Gilsonite is a key ingredient in our products. It differentiates Asphalt Systems from others, it is a trade name for Unitahite or Unitaite. It is a hydrocarbon-based mineral product. Until recently it wasn't considered a coal, oil product, or asphalt. Now it is recognized as an asphalt.Today gilsonite is used in the electrical industry.It is still used to line pipes and tanks because of its resistance to chemicals. It is used to insulate underground pipes for steam and hot water.it is olso uses in ink paints and varnishes.

A generic name widely used for a black, lustrous, carbonaceous resin classified as an asphaltite. An important characteristic of gilsonite is its softening-point temperature . In oil-base muds, it is used as a fluid-loss control agent. Being a hydrocarbon, it is naturally wetted by the oil. In water-base muds, it is used as a shale-stabilizing additive and is difficult to evaluate unless tested at or above its softening point. As a hydrocarbon, the powder must be coupled to water by using a glycol or similar water-wetter.

Gilsonite is a natural, resinous, hydrocarbon ore. This "natural asphalt" or "natural bitumen" is similar to hard petroleum asphalt; in mass it is a shiny, black substance, similar in appearance to the mineral Obsidian. This unique mineral is used in more than 160 products, primarily in dark-colored printing inks and paints, oil well drilling muds and cements, asphalt modifiers, foundry sand additives, and a wide variety of chemical products.

Gilsonite Gilsonite, that`s also name "uintahite", "asphaltum" or asphaltite, is a naturally occurring solid hydrocarbon, a form of asphalt (or bitumen) with a relatively high melting temperature The mineral Gilsonite is categorized as a solvable material in oil solutions such as CS2 or Trichloroethylene Major component of Gilsonite is Carbon, while it contains several other elements including Sulphur and Nitrogenand some volatile matters . This inimitable mineral is used in more than 160 products, primarily in dark-colored printing inks and paints, oil welldrilling muds and cements, asphalt modifiers , foundry sand additives, and a wide variety of chemical products . A common application of Gilsonite is to use in bitumen blending. This application is fully practiced in countries such as China, India & Iran
