SBS modified bitumen membrane is a premium waterproofing sheet produced by blending styrene-butadiene-styrene elastomeric polymer with penetration-grade bitumen. The polymer converts standard bitumen into an elastic, rubber-like material with outstanding cold-temperature flexibility and crack-bridging capability — making SBS membranes the preferred choice for cold climates, green roofs, tunnels, and structures subject to movement. RAHA Gilsonite […]

APP modified bitumen membrane is a high-performance waterproofing sheet produced by blending atactic polypropylene with penetration-grade bitumen. The polymer raises the binder’s heat resistance, UV stability and mechanical strength — making APP membranes the standard choice for exposed roofing in warm and temperate climates, where an unmodified or elastomeric sheet would soften, flow or degrade […]

Gilsonite Binder Grade Gilsonite Binder Grade Gilsonite vs. TLA in mastic asphalt mixtures Gilsonite Binder Grade proven to offer superior performance and economic advantages The water-resistant characteristics of mastic asphalt are due to high concentrations of bitumen and other additives that help bind aggregate particles together. Trinidad Lake Asphalt (TLA) is the most widely used […]

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, […]

Amorphous graphite is a misnomer, and the misunderstanding costs buyers money. The material is fully crystalline — microcrystalline, to be precise — and what looks like a defect on paper is the working property in several applications. This page explains the naming, sets out the purity grades from 70% to 90%, and is honest about […]

Gilsonite Construction Grade Gilsonite Construction Grade is a naturally occurring solid hydrocarbon — classified as an asphaltite — used as a high-performance modifier in road construction, HMA (Hot Mix Asphalt), and pavement preservation. When blended into bitumen, it fundamentally stiffens the binder, raises its softening point, and dramatically improves resistance to rutting, fatigue, and moisture […]

Gilsonite Sealer Gilsonite Pavement Sealers Gilsonite’s proven properties make high-performance solvent-based and emulsion pavement sealers dry quicker, look better and last longer. As a natural antioxidant, it allows pavement sealers to stay blacker longer. Gilsonite’s unique molecular fractions rejuvenate the pavement being sealed. The strong bonding properties of Gilsonite help weatherproof the sealer. Making longer-lasting […]

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 […]
