Traditional Creosote was withdrawn from sale to the general public in 2003. Due to continued demand, Bartoline was instrumental in the development of Creosote Substitute, a preparation comprising of petroleum distillates and synthetically manufactured substitutes. As from the 1st February 2009, Creosote Substitute has been withdrawn from sale however Bartoline has introduced an alternative non-biocidal product Creocote Oil Based Timber Treatment. The result is a highly effective oil based wood treatment, which provides excellent surface water repellence and restricts weather damage. The product improves grain definition and exhibits the characteristic odour familiar to traditional Creosote users. Bartoline Creocote applies exactly like its predecessors, and can be used by the general public as well as trade persons. Brushes may be cleaned using Bartoline White Spirit.
