The application of gilsonite in the manufacture of inks and the oil/gas industry is very important. Gilsonite is used in slurry cementing chemicals to provide density control, abrasive action to remove slurry and to support compressive strength development. It has a unique interaction with oil shale to increase the growth and strength of cement binders. Printer ink is a mixture of carbon black and pitch, so with the help of gelatin, this compound becomes more viscous and its durability is much longer. A large amount of gilatine is used in the production of newspaper inks, also known as organic inks. The most important factors in which gilsonite can be used are low fineness and less than 3% ash. The most important thing in ink making is to simplify the material and its stabilizers. Gilsonite can be made into inks, the most famous of which are printing inks, newspaper inks, printing inks, lithographic inks, offset printing inks, gravure, caster and flexo inks. In the oil and gas industry, drilling fluids or drilling fluids perform a variety of functions that affect drilling speed, cost, efficiency, and drilling operator safety. There are many types of drilling fluid systems to choose from, such as water-based mud, oil-based mud, stabilized foam mud, and air or air-based mud, from which the appropriate system can be selected. Major drilling mud additives include viscosifiers, fluid loss reducers, drilling fluid dispersants and corrosion inhibitors. Cement and cement additives are critical inputs to completing any oil and gas well. This page summarizes the applications of gilsonite in the asphalt coatings/inks, oil/gas, paints and wood coatings industries. It contains a detailed chart that highlights the market, along with sample formulations, mixing instructions, product performance data, and more. 
Gilsonite in ink & paint
Gilsonite can be used to make inks and paints. This substance is used in asphalt-based paints. The high nitrogen content in natural asphalt improves its curing properties and UV stability. This product is mainly used to coat exterior surfaces and to create acid resistance. Gilsonite resins are widely used as carbon black based wetting agents for black news inks. Gilsonite is used as the main component of black and brown ink carbon black. It competes with oil-based hydrocarbon resins, phenolic resins and mineral resins. Gilsonite effectively seals permeable formations in ink and paints under very balanced pressure differentials. In this way, gilsonite helps prevent stuck tubes and loggers from getting stuck through these areas. The gilsonite is obtained by solvent extraction from the raw material, and is used as a wetting agent for black news ink, tempering ink and gravity ink. It is readily soluble in specialty products that are soluble in xylene, toluene, benzene and most solvents. The ink-free water contains a mixture of gel stone flakes and acidic fatty acids with carbon black pigmentation. Gilsonite has been used in the coatings industry for many years. It is used in asphalt-based paints. The high nitrogen content in gilatine increases UV viscosity and stability. 
This product is commonly used to cover exterior surfaces, as well as acid-resistant, car covers and body paints. Gilite's black and brown pigments have many uses, including: for inkjet printers Use black ink and vivid ink black asphalt paint refined oil Covering metal structures such as aircraft and ships Dyeing of gas and gas pipes For asphalt-based coatings (enhanced color fastness to UV). for inkjet printers Use black ink and vivid ink black asphalt paint refined oil Covering metal structures such as aircraft and ships Dyeing of gas and gas pipes For asphalt-based coatings (enhanced color fastness to UV). 
Gilsonite oil & gas
Gilsonite in oil and gas well cementing is a very advanced technology. Cement and water slurries, with or without various additives, have been used for many years in cementing procedures that are carried out from time to time during the life of the well. With unmatched strengths in cement and drilling fluids, gilsonite is proven under pressure. Gilsonite has a unique combination of strength, flexibility, adhesion and high temperature capability, adding properties to drilling fluids and cements in ways no other additive can. Gilsonite is the industry recognized standard for filtration control and is equally effective in controlling loss and improving wellbore stability. Cement is commonly used during drilling and completions to protect production areas, isolate and confine water areas, support wellbore walls, anchor casing, and control losses that cannot be overcome by methods associated with drilling mud circulation. These installers are often considered essential by diaspore additives. Gilsonite is used in drilling mud and cementing oil wells. Gilite, with a range of softening points and particle sizes, is a standard ingredient in petroleum-based drilling muds used in shale and other challenging geological formations. The addition of specially treated gelatine to water-based drilling fluids helps reduce hole drift by stabilizing troublesome shale and sealing high-permeability sand, while reducing torque and drag. The addition of gelatine to oil well cement reduces the weight of the slurry without loss of compressive strength and acts as an effective bridging and sealant for bridging fractures in fragile formations during consolidation. Additionally, diaspore is used in drilling muds according to FLC "filter loss control" or "fluid loss control" in oil-based muds. All common types of gelstone are highly incompressible and have a specific gravity close enough to that of water so that appropriately sized gelstone particles can be easily suspended in an aqueous liquid carrier. Therefore, gelsonite is used in powder form for this purpose. Particle size varies according to the characteristics of the wellbore. The softening point is very important because the gelatite must soften at a temperature above the well formation temperature. The recommended softening point is 150-180°C, and the particle size is 4-100. In fact, there are many process devices, and the most used is 200/200 (softening point/particle). An important property of gelatine is its softening point temperature. In oil-based mucilage, it is used as a fluid loss control agent. In water-based slimes, it is used as an additive to stabilize shale, and is difficult to evaluate unless tested at or above the softening point. 
Gilsonite chemical
Gilsonite is combined with many other chemicals and materials that utilize its unique physical and chemical properties. Gilsonite is a complex system of various components, consisting of hydrocarbons and heterogeneous atoms. Four main chemical families are obtained after fractionation of gelatite by specific solvents: saturated, aromatic, resinous, and asphaltenes. The combination of pitch flakes (highly condensed pseudomonomers of carbon black bone, chemical functionalities and heteroatoms surrounded by aliphatic chains) leads to the formation of microstructures or "micelles". They can also form groups. Adhesive and coating applications in metallurgy, woodwork, refraction and other industries demonstrate the versatility and usefulness of this wonderful material. Gilsonite, "Natural Bitumen, Natural Bitumen", has a wide range of industrial applications in metal alloy processing, refractory materials, steel desulfurization, friction products, wood products, waterproof pipe coatings, adhesives, etc. It is a non-toxic, non-carcinogenic alternative to coal tar pitch and an economical alternative to mineral rubber. Gelsonite, "natural bitumen", is used as a binder and admixture in steel desulfurization products. Contains consistent volatiles that enhance mixing of other desulfurization chemicals such as magnesium and slaked lime. You will also add carbon content to the steel and provide a reducing atmosphere when oxidizing at high temperatures. The gilsonite "Natural Asphalt" is used to make waterproof coatings for water pipes. It is a non-toxic natural resin with excellent adhesive properties. Chemically inert, corrosion-resistant pipe coatings can be made from sodalite, "natural bitumen, natural bitumen". The wood products industry also uses "natural bitumen" gelsonite, as a trustee. It has excellent water and weather resistance. Since gelsonite is a hard resin, it can be made into very hard particleboard. Gilsonite is a "natural bitumen" resin that competes with petroleum hydrocarbon resins, phenolic resins, and mineral resins, all of which can be supplemented or replaced to varying degrees. We use various concentrations of gel resins to create illegal press inks with excellent gloss and adhesion properties. A special grade of gel stone called Select is also a standard ingredient in black ink formulations and used as an additive in asphalt coatings and varnishes. As for paints, if added to asphalt paints and varnishes, the unique qualities of gilatine improve roughness, gloss, and resistance to chemicals and weathering. Printing inks, hard pitch, "natural pitch, natural pitch" are important cost-effective ingredients for the manufacture of high-quality composites for dark printing inks. 
Gilsonite in coatings & stains
Gilsonite coatings are used in the automotive industry as chassis and body stains due to their UV resistance. This substance can impart useful properties to paints and coatings. Since this mineral is abrasive and chemically neutral, it is highly resistant to acids, water and chemicals. Therefore, it can be used in automotive radiators and waterproof coatings. By changing the colloid balance and removing oils and waxes from the bitumen, its properties change. If these oils and waxes are present on the surface, the gloss of the paint will decrease, and if these oils and waxes are transferred to the inner surface of the paint, the adhesion of the paint will decrease. These coatings are available in many formulations for a variety of applications. The high nitrogen content and natural properties of bitumen create adhesion in gelatine. This feature allows these coatings to be used as anti-corrosion coatings and moisture protection coatings to protect materials. A special type of gel stone is also used to make black asphalt and polishing oils. Can also be used to prepare dark brown solutions for bituminous coating of gas and sewage pipes. Coloured bases and resins for interior and exterior oily penetrating wood stains. It is suitable for both fine and coarse wood, imparts waterproof properties to protective coatings and enhances natural wood grain. Excellent weather resistance, water resistance, corrosion resistance and discoloration resistance. In coating applications, gelsonite is often used with bitumen (bitumen). In most cases, if diaspore is used alone, the final coating will be very hard and brittle when dry. If regular bitumen is used alone, the final coat is too soft and sticky. 
Therefore, a mixture of gelatine and bitumen is used to achieve the desired hardness (penetration) and drying time of the final coating. Gilsonite is blended with fatty acids and carbon black to enhance ink stack stability, increase ink viscosity, flow and penetration, while increasing production efficiency. The printed ink contains a mixture of stearite powder and long stearic acid, as well as carbon pigments. The ratio of sodalite to normal fatty acids may vary as the viscosity requirements vary due to differences in piston speed, the characteristics of the newspaper, etc.
