Coal Tar Pitch is obtained by distilling Crude Coal Tar. Coal Tar Pitch is used as a binder in the Aluminium, Graphite Electrode and Carbon Electrode Paste industry. It is also used in the Paints, Water-proofing and Refractory industries.Crude Coal Tar received from by-product coke oven plants is heated to temperatures up to 400oC in specially designed distillation stills. This removes moisture, Naphthalene, Light Creosote Oil and Heavy Creosote Oil from the Coal Tar. The resultant product is called Coal Tar Pitch. Depending on the blend of Crude Coal Tar and the temperatures to which the distillation is carried out different grades of Coal Tar Pitch are produced.
