General comment Coal pitch is a solid or semi-solid material derived from the distillation of coal tar. It is a complex mixture primarily consisting of aromatic hydrocarbons, and used chiefly in the manufacture of graphite electrodes, anodes for aluminum smelting, and tar-based roofing materials. Its processing level includes heat treatment to remove volatile compounds and its technical aspects involve conformity to industry standards of quality and purity. Usage information encompasses electrodes production, aluminum industry, and roofing application. Production route typically involves the thermal cracking of coal tar. It is available 'at plant' or 'to consumer' according to the supply chain requirements.
