It acts as a plasticizer for nitrocellulose, and an ingredient for fireworks and explosive munitions. It is useful in the treatment of sprains, swellings and inflammation. It is also used to synthesize carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition process of camphor. Camphor was used in the synthesis of single-walled nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition. It was used in two-phase based hollow fibre liquid-phase microextraction procedure for migration analysis of food packagings containing essential oils.

(±)-Camphor (CAS: 76-22-2) has a wide range of uses based on its anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties.
