Gilsonite

Physical Sandproperties with Gilsonite resin are equal or superior to seacoal atsignificantly lower additive levels. Gilsonite improves sand density, waterrequirements and strength (green, dry, baked, and hot). Gas evolution curvesshow that Gilsonite volatilizes more rapidly than seacoal. Gilsonite has thesame total volatiles as seacoal at one-third the additive level.

Gilsoniteresin is used by asphalt producers, road paving engineers and pavingcontractors who are concerned with PG specifications, high performance and costeffectiveness. Gilsonite, long known as a bitumen reinforcer and hardeningagent, also offers a unique combination of high performance and economy forhigh stress paving, as well as preservation applications. A significant benefitof Gilsonite is in producing road pavement mixes of higher stability thanconventional ones.

Gilsonite is usedto mix with petro bitumen 60/70 or bitumen 80/100 to increase the volume andmake economic bitumen to make roof insulation.

Gilsonite is usedas a performance-enhancing agent for asphalt mixes. Gilsonite-modified pavingmixes achieve higher PG grades and incorporate perfectly into the asphalt blendwith no need for high shear milling as is the case with many other modifiers.Gilsonite can partially or totally replace, or complement, the use of SBSpolymers in modified asphalts at a fraction of the cost. Gilsonite-modifiedasphalts have higher stability, reduced deformation, reduced temperaturesusceptibility and increased resistance to water stripping than non-modifiedasphalts. Gilsonite is also used to make both solvent-based and emulsionpavement sealers with superior appearance and weathering properties.

Gilsonite is usedto control API and HTHP fluid loss in the oil base drilling fluid. when mixedwith organophilic clays, it is particular grind size and softening point areideal for reducing whole mud losses to the formation .Gilsonite pulverized isonly partially soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons.

gilsonite-bitumen.com is primary producer of Gilsonite with packing as per of order in small and big bag.

Gilsonite packed in 25kg poly propylene bag powdered with mesh size of 30-40 and packed in 500Kg big bag and 500,1000Kg in lump.
