Alps Micronized Gilsonite Powder
Description:
Micronized Gilsonite Powder is a finely ground form of natural Gilsonite, a solid hydrocarbon resin. It is processed into a fine powder with particle sizes typically ranging from a few microns to several hundred microns. This form of Gilsonite retains all the beneficial properties of raw Gilsonite, such as high softening point, excellent adhesion, and chemical resistance, but with enhanced solubility and ease of dispersion in various applications.
Uses:
– Asphalt Modification: Used to improve the performance of asphalt binders in road construction, enhancing 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.
– Rubber and Plastic Additives: Used as a reinforcing agent in rubber and plastic products to improve mechanical properties.
Packing & Shipping:
– Micronized Gilsonite Powder 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.
