Gilsonite micronized bitumen powder
Foulad Machine Delijan Co.
Gilsonite is a kind of natural asphalt in contrast to heavy petroleum asphalts, which is also known by other names such as unitite or asphaltum. This material is a type of solid bitumen and hydrocarbon resin that is compatible with petroleum products and is often used to dilute and thicken these petroleum products.
Gilsonite has a black color and is brittle. Gilsonite micronized powder is easily converted into powder and used in desired dimensions through a special process and by micronized devices.
Applications of Gilsonite
Bitumen production:
Gilsonite powder is used in natural bitumen processing
The smaller the particles of mineral bitumen (gilsonite), the higher the solubility of gilsonite, as a result, the mixing percentage of gilsonite powder with bitumen increases, and the use of micronized gilsonite powder reduces the cooking time or the time of mixing the powder with bitumen and the bitumen production method becomes easier and more optimized with Gilsonite.
Oil industry:
Stabilization of the wall structure and reduction of erosion are among the things that rationalize the use of Gilsonite powder for cementing oil wells.
Print color and ink:
One of the important and fundamental applications of Gilsonite micronized powder is the use in the production of printing ink and color.
Road construction and asphalt:
The use of Gilsonite in asphalt will increase its resistance to heat and humidity and will increase the efficiency of asphalt.
Others:
Also, Gilsonite micronized powders are used in various industries with different applications, such as the production of paints that are usually used to cover external surfaces and increase the resistance of surfaces against acid, and also in casting sand, whose use smooths molds and better separation of the metal from the mo
