in the household and agriculture sectors. Additionally, industrial camphor tablet procurement is primarily affected by the growing use of camphor in over-the-counter products for pain relief and respiratory issues. The antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties of camphor make it a crucial ingredient in various medicinal products, which further promotes its market. The rise in health awareness and the growing medical sector also impacts its procurement.

Raw Material for Camphor Tablet Production

According to the Camphor Tablet manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Camphor Tablet production include Scrap Iron/Iron Oxide-Nitric Acid.

Manufacturing Process of Camphor Tablet

The extensive Camphor Tablet production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing processes:

1. Production from Turpentine Oil: This method of production involves the use of turpentine oil as a key starting material for the synthesis of camphor tablets. The synthesis begins with the reaction of turpentine oil with hydrochloric acid to form bornyl chloride. Further, the obtained bornyl chloride is heated with sodium acetate to obtain isobornyl acetate, followed by its hydrolysis to form isoborneol. Then, the obtained isoborneol undergoes oxidation, followed by pressing to obtain a camphor tablet as the final product.
2. Production via Steam Distillation: In this method, a camphor tablet is produced by the process of steam distillation of the camphor wood. The process starts with cutting the wood from the camphor tree into small chips, which further undergoes steam distillation, which produces camphor. Then, the obtained camphor is further pressed into tablet form to obtain camphor tablets as the desired product.

Camphor is a white crystalline substance known for its strong, aromatic odor. It is combustible and has a waxy, semi-transparent appearance. The molecular formula of the compound is C10H16O, and its molecular mass is around 152.23 g/mol. Camphor is available in two varieties: natural and synthetic. The melting and boiling point of the compound is 180 °C and 204 °C, respectively.

Natural camphor is obtained through the steam distillation of the wood of the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora), while synthetic camphor is produced from turpentine oil. The density of the compound is 0.99 g/cm3, and its flash point and autoignition temperature are around 66 °C and 466 °C, respectively. Camphor is also notable for its ability to easily undergo sublimation, meaning it can transition directly from a solid to a gas when exposed to air for an extended period.
