SDS & Certificate of Analysis
Creosote, a complex chemical mixture found from the result of coal tar distillation, serves as a wood preservative, safeguarding against decay and insect damage. Its application in this capacity spans over a hundred years. The substance′s safety profile has been the focus of extensive research, including health effects as a result of exposure to creosote. While the precise biological interactions are not entirely clear, the compounds in creosote are thought to interfere with cellular functions and DNA integrity, which could potentially lead to mutations.
