ACS Powder is a four component powder that safely and effectively modifies glazed or third-degree creosote so that it can be more easily removed by chimney sweeping. This case contains six 1 lb. bottles of ACS Powder.

First, a reactive agent neutralizes the slightly acidic creosote making it less corrosive to metal components and less flammable. Second, a dehydrator absorbs the oils and moisture contained in some forms of creosote. Third, a combustion inhibitor helps reduce the chance of chimney fires. Finally, a magnesium catalyst helps break down third-degree creosote when the flue is heated by normal use.

• ACS Powder can be used to modify third-degree creosote by converting it into a more brittle state that has a different expansion/contraction rate than the flue it is attached to. During heating and cooling cycles, this creosote cleaner causes the black creosote to lose its adhesive properties, making the creosote removal process much easier. Creosote and soot build-up in fireplaces or wood stove chimneys can be a fire hazard if it is not properly cleaned and maintained. Remove creosote before it builds up and becomes a fire hazard.

Coverage: Use 1/3 of the bottle on each fire
Available Sizes: Cases of six 1 lb. bottles
