Tag: Gilsonite Magnetic Properties

Gilsonite, also known as natural asphalt, asphaltum, or uintaite, is a naturally occurring resinous hydrocarbon with a wide range of industrial uses of gilsonite thanks to its unique chemical and physical properties. One of its most remarkable features is its magnetic nature, which makes it valuable in various advanced applications. This mineral is often described as a naturally occurring  ferromagnetic material. The  ferromagnetic behavior is due to the presence of iron in the uintaite structure. Iron is a ferromagnetic element and its presence in the uintaite structure results in the material being ferromagnetic. For further information, we suggest that you ... Read more
