Frequently asked questions
Gilsonite is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon resin that is primarily used as an additive in various industries, including asphalt modification, drilling fluids, paint and coatings, and rubber production. It is mined from surface deposits and is highly valued for its high thermal stability, durability, and eco-friendly properties.
Gilsonite is used as a modifier in asphalt to improve its heat resistance, elasticity, and durability. When added to asphalt, it helps reduce potholes, cracking, and wear and tear on roads, especially in areas with extreme weather conditions and heavy traffic.
Gilsonite is primarily found in the United States, particularly in Utah, and in smaller quantities in countries such as Iran. It is typically extracted through surface mining techniques.
Gilsonite is a non-toxic, biodegradable, and eco-friendly material. It is derived from natural sources, and its use in products like asphalt and coatings helps reduce carbon emissions and resource consumption over time. Additionally, Gilsonite-modified asphalt reduces the need for frequent road repairs, contributing to sustainability.
Gilsonite is added to drilling fluids to improve their viscosity, fluid loss control, and thermal stability. It ensures that drilling operations remain efficient, even in extreme temperatures, and helps stabilize the wellbore by reducing fluid loss into the formation.
Yes, Gilsonite is safe to use in industrial applications. It is non-toxic, and when used according to industry standards, it does not pose a risk to human health or the environment. It is also biodegradable, making it a safer alternative to synthetic chemicals in many applications.
Yes, Gilsonite is a recyclable material. In asphalt, for instance, Gilsonite-modified asphalt can be reclaimed and reused when roads are repaved, contributing to the circular economy.
Gilsonite is used in a variety of industries, including:
Road construction (asphalt modification)
Oil and gas (drilling fluids)
Paints and coatings
Rubber and plastics manufacturing
Waterproofing and insulation
Gilsonite is superior to many other asphalt modifiers due to its high melting point, thermal stability, and resistance to oxidation. It helps create more durable, long-lasting roads that can withstand heavy traffic and extreme weather conditions, making it a highly effective modifier for high-performance asphalt.
