A liquid or semiliquid product resulting from the distillation of petroleum and containing largely asphaltic hydrocarbons. Also known as asphaltum oil, liquid asphalt, black oil, petroleum tailings, and residuum. Combustible.

Use:

Roofing compounds, hot-melt adhesives, friction tape, sealants, heating oil for large buildings, factories, etc.See Fuel Oil.
