Manufacturing Process
Naphthalne flakes are fed into a machine(jacketed vessel) in which the temperature is maintained in the high 80's. The naphthalene flakes are stirred by an agitator until they melt. More ingredients such as: camphor, wax etc. are added to the melted flakes. The mixture is then poured into a ball press(mould). Once they are shaped and cooled, the naphthalene balls(mothballs) are packed and ready to be sold.
