Description
Cre-Away is a highly effective product designed to modify third-degree (glazed) creosote, converting it into a brittle state that detaches more easily during chimney sweeping. By altering the expansion and contraction rates of the creosote compared to the flue, heating and cooling cycles cause the creosote to lose its adhesive properties, simplifying removal.
How It Works:
- Reactive Agent: Neutralizes creosote, making it less corrosive to metal components and reducing flammability.
- Dehydrator: Absorbs oils and moisture found in some creosote types.
- Combustion Inhibitor: Minimizes the risk of chimney fires.
- Magnesium Catalyst: Breaks down third-degree creosote during regular heating cycles, enhancing effectiveness.
Cre-Away works on all types of creosote but is not recommended for use with catalytic stoves. For larger applications, Cre-Away Professional Strength is available in a 25-pound pail. It contains 50% more magnesium catalyst than standard Cre-Away, ensuring faster and more comprehensive treatment. Pair it with the Cre-Away Pro Applicator and a small air compressor for efficient application, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
Benefits:
- Effective on All Types of Creosote: Safely modifies even stubborn, glazed creosote.
- Prevents Chimney Fires: Aids in creosote removal, reducing fire hazards.
- Reduces Creosote Odors: Improves the comfort of your living space.
- Simplifies Cleaning: Treated chimneys are easier to sweep and clean thoroughly.
- Fast and Easy to Use: Designed for convenience and efficiency.
Creosote and soot buildup in fireplaces or wood stove chimneys can pose serious fire risks if left untreated. Regular use of Cre-Away ensures safer, cleaner chimneys, and it should be part of any annual chimney maintenance plan. Always have your chimney inspected and cleaned by a qualified chimney sweep.
