Creosote mixed with coal-tar creosote, or fortified with pentachlorophenol. Water-gas-tar creosote is also derived from petroleum oil or shale oil, but by a different process; its distilled during the production of water gas. The tar is a by-product resulting from enrichment of water gas with gases produced by thermal decomposition of petroleum.

Like standard oil-tar creosote, it has a low amount of tar acids and tar bases, and
