It’s unique chemical and physical properties make Gilsonite a high-performance, multipurpose additive. Gilsonite has an extremely wide range of uses in various industries.
What is Natural Bitumen & Gilsonite
Natural Bitumen is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon resin with properties that enhance the performance of critical applications across multiple industries. This material was discovered in the Uintah Basin in northeastern Utah, U.S of America and for first time Mr. Samuel H. Gilson began to promote it and after which it became known as “Gilsonite”. Todays Gilsonite is a registered trademark of American Gilsonite Company. It’s unique chemical and physical properties make Gilsonite a high-performance, multipurpose additive.
Gilsonite Applications
The unique properties of Gilsonite such as low specific gravity, particle-size distribution, impermeability, resistance to corrosive fluids, chemical inertness, and low water requirements result in a slurry having exceptional bridging properties, low slurry weight, compatibility with other slurry additives, and relatively high compressive strength when compared to other slurries of the same weight.
