Micronized Gilsonite or natural bitumen powder is obtained by grinding lumps of natural bitumen used in paint, rubber, industrial bitumen and asphalt production. In the first stage the quality of the micronized gilsonite powder depends on the stone that is ground, and in the next stage it depends on the grain size, which varies by micron in different industries. Sales of micronized gilsonite powder from natural bitumen processing plant and investigation of the advantages of using micronized gilsonite powder over normal mineral bitumen powder, the smaller the particles of the mineral bitumen, the higher the solubility of gilsonite, the resulting percentage of gilsonite admixture The powder is enhanced with bitumen and the use of micronized gilsonite powder reduces the cooking time or time of mixing the powder with bitumen, and the method of producing bitumen with gilsonite becomes easier and more optimized. Gilsonite from our mine is mined by hand using hammers with pneumatic jacks in underground shafts. We separate Gilsonite by temperature grade, dry and inspect it, shape it to customer specifications and submit it to comprehensive quality control processes prior to shipping Gilsonite. Main indications:
- Drilling Fluids - Gilsonite improves drilling efficiency, wellbore, stability, filter cake growth and more.
-As an integral component of premium drilling fluid products, Gilsonite actively improves drilling efficiency while reducing costs and the HSE effects associated with most drilling fluid additives. Gilsonite is the only drilling fluid additive that provides all these benefits: Controls fluid loss and leakage Stabilizes shale Prevents lost circulation Stabilizes holes to increase wellbore stability Reduces differential sticking Reduces Promotes Effective Filter Cake Growth Performs in Oil and Water Based Drilling Muds Performs in HP/HT Environments Reduces HSE Risk Prevents Damage to Gilsonite Permeable formations with a physical and forms a chemical bond, creating an effective seal preventing the passage of drilling fluid. By uniquely acting as a flexible and rigid plugging agent, Gilsonite controls fluid loss and leakage, prevents lost circulation, and protects reactive and less reactive shell surfaces even at elevated downhole temperatures. Proven Well Enhancement HP/HT wells, shale and pressure zones require specialized drilling fluids and well enhancement techniques. Natural gilsonite has significant health benefits over synthetic products. Gilsonite is: Non-toxic (unlike coal or fly ash) Non-carcinogenic Non-mutagenic Gilsonite is safe to handle, use and store. Compared to alternative products, Gilsonite offers comparable or better performance at a much lower cost. In water-based soil (WBM) applications, gilsonite performance compares favorably with sulfonated asphalt while costing up to 40% less.
- A new standard for speed and robustness in construction concrete expansion.
Gilsonites unique properties make it an integral part of the production of hardboard impregnated with asphalt, known as concrete expansion. Asphalt-impregnated lightweight boards made from Gilsonite have the highest asphalt content in the industry, so they always meet ASTM standards. For Concrete Expansion Joints, we offer a special grade of Gilsonite sized so that additional grinding is not required for introduction into the slurry tank. This means higher quality, streamlined processes and better project integrity. Because gilsonite is naturally hydrophobic, it accelerates the release of water as the substrate forms. When the board is heat-pressed, the adhesive properties of gilsonite bind the fibers together, forming a stronger board.
- Gilsonite Ink and Painting.
Superior binding and soot dispersion make Gilsonite the ideal ink additive. Its natural properties make it a high-performance ink additive for newspapers, magazines and other premium quality publications. When you read a newspaper or magazine, you are reaping the benefits of Gilsonite. Most newspapers printed in the United States, Europe, Japan, and other places around the world rely on gilsonite to produce the "no friction" ink that their readers are demanding. Jet black in many print magazines and high-quality publications would not have been possible without the excellent carbon black dispersing properties of gilsonite.
- Gilsonite also provides economic performance.
It is more cost effective than hydrocarbon and phenolic resins. Due to the unique properties of gilsonite, it provides an excellent color bond to almost any material that needs to be protected from the elements. It is an important high-performance, low-cost paint additive for anti-corrosion paints, underbody paints and pipe coatings.
- Asphalt and Paving Gilsonite Use Gilsonite in asphalt binder and recycled asphalt to build sustainable roads.
High performance road surfaces have long been made possible by the use of Gilsonite. The superior properties of Gilsonite make it the most suitable modifier for hot mix pavement and pavement sealers. As an asphalt binder modifier, Gilsonite's unique properties make the road less susceptible to high temperature performance and deformation problems. When these modified binders are used in recycled asphalt pavement, gilsonite adds time to the old asphalt, making it easier to use more of this recycled material. Asphalt binder modified with gilsonite will produce a sturdier road that can be about 20 percent thinner than other pavement information for this, as a composite modifier, gilsonite can be added directly to a hot mix plant without additional equipment. Is. Gilsonites excellent bonding properties will create a high strength, high performance pavement that also resists water stripping.
- Foundry: Foundries around the world have been known for decades that when molten iron fires meets foundry sand, gilsonite makes the difference.
For your complex high-value iron castings, Gilsonite performs like no other carbon additive. Gilsonites is inherently a superior properties mean higher quality castings with better finishes and fewer imperfections. Generates three times more gas than sea coal for better mold release High Gloss Carbon for a better finish Reducing atmosphere for less reaction between mold and casting for less imperfections 6-Cementing: Gilsonite is an effective loser The circulation is material that provides territorial isolation and minimizes environmental risk. The addition of gilsonite during cementing operations improves properties that are important for effectively reinforcing the casing, separating hydrocarbon formations, and preventing annular gas flow. With its unique physical and chemical properties, Gilsonite offers several significant advantages in slurry and cement that are unmatched by any other single additive.
