Introduction of natural Bitumen<\/h2>\n

Gilsonite, Natural Bitumen is a generic name widely used for a black, lustrous, carbonaceous resin classified as an asphaltite. Its proper name is uintaite, and it is found in Utah, USA. An important characteristic of Natural Bitumen is its softening-point temperature. In oil-based muds<\/a>, it is used as a fluid-loss control agent. Being a hydrocarbon, it is naturally wetted by the oil. In water-based muds<\/a>, it is used as a shale-stabilizing additive and is difficult to evaluate unless tested at or above its softening point. As a hydrocarbon, the Bitumen powder<\/strong> must be coupled with water by using a glycol or similar water-wetter.<\/p>\n

Natural Bitumen has the appearance of anthracite coal. Natural Bitumen is solidified oil. It\u2019s an asphaltite, a naturally solid hydrocarbon, that is jet black in color, very lightweight, brittle, and has a conchoidal fracture. One of the largest \u201cdeposits\u201d of \u00a0Natural Bitumen in the world are in the western part of Iran. Until recently it wasn’t considered a coal, oil product, or asphalt. Now it is recognized as an asphalt.<\/p>\n

Natural Bitumen is typically mixed with other petroleum products for wide-ranging industrial and commercial applications including printing ink, waterproofing primer, roofing asphalt, joint sealer<\/a>, pond and ditch lining, fireworks, paints and varnishes, linoleum, oil and gas<\/a> well cementing and drilling fluids, foundry sand molding, high-purity carbon electrodes, and more.<\/p>\n

Bitumen powder in different mesh size.<\/h2>\n

\"Gilsonite<\/p>\n

Bitumen powder<\/em> is available in different mesh size starting form 10\/20 30\/40 100<\/span> mesh 150<\/span> mesh and 200<\/span> mesh. Bitumen powder is producing according to order.<\/p>\n

Packing of bitumen powder<\/h2>\n

Bitumen powder<\/span> is dusty and black starting from course size to micronized size and could pack in 25<\/span>Kg, 50<\/span>Kg, and jumbo bag.<\/p>\n

Bitumen powder usage.<\/h2>\n

It is using in inks<\/a> & paint<\/a>, oil well-drilling fluid<\/a>, oil well cementing<\/a>, mix with asphalt<\/a> to increase the softening point, in the foundry <\/a>and casting business to make the surface shiny. There is big usage in bitumen waterproofing material like bitumen membrane<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
