Description

Coal Tar CAS NO 8007-45-2 is a complex, high-viscosity black liquid derived from the destructive distillation of bituminous coal. This material serves as a foundational feedstock for a vast array of industrial chemicals and materials, valued for its rich composition of aromatic hydrocarbons. It is essential for manufacturers in the construction, chemical processing, and specialty materials sectors seeking a reliable and consistent raw material source for downstream synthesis and formulation.

Application

• Road Construction & Paving: As a key binder in coal tar pitch for asphalt and sealcoat products, providing superior water resistance and durability.
• Chemical Manufacturing: As a primary feedstock for the production of creosote, naphthalene, benzene, toluene, xylene, and other aromatic compounds.
• Specialty Coatings & Paints: Used in the formulation of protective coatings, industrial paints, and roofing materials for its excellent waterproofing and adhesive properties.
• Carbon Black Production: Served as a raw material in the manufacture of carbon black, a reinforcing agent used in tires, rubber, and plastic products.
• Wood Preservation: A primary component in creosote oil for the pressure-treatment of railway ties, utility poles, and marine pilings.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a source for refining specific chemical fractions used in synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Quality Control

Our Coal Tar is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and meets typical industry specifications for distillation range, specific gravity, and viscosity. While it is an industrial-grade mixture, we ensure it is free from extraneous contaminants. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key physical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and production planning.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation of volatile fractions and absorption of moisture. Observe all local regulations for the storage of combustible materials.
