Gilsonite Solutions Gilsonite Solutions Gilsonite is an important component of today’s printing inks, paints & industrial coatings. Gilsonite is used as a hard resin and carbon black dispersant in a variety of coatings. Solutions of Gilsonite (sometimes called cutbacks or varnishes) are an excellent starting point for blending Gilsonite with other components of a final […]
Gilsonite Molecular Structure Gilsonite Molecular Structure A variety of sophisticated analytical tests has been run on Gilsonite from the Uintah Basin to characterize its unique properties. For reference, the test methods include vacuum thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transforms infrared spectrometry (FTIR), vapor pressure osometry (VPO), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), rapid […]
