Alps Granuled Gilsonite
Description:
Granuled Gilsonite is a naturally occurring, solid hydrocarbon resin that has been processed into granular form for ease of handling and application. It is a shiny, black, brittle material with a high softening point and excellent adhesive properties. Granuled Gilsonite is derived from natural deposits, primarily found in the Uinta Basin in northeastern Utah, USA. Its granular form makes it highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Uses:
– Asphalt Modification: Used to enhance the performance of asphalt binders in road construction, improving durability and resistance to deformation.
– Ink and Coatings: Added to inks, paints, and coatings to improve gloss, hardness, and adhesion properties.
– Oil and Gas Drilling: Utilized as an additive in drilling fluids to stabilize boreholes and reduce fluid loss.
– Foundry Sands: Used as a binder in foundry sands for metal casting to improve mold strength and surface finish.
– Adhesives and Sealants: Incorporated into adhesives and sealants to enhance bonding strength and flexibility.
Packing & Shipping:
– Granuled Gilsonite is typically packed in 25 kg multi-wall paper bags, 500-1000 kg jumbo bags, or bulk shipments.
– It can also be supplied in smaller quantities for specific applications.
– Proper safety measures are followed during transportation to ensure compliance with international shipping regulations.
– Storage should be in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality and performance.
