Can tar be used as a paint?

2009-09-15View Original

Thread Content

To save money, our workshop uses tar instead of asphalt paint to coat the furnace doors, furnace columns, rising pipes, and collection pipes. The smell is extremely pungent; I’m not sure if it can cause any harm to human health Additionally, they add refined benzene fertilizer and acid tar to blended coal for coking; I wonder what toxic effects this may have? How to protect yourself?

It cannot be used, as tar contains a large amount of organic substances; these substances easily vaporize when exposed to heat in areas such as paint brushes and rising pipes, thereby harming human health.

Tar has a complex composition with many harmful substances, including carcinogens; it is certainly not suitable to be applied to doors. Adding it to coal poses no harm

It cannot be used as a coating, but it can serve as an anti-corrosion material for equipment foundations.

Of course it can’t be used as a paint – not only is it toxic, but it also pollutes the environment. Yet, the furnace columns and doors here are coated with this substance.

The tar produced by our company cannot be used as a coating; I’m not sure about anything else

It seems there are still many companies that don’t care about their employees’ health. It’s so hard for me to find a balance; sigh, the vulnerable groups…

I’ve really never heard of this being used as paint. . .

Paints won’t work, but it has an excellent anti-corrosion effect
