Abstract

Abstract A process is disclosed for the purification of coal tar. This process comprises the extraction of commercially available coal tar with a solvent system boiling at or below 80*C and comprising a fluorocarbon or a hydrocarbon or a mixture of these where the kauri-butanol number of the resulting system has a value of less than 75 and recovering the coal tar extract by filtration and evaporation of the volatile solvent system. The coal tar extract thus obtained is dermatologically more acceptable and clinically more effective than known coal tar extracts or preparations and can be incorporated into many dermatologically acceptable vehicles.
