Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Coal tar creosote is a brownish-black/yellowish-dark green oily liquid with a characteristic odour, which is a mixture of several hundred, probably a thousand chemicals.
Coal tar creosote is only slightly soluble in water and soluble in a variety of organic solvents and it is obtained by the fractional distillation of crude coal tars. The approximate distillation range is 200-400°C. The chemical composition of creosote is influenced by the origin of the coal and also by the nature of the distilling process; as a result, the creosote components are rarely consistent in their type and concentration.
