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.
Cre-Away Pro contains 50% more magnesium catalyst than regular Cre-Away. The Cre-Away Pro Applicator is a more economical way to apply Cre-Away. So if you find yourself using a lot of Cre-Away, try using the Pro Applicator and buying your Cre-Away in our bulk, 25 lb pail. You’ll save money. Simply fill the hopper on the applicator and attach to a small portable 1½ - 2 gallon portable air compressor (sold separately at most home improvement stores). Regulate the air pressure on the compressor to about 20 p.s.i. and blast the Cre-Away Pro up the flue until it is thoroughly coated.
