Fluid Loss Control (FLC) Drilling Gilsonite – Fluid Loss Control (FLC) What Is Gilsonite Gilsonite is mined in underground shafts and resembles shiny, black substance similar in appearance as the mineral Obsidian It is brittle and usually micronized into dark brown powder. It is mainly composed of asphaltenes; thus, Gilsonite Is classified as a Natural […]
Gilsonite usage waterproofing membranes manufacturing Gilsonite usage waterproofing membranes manufacturing SUMMARY Gilsonite is the best material to mix with bitumen and make composite roof insulation sheets for roofing and isolation with high flexibility and cheap price. Gilsonite is used in roofing materials primarily as an agent to lower the penetration of petroleum asphalt without aging or […]
Gilsonite mixing process General Description of Gilsonite Mixing Process Mixing Gilsonite into Bitumen The use of modifiers to improve the performance of bituminous road paving materials is increasing worldwide. These additives range from polymers and fibers to lime. One product is now being considered very seriously by road paving engineers and paving contractors who are […]

Gilsonite Properties Gilsonite Properties Gilsonite greatly resembles asphalt. of which it is considered a species by many authors. Asphalt readily becomes softened by the warmth of the hand or the rays of the sun. However, Gilsonite is not affected by heat below the boiling point of water. All gilsonite does not have the same melt […]
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 […]
Asphalt modifier Gilsonite in Asphalt modifier Use Gilsonite in Asphalt binder and recycled asphalt to build roads that last. High-performance road surfaces have long been made possible with the use of Gilsonite. Gilsonite’s superior properties make it the go-to modifier for hot mix pavements and pavement sealers. As it is practical to add Gilsonite to […]
Iran Lake Asphalt Description of Iran Lake Asphalt The Natural Bitumen, found in some places, has a very low softening point, making the product a semi-solid material mixed with dust and mineral contents. Such natural bitumen is found in several countries, such as Trinidad, Iran, and Indonesia. Having a low softening point makes it possible […]
bituminous membranes Gilsonite in bituminous membranes Gilsonite is the best material to mix with bitumen and make composite roof insulation sheets for roofing and isolation with high flexibility and cheap price. Gilsonite is used in roofing materials primarily as an agent to lower the penetration of petroleum asphalt without aging or oxidizing the base asphalt. […]
