The Problem.
Glazed Creosote. 
Creosote and soot build-up in your fireplace or wood stove chimney can
be a fire hazard if your chimney system is not properly cleaned and
maintained. Occasionally wood stoves and fireplaces can produce a tar or
glaze called third-degree creosote.
THE SOLUTION.
Cre-Away ™ Pro, creosote modifier.
Cre-Away ™ Pro 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 third- degree creosote when the flue is heated by normal
use.
A certified member of the CSAI will spray Cre-Away™ Pro directly up the
flue (with an upward draught) near the top of the firebox, the powder is
carried up the chimney coating the entire surface of the flue and
enabling the four components to start working.
The Net Effect
Cre-Away ™ Pro  modifies 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.
