Gilsonite Asphalt Scientists improve method to pull greenhouse gas from natural gas streams A Rice University laboratory has improved its method to turn plain asphalt into a porous material that can capture greenhouse gases from natural gas. In research detailed this month in Advanced Energy Materials, Rice researchers showed that a new form of the […]
Gilsonite Natural Bitumen Gilsonite Natural bitumen in drilling, asphalt, ink, paint, and foundry Gilsonite is a naturally occurring, solid, black, lightweight organic material that originates from the solidification of petroleum. The dull, black appearance of weathered gilsonite resembles coal, whereas the surface of freshly broken gilsonite is shiny and resembles obsidian. Gilsonite Natural Bitumen is distinguished […]
Gilsonite Natural Asphalt GILSONITE NATURAL ASPHALT IMPROVES DRILLING EFFICIENCIES, WELLBORE STABILITY, FILTER CAKE DEVELOPMENT The primary use of Gilsonite Natural Asphalt today is as an additive in drilling fluids and cement slurries that are utilized in the drilling of oil and gas wells. It is also used in hard resin printing inks for newspapers and magazines, […]
GILSONITE BENEFITS-ASPHALT PAVEMENT GILSONITE BENEFITS-ASPHALT PAVEMENT SCIENTIFIC STUDY PROVES GILSONITE BENEFITS IN ASPHALT PAVEMENT A 2015 study by the Western Regional Superpave Center at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the University of Nevada, Reno, proved that Gilsonite-modified binders significantly extend the useful life of asphalt pavement. This is good news for agencies […]
Gilsonite-Asphalt Mixture Gilsonite-Asphalt mixture – Application of Gilsonite in Hot Mix Asphalt Definition Of Gilsonite GILSONITE is a pure hydrocarbon, with a melting point between 160°C and 220°C. The mineral is natural bitumen and geologically petroleum based solid and therefore extremely compatible with petroleum bitumen. When blended, a very intimate molecule of GILSONITE and bitumen […]
