TAR OIL Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Tar oil is a dark, viscous liquid obtained from the distillation of tar, used primarily as a wood preservative, waterproofing agent, and component in the production of certain chemicals. It is employed in various industrial applications, including the treatment of wooden structures, such as railroad ties, utility poles, and marine pilings, to protect them from decay and insect damage. Tar oil is also used in the manufacturing of roofing materials, sealants, and coatings. Proper handling and storage of tar oil are essential to prevent accidents and ensure safety, as it is flammable and can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with tar oil. Its effectiveness as a preservative and waterproofing agent makes tar oil a valuable product in numerous industrial applications, contributing to the protection and longevity of wooden structures and materials.
