When we remove chimney creosote or chimney tar. We first sweep the chimney, then we heat the chimney. We then apply a chemical called Creaway-Pro, this chemical changes the composition of the creosote into a removable form, once it has experienced 3 fires of at least 300 degrees celcius, we return a week later and descaling the chimney, removing the remaining creosote.
Cre-Away Pro is a 4 component powder that safely and effectively modifies glazed or third-degree creosote so that it can be more effectively removed by chimney sweeping. First a reactive agent neutralizes the slightly acidic creosote making it less corrosive to metal components and less flammable. Second, a dehydrator absorbs the oils and moisture contained in some forms of creosote. Third, a combustion inhibitor helps reduce the chance of chimney fires. Finally, a magnesium catalyst helps break down third-degree creosote when the flue is heated by normal use.
Apply during the heating season to modify glazed creosote, making it easier to remove. Apply Cre-Away after every cleaning to make any remaining stubborn deposits safer and to neutralize the acidity and odours from the creosote.
