(CHMCY* 0001) .(FML) Chemical Formula: (UNSPECIFIED FORMULA) (SPC) Species in Mixture: COAL TAR CREOSOTE IS A DISTILLATE OF COAL TAR PRODUCED BY HIGH-TEMPERATURE CARBONIZATION OF BITUMINOUS COAL. (MEIEDD 0001) PROPERTIES VARY DEPENDING ON THE SOURCE OF THE TAR. AN IN-DEPTH REVIEW OF THE CHARACTERIZATION OF WOOD-PRESERVING COAL-TAR CREOSOTE IS GIVEN IN (XAFLA7 0001) . COAL TAR CREOSOTE COMPRISES LIQUID AND SOLID AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS, UP TO 3% TAR ACIDS, AND TAR BASES. (MEIEDD 0001) MAJOR COMPONENTS OF CREOSOTE ARE POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS, MOST WITH THREE OR MORE RINGS: NAPHTHALENE, 3.0%; 2-METHYLNAPHTHALENE, 1.2%; 1- METHYLNAPHTHALENE, 0.9%; BIPHENYL, 0.8%; DIMETHYLNAPHTHALENES, 2.0%; ACENAPHTHENE, 9.0%; DIBENZOFURAN, 5.0%; FLUORENE, 10.0%; METHYLFLUORENES, 3.0%; PHENANTHRENE, 21.0%; ANTHRACENE, 2.0%; CARBAZOLE, 2.0%; METHYLPHENANTHRENES, 3.0%; METHYLANTHRACENES, 4.0%; FLUORANTHENE, 10.0%; PYRENE, 8.5%; BENZOFLUORENES, 2.0%; CHRYSENE, 3.0%. TIMBER-TREATING COAL- TAR CREOSOTE IS PREPARED TO CONFORM TO THE DISTILLATION RANGE OF THE AMERICAN WOOD PRESERVERS SPECIFICATION Pl-78. (THIS STANDARD SPECIFIES THAT NO MORE THAN 2.0% OF NEW OR USED CREOSOTE SHOULD DISTILL BELOW 210 DEGREES CELSIUS, THAT NO MORE THAN 12.0% SHOULD DISTILL BELOW 235 DEGREES CELSIUS, THAT 10.0 TO 35.0 PERCENT SHOULD DISTILL BELOW 270 DEGREES CELSIUS, THAT 40.0 TO 65.0 PERCENT SHOULD DISTILL BELOW 315 DEGREES CELSIUS, AND THAT 60.0 TO 77.0 PERCENT SHOULD DISTILL BELOW 355 DEGREES CELSIUS. ) IN ADDITION TO THE HYDROCARBONS LISTED ABOVE, CREOSOTE CONTAINS THE HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS QUINOLINE, CARBAZOLE, AND DIBENZOFURAN. THE NITROGENOUS COMPOUNDS ARE THE "TAR BASES". COMPOUNDS BOILING FROM 200 TO 270 DEGREES CELSIUS ARE PRIMARILY NAPHTHALENES. THOSE BOILING BETWEEN 270 AND 355 DEGREES CELSIUS ARE A MIXTURE OF ACENAPHTHENE, FLUORENE, PHENANTHRENE, ANTHRACENE, AND OTHER HYDROCARBONS. THE FRACTION BOILING ABOVE 355 DEGREES CELSIUS CONTAINS PYRENE, FLUORANTHENE, AND CHRYSENE. (15SWA8 0002) (IDCDD* 0001) "CREOSOTES" OR "CREOSOTE OILS" ARE BLENDS OF A NUMBER OF RESIDUAL OILS FROM TAR DISTILLATION, SUCH AS NAPHTHALENE DRAIN OIL, WASH OIL, DRAINED ANTHRACENE OIL, AND HEAVY OIL. TIMBER PRESERVATION CREOSOTE IS A BLEND OF PRIMARILY WASH OIL, DRAINED ANTHRACENE OIL, AND HEAVY OIL. IF THE CREOSOTE IS TO BE USED FOR PARTIAL COMBUSTION TO CARBON BLACK, IT IS CHIEFLY A MIXTURE OF ANTHRACENE OIL AND HEAVY OIL. WINTER WASH OILS FOR DORMANT FRUIT TREES ARE CREOSOTES COMPRISING A MIXTURE OF DRAINED NAPHTHALENE OIL, WASH OIL, AND ANTHRACENE OIL CONTAINING RESIDUAL TAR ACIDS. CREOSOTE OILS CONTAIN MAINLY NAPHTHALENE, PHENOL, AND CRESOLS. PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS, INCLUDING NAPKTHOLS AND XYLENOLS, ARE THE "TAR ACIDS". (15SWA8 0002) (USS) Common Uses: COAL TAR CREOSOTE IS USED FOR IMPREGNATING WOOD (SUCH AS RAILROAD TIES, TELEPHONE POLES, AND MARINE PILINGS) TO PROTECT FROM ROT AND WORMS. (MEIEDD 0001) (CCDCDS 0002) OTHER USES INCLUDE WATERPROOFING AGENT, CONSTITUENT IN FUEL OIL, LUBRICANT FOR DIE MOLDS, PITCH FOR ROOFING, MANUFACTURE OF CHEMICALS AND LAMPBLACK.
