2-Benzyloxy Naphthalene CAS No: 613-62-7

2-Benzyloxy naphthalene, also known as NBE or BON, is primarily used as a sensitizer in thermal paper production. It’s applied in the coating composition of thermal paper, working in conjunction with other additives like color formers and developers to facilitate the color change upon heating. Additionally, it can be a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis.

Thermal Paper:
NBE is a key component in thermal paper, helping to create the image when heat is applied. It’s applied as part of an aqueous coating on the base paper, along with other necessary components

Organic Synthesis:
It can be used as a building block in synthesizing more complex organic molecules, including those used in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals
