DOT Classification:  3; Label: Flammable Liquid

The Coal tar creosote, with the CAS registry number 8001-58-9, is also known as creosoteoil;creosotep1;creosotum;cresyliccreosote. It belongs to the product categories of UVCBs-organic.Its EINECS number is 232-287-5. What's more,Its systematic name is Creosote. It is the distillate of coal tar produced by the high temperature carbonization of bituminous coal. It consists primarily of aromatic hydrocarbons, tar acids and tar bases.It is dark green, brown or yellowish liquid,air sensitive and Insoluble in water.Coal tar creosote contains creosote, an EPA designated hazardous substance.Coal tar creosote often contains substantial amounts of naphthalene and anthracene. The primary hazard is the threat posed to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Since creosote is a liquid creosote can easily penetrate the soil and contaminate groundwater and nearby streams.
