What is Gilsonite?
Gilsonite, also known as natural bitumen, is a non-toxic, high-purity hydrocarbon resin valued for its exceptional binding properties. It is widely used in asphalt production, waterproofing, and oil well drilling, seamlessly blending with petroleum-based materials. As a cost-effective alternative to synthetic binders, gilsonite enhances durability and performance across multiple industries.
Key Properties of Gilsonite
• High-purity resin with low ash content
• Superior thermal and chemical resistance to oxidation and moisture
• Easily soluble in organic solvents and blends well with petroleum-based materials
• Environmentally friendly with no hazardous heavy metals
• ASTM & ISO compliant, meeting global industrial standards
Applications of Gilsonite in Global Industries
