Wood protection

An unmatched wood preservative and antiseptic for over a century.

Creosote is a wood-protection substance that extends the service life of outdoor heavy-duty applications such as railway sleepers and utility poles up to 30 years.

Having proved its value for over 100 years, creosote remains a popular biocide for these applications. Creosote’s ability to prevent rot extends the life of wooden infrastructure, thereby reducing the need to harvest new trees and reducing the lifecycle cost of the products in which it is applied.

The main uses in the EU are in railway crossties and utility poles.

Applications

Thanks to its many critical applications, the coal chemicals industry makes a direct contribution to Europe’s climate objectives through a systematic energy efficiency approach.
