7BACK Cre-away Creosote Removing Formula -- 1lb squeeze bottle Cre-Away is a four component powder that safely and effectively modifies glazed or third-stage creosote so it can be more easily removed by chimney sweeping. By simply squeezing the bottle directly up the flue (with an upward draft) near the top of the fire box, the powder is carried up the chimney, coating the entire surface of the flue. Cre-Away modifies third-stage or glazed creosote by converting it into a more brittle state that has a different expansion/contraction rate than the flue it's attached to. During heating and cooling cycles the treated creosote loses its adhesive properties so it can be more easily removed. BENEFITS Effective on all types of creosote Helps prevent chimney fires Reduces creosote odors Chimneys clean easier and more completely when swept Ready to use Fast and easy to use DESCRIPTION Cre-Away is a four component powder that safely and effectively modifies glazed or third-degree creosote so that it can be more easily 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 thirddegree creosote when the flue is heated by normal use. USES Cre-Away can be used to modify third-degree creosote by converting it into a more brittle state that has a different expansion/contraction rate than the flue it is attached to. During heating and cooling cycles, the treated creosote loses its adhesive properties so it can be more easily removed. Creosote and soot build-up in fireplaces or wood stove chimneys can be a fire hazard if it is not properly cleaned and maintained.
