Equinade Stockholm Tar

Equinade Pure Stockholm Tar is made from 100% pure genuine Swedish pine tar. Since the 1400s, the best tar in the world has come from the dense pine forests in Stockholm, Sweden. Stockholm held a monopoly for selling pine tar and so the premium form of the product became known as "Stockholm Tar". Substitute materials are marketed as stockholm tar, but should not be used as a veterinary product. Whilst black in colour, the substitute is a residue of charcoal.

Equinade Pure Stockholm Tar has a variety of benefits and uses:

• Non-toxic and does not contain water, petroleum based chemicals or carcinogenic creosote
• The natural antiseptic action helps to combat bacterial infections of the hoof and skin, including thrush
• Assists in the treatment of split hooves, split heels, cracks and corns. Promotes a flexible and elastic hoof
• A valuable ingredient to make preparations such as soap, shampoo, animal dips and hoof applications.
• Other applications include sealing and preventing infection of shearing wounds and when dehorning.
