PINE TAR Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Pine tar is a dark, viscous liquid obtained from the destructive distillation of pine wood. It has a strong, smoky odor and has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, shipbuilding, and as a wood preservative. Pine tar is rich in phenolic compounds, which give it antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is used in veterinary medicine to treat skin conditions in animals and in human medicine for psoriasis, eczema, and other skin disorders. Pine tar is also an ingredient in some soaps and shampoos. Proper handling is essential to avoid skin and respiratory irritation. It should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sources of heat and ignition. Pine tar remains a valuable natural product with diverse applications, from medicinal treatments to industrial uses.
