NATURAL BITUMEN (Gilsonite)

 

Bitumen can also occur in nature. Deposits of naturally occurring bitumen form at the bottom of ancient lakes and below the Earth’s surface (Gilsonite), where prehistoric organisms have since decayed and have been subjected to heat and pressure. Natural Bitumen (Gilsonite) reserves are spread over the globe in quite a lot of regions especially within basins. With regards to the geological nature of each area, natural bitumen can be found in different forms.

 

Gilsonite is soluble in aromatic and aliphatic solvents, as well as petroleum asphalt. Due to its unique compatibility, Gilsonite is frequently used to harden softer petroleum products. Gilsonite in mass is a shiny, black substance. It is brittle and can be easily crushed into a dark brown powder. The mineral Gilsonite is categorized as a solvable material in oil solutions such as CS2 or TCE (Trichloroethylene). Major component of Gilsonite is Carbon, while it contains several other elements including Nitrogen and Sulphur and some volatile matters.

Gilsonite is naturally bulk form (Lamp). At the request of the customer it comes in the form of a conventional or micronized powder with various mesh.
