Hazardous Chemical Details

Cas Number 70321-79-8
Chemical Name Creosote oil, high-boiling distillate
Chemical Synonym Wash Oil
[The high-boiling distillation fraction obtained from the high temperature carbonization of bituminous coal which is further refined to remove excess crystalline salts. It consists primarily of creosote oil with some of the normal polynuclear aromatic salts, which are components of coal tar distillates, removed. It is crystal free at approximately 5°C (41°F).]
Hazard Category Carcinogenicity – category 1B
Hazard Statement H350 (May cause cancer)

Notes H (The classification and labelling shown for this substance applies to the hazardous property(ies) indicated by the hazard statement(s) in combination with the hazard class(es) and category(ies) shown.For hazard classes where the route of exposure or the nature of the effects leads to a differentiation of the classification of the hazard class, the manufacturer, importer or downstream user should consider the routes of exposure or the nature of the effects not already considered. )
M (The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance contains less than 0.005 % w/w benzo[a]-pyrene (CAS No 50-32-8). This note applies only to certain complex coal-derived substances in this spreadsheet.)
8 (The tables in schedule 6 of the WHS regulations replace some tables in the GHS, this may affect the cut off concentrations for this chemical.)
