Micronized Gilsonite Powder

Micronized Gilsonite Powder Description

HJ Oil Group Supplies Micronized Gilsonite powder with a diameter of 80 to 400 mesh and ashes from 0% to 25%.

The company is taking advantage of experts who are capable of processing Gilsonite lump to alter them to powder with the size 80 to 400 mesh and packing according to customer’s order.

Gilsonite is a Soft Rock, meaning that it can be simply made into Gilsonite Powder. A 200m2 industrial unit is sufficient to set up a grinding mill, while complimentary packaging equipment is also necessary to wrap Gilsonite into different packaging, from 1 MT jumbo bags to 25 kg worker bags.
The technology of grinding minerals is vast and advanced expertise which has been developed in different countries. The tricky part of Gilsonite pulverizing is about one of its principal characteristics, i.e. having BITUMEN CONTENT inside. Applying energy into natural bitumen releases the bitumen content, therefore taking the rock asphalt under grinding, makes it a sticky powder, especially if the temperature is not properly controlled during the process.
Depending on the method of grinding, Gilsonite can be made in different mesh sizes, starting from 30 to 400 for Simple crushing machinery. Mesh size goes up to 500 – 1000 Mesh in case a Fusion unit is added.
Still many claims to supply a 3,000 Mesh Gilsonite Product which is a myth, considering there is no economical way to measure such dust particle size.
Another challenge is an environmental hazard. Pollution resulting from grinding the natural bitumen can end up in stopping the facility from production by the authorities in many countries. Still, There are primitive (using back filters) and advanced ways (using output Catalysts) to rectify the issue.

Lump Gilsonite

Lump Gilsonite Description

Lump Gilsonite, or Natural Asphalt, Natural Bitumen is a natural, resinous hydrocarbon This natural asphalt is similar to a hard petroleum asphalt and is often called a natural asphalt, asphaltite, uintaite, or asphaltum. Natural asphalt is derived from the natural mutation of petroleum. This mutation happened a million years again under the influence of bacteria. This bacterial decomposition of petroleum resulted in reducing the content of saturated hydrocarbons, mainly n-alkalenes and light oil which became heavier and more viscous, taking the form of asphalt. It is a natural product a bituminous limestone in which carbonate of lime and pure natural asphalt are most intimately combined by a neutral agency. It is as bitumen created in the process of crude oil processing. It is native substances of variable color, hardness, and volatility, composed principally of the elements carbon and hydrogen and sometimes associated with mineral matter and essentially free of gas. 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 similar in appearance to the mineral obsidian. It is brittle and can be easily crushed into a dark brown powder. Gilsonite is found below the earth’s surface in vertical veins or seams that are generally between two and six feet in width but can be as wide as 28 feet.
Due to the narrow mining face, Gilsonite is mined today, much like it was
50 or 100 years ago. The primary difference is that modern miners use pneumatic chipping hammers and mechanical hoists.

Gilsonite In Industry

Gilsonite Usage In Industry

Industry Usage of Gilsonite consists of inks & Paints, Asphalt, Isolation, Chemical, Coating, Foundry, and construction.

Gilsonite Usage in Inks & Paints

Because of the unique properties of Gilsonite, it gives the paint an excellent bond to almost any material that needs to be protected from the elements. It is a critical high-performance, low-cost paint additive for anticorrosive paints, underbody paints, and pipe coatings.

The superior performance of Gilsonite means you can find it in the majority of wood stains produced in the U.S. In this application, the unique properties of Gilsonite make it both a binder to protect the wood, and a pigment that gives a deep, rich color that won’t fade over time. Gilsonite paint additive is Naturally Better and you just can’t get this performance with any other material—natural or synthetic.

A paint consisting essentially of 20 gallons of petroleum solvent, 10 gallons of linseed oil, 10 gallons turpentine, pounds ofGilsonite pigment, 4 gallons varnish mixture consisting of 17.8% pentaerythritol rosin ester, 30.8% dehydrated castor oil, 1.4% of a mixture of lead, cobalt and manganese naphthenates, 1-gallon wetting agent consisting essentially of salts of petroleum sulfonic acids, 2 quarts of drier, and 1 pint of a hydrocarbon silicon penetrating oil, obtained by heating a mixture of finely ground silicon dioxide under pressure to a temperature of about 300 F. with a distillate product obtained by subjectingGilsonite to fractional distillation, said distillate product being that fraction which distills at a temperature range of about 430 F. to 438 F.

Gilsonite is widely used as the primary carbon black wetting agent for black news inks and headset and toner inks. PUB Gilsonite Resin competes advantageously with hydrocarbon resins, phenolic resins.

Advantages of Using Gilsonite In Inks & Paints

• Superior binding properties for many materials
• UV light stability
• Fade-resistant transparent pigment gives a deep, rich color to wood stains

Gilsonite Usage In Asphalt

Gilsonite makes roads stronger to last longer.

As an asphalt binder modifier, the unique properties of Gilsonite make a road that is less susceptible to high-temperature and deformation performance issues. When these modified binders are used in recycled asphalt pavements, Gilsonite adds back what time has taken from the old asphalt, making it easier to use more of this recycled material. The Gilsonite-modified asphalt binder will produce a stronger road that can be thinner by nearly 20 percent compared with other pavements. For more information about this application, please contact us.

As an aggregate modifier, Gilsonite can be added directly at the hot mix plant with no additional equipment. The excellent bonding properties of Gilsonite will produce a high-strength, high-performance pavement that also resists water stripping.

Advantages of Using Gilsonite In Asphalt

• High strength and durability
• Superior deformation performance
• Reduced pavement thickness
• Reduced temperature susceptibility
• Increased resistance to water stripping

Gilsonite Usage In Isolation

Gilsonite in isolation is most used to the production of isogamy.
By mixing Gilsonite, calcium carbonate, and bitumen with stretch enhancer oil, it is produced by isogamy that creates composite and increases the thermal resistance of the rubble and creates a stable and homogeneous coating.

Advantages of Using Gilsonite In Isolation

• Increased shear strength
• Increased resistance to the movement of layers
• Low-temperature flexibility is maintained
• Reduced the tendency of the isogamy to move and use on sloping surfaces.
• Reduced fluctuations at high temperatures
• The combination of low-temperature flexibility and high-temperature shear strength and resistance to motion

Gilsonite is widely Used in the production of glue and sealant. This material is a good lubricant and in combination with other chemicals, various products can be obtained. Some uses of Gilsonite in chemicals is in Ceramic production, Rubber industry, Wood industry, Steel product.

Gilsonite Usage In Coating Industry

Gilsonite is used for preventing the pipes from corrosion and it acts as an additive in pipe isolator, which increases the pipe life significantly. Gilsonite is used in different industries as a resin for waterproofing purposes, for example in the Automobile industry it is used as an additive in the coating car’s underbody.

Gilsonite Usage In Foundry & Construction

For your complex, high-value iron castings, Gilsonite performs like no other carbon additive. Gilsonite’s naturally superior properties mean high-quality castings with better finish and fewer imperfections. Gilsonite Can combine with coal and other ingredients as an additive in foundry sands to ensure the quality of the molded part. The lower gas evolution should reduce the ventilation load on the pouring floor. The physical property relationships developed in new mixes were confirmed by sand using Gilsonite as an additive. Gilsonite is a carbonate additive too and can be added to sands of foundry and play the role of a strong adhesive for them.

Advantages of Using Gilsonite In Foundry & Construction

• Three times as much gas generated vs. sea-coal for better mold release
• High lustrous carbon for a better finish
• The reductive atmosphere for less reaction between mold and casting for fewer imperfections

Oil & Gas

Gilsonite In Oil & Gas

In the oil and gas industry, drilling fluids or liquids perform a diversity of operations that influence the drilling rapidity, efficiency, safety, and the cost of drilling operators. An important characteristic of gilsonite that makes it noteworthy for drilling fluid usages is its softening-point temperature. There are many types of drilling fluid systems available such as water-base muds, oil-base muds, stable foam muds, air, or gas base muds from which the right system may be chosen. In water-based muds, it is used as a shale-stabilizing additive and is difficult to evaluate unless tested at or above its softening point. In oil-based muds, it is used as a fluid-loss control agent.

With unmatched benefits in cementing and drilling fluids, Gilsonite is proven under pressure.
With a unique blend of strength, flexibility, bonding, and high-temperature capability, Gilsonite adds properties that increase performance in cementing and drilling fluids in a way no other single additive can.

Gilsonite is used in drilling mud fluids and oil well cementing. Gilsonite, in a range of softening points and particle sizes, is a standard ingredient in oil-based drilling muds used in shales and other difficult geological formations. The addition of specially-treated Gilsonite to water-based drilling fluids helps minimize hole washout by stabilizing troublesome shales and seals off highly permeable sands while reducing torque and drag.  The addition of Gilsonite to oil well cement reduces slurry weight without loss of compressive strength and acts as an effective bridging and plugging agent to seal fractures in weak formations while cementing.  Also, Gilsonite use in Mud drilling according to FLC ” Filtrate Loss Control ” or  ” Fluid Loss Control ” in oil-base mud.

Gilsonite

Gilsonite Description

Gilsonite is a naturally occurring glossy black asphaltic, solid hydrocarbon resin with low specific gravity. It occurs in its very pure natural state in a mineral called Uintaite. Gilsonite or Natural Asphalt is a natural, resinous hydrocarbon found in northeastern Utah. Natural Asphalt is a unique natural hydrocarbon high in asphaltenes and nitrogen compounds so it is a granular solid that is fully compatible with bitumen. It can be melted into hot bitumen, added during the hot-mix manufacturing process, or blended into a preservation treatment.

This natural asphalt is similar to a hard petroleum asphalt so it’s other names are natural asphalt, asphaltite, uintaite, or asphaltum. Gilsonite is soluble in aromatic and aliphatic solvents, as well as petroleum asphalt. Due to its unique compatibility, natural asphalt is frequently used to harden softer petroleum products. natural asphalt in mass is a shiny, black substance similar in appearance to the mineral obsidian. It is brittle and it can easily crush into a dark brown powder.

Gilsonite is below the earth’s surface in vertical veins or seams that are generally between two and six feet in width but also can be as wide as 28 feet. The veins are nearly parallel to each other and they are in orient-shape in a northwest to southeast direction. They extend many miles in length and as deep as 1500 feet.  The vein will show up on the surface as a thin outcropping and gradually widen as it goes deeper. Due to the narrow mining face, natural asphalt is mined today, much like it was 50 or 100 years ago. The primary difference is that modern miners use pneumatic chipping hammers and mechanical hoists.

Bitumen Coating

Bitumen Coating

Bitumen coating compositions having substantially improved application and drying properties and producing coatings of improved properties including resistance to ultraviolet rays and alligatoring resulting therefrom said coating compositions comprising volatile solvent solutions of a bitumen coating material having softening point between 110 F To 250 F. The bitumen coating are also characteristically non-viscous materials which are not thixotropic and are therefore ordinarily applied as thin films. The bitumen coating compositions may also contain filler materials which tend to settle from the non-thixotropic compositions after storage for only a short time. It has been proposed in the past to add inert colloidal fillers such as silica to obtain thixotropic properties and thicker films on the application of the compositions. However, even such inert fillers tend to affect only solution properties and generally exist in the finished coating as an expensive additive that does not benefit other properties of the coating.

Bitumen Pipe Coating

Bitumen pipe coat can be used both externally and internally on carbon steel pipes. It is usually black, and when applied properly, this coating offers outstanding cathodic protection needed for almost all structural steel pipes situated underground. It is regarded as one of the least expensive ways to provide cathodic protection to pipes. It is also the least complex coating process, making it suitable for casing pipes like in road bore.

Bitumen Paint

Asphalt paint is produced with asphalt as the main material and gasoline as the solvent and through the processes of material selection, dissolving, and sealing in the container. It is in a flowing or semi-flowing state and has a high viscosity and good durability, and its use needs no fire melting. The said asphalt paint is used in sealing roofing, sandwiched layer, etc. In various building engineering.

Bitumen Adhesive, Bitumen Glue

Bituminous adhesive glue is used in cold gluing of construction material in particular for its watertight properties. The known glue is thixotropic, which means that it becomes fluid when shaken, stirred, or otherwise agitated and sets again to a gel when allowed to stand. The thixotropic properties of the known glue are obtained by the presence of both the polymerized oil in combination with the ethyl-vinyl-acetate copolymer resin (EVA) and the non-polymerized oil in combination with oil-absorbing fillers. The use of the combination of these compounds has the advantage that it provides the thixotropic properties without having to use some organic solvents.

Bitumen Felt

An asphalt felt belongs to the field of the building materials. The utility model is characterized in that a solid bitumen thin layer is attached on one surface of the asphalt felt; when the utility model is used, the liquefied bitumen can be first brushed on the top of the storied building using a brush and then one surface of the asphalt felt which the solid bitumen thin layer is attached on the top of the storied building, and the solid bitumen thin layer is syncretized with the liquefied bitumen on the top of the storied building by using a burner to deliver heat with resulting in that the asphalt felt is uniformly covered without causing waste, thus not only enhancing the effect of preventing the seepage of the rainwater but also correspondingly reducing the workload due to that the amount of the used bitumen is reduced. The utility model has a reasonable design and can be used conveniently.

Bitumen Tape

The bitumen tape of the invention is suitable for sanitary and building applications for sealing against water and in vehicles for sealing or for sound insulation especially for the construction or repair of roofs, covering joints, or for the tight connection between masonry or concrete and installing parts like the window frame or sheet metal. The width of the bitumen tape preferably from 24 to 105 mm.

Bitumen Sheet

The bitumen sheet material is transported to a construction or use site, and the sheet material is cut to the desired lengths. The releasable casting film material is removed to expose the tackified surface, and the tacky surface then placed, i.e. Pressed, against the masonry or other surfaces it is designed to protect, and held in place by the tacky nature of the exposed surface of the bitumen layer.

Bitumen Joint Sealer

Bitumen joint sealer dispersion as the sealant to male and/or female sections, even. Of the water and assembly of the joint under sufficient axial pressure to force out some of the sealants on both inside and outside of the joint. Used for sealing of drinking and wastewater pipes, telephone conduits, expansion joints, cracks in masonry, etc. Good adhesion to pipe surfaces of all types is obtd. No displacement of adhesive during assembly of joint occurs, and there is no deformation or embrittlement during long periods of use. Efficient sealing over large contact areas is also obtd.

Bitumen Sealant

Bitumen sealant is a single component, neutral curing, high modulus, fast curing speed. And good adhesive capacity on many base material, having excellent weather ability, And resistance to the bitumen sealant can be applied in any season and easy to apply. There is high bonding strength, non-corrosive, have a strong seal with the majority of Construction materials.

Bitumen Crack Sealer

Crack sealer is deep enough, a grout material, such as a mortar or cement, is used to assist in filling these cracks. In these instances, the grout material is placed in the crack and allowed to harden. Thereafter, the asphalt sealer is placed in the crack over top of the grout material to completely fill the crack and level out the paved surface. This can also create durability issues in that existing grout fillers that are used in crack repair applications often have significant shrinkage issues. Thus, while an asphalt sealer used to help fill a crack may initially be level with the surface being repaired when the grout material shrinks, the asphalt sealer will drop into the crack as the level of the grout material recedes. The asphalt sealer thus is no longer flush with the upper paved surface and often falls into the crack itself.

Bitumen Metal Surface

Bitumen metal surface coat, preparation of the surface is of great importance and will influence the degree of adhesion obtained along with the life of the coating. All surfaces must be sound, stable, and thoroughly cleaned. Anti-corrosive bitumen may be applied on slightly damp but not wet surfaces. For excellent results apply on the dry surface only.

Bitumen Packing

Bitumen in 1MT Jumbo Bag and 300kg BituBag Packing

Bitumen Packing like Bitubags and Jumbo Bags can be a cost-efficient solution to alternate for Bitumen drums. Bitubags can be in two types: 1000 kg and 300kg.
The 300kg Bitubags contain a two-layer cover, which the first tears up and the second burns and melt in the destination tanker (reservoir) Transportation and stuffing: each 20 feet container can hold 18 Jumbo bags (1 MT) or 70 Bitubag (300 kg) so the 300kg bags result in more cost-effective land and ocean freight costs.

Bitumen in 1MT Jumbo Bag

To transport bitumen anywhere, a reliable and efficient logistic system is needed – using the fewest special infrastructures, lowest possible total energy consumption, as well as safe and easy storage and handling. For this purpose, the Bitumen Bag Packing System was created.
It allows you to produce, pack, store, transport and sells bitumen independently of seasonal demand, fluctuation, or logistical issues.
It enables the producer to store and use bitumen at any time, cost-effectively, and in any quantity that will meet your requirements.

1. cooling & packing unit

• The Cooling & Packing Unit (CPU) cools the bitumen down to the packing temperature. The process ensures a stable filling temperature.
• and is designed for the safe, continuous filling of the Bitumen Bag with paving bitumen.
• An electronic control system provides for the exact weighing and the complete monitoring and registration of the product as well as the weight of each individual bag.

2- bitumen bag

• The bag is designed as a self-stabilizing container made of plastic material, consisting of a multi-layer outer bag (flexible recyclable fabric) and an inner liner (special-purpose film).
• The Bitumen Bag can carry over 1,000 kg of paving bitumen. Its shape and volume is optimized for maximum loading.
• The bag can be transported by any common transport system (truck, standard container, rail, ship).
• The bag is UV-protected and suitable for every climate. It and can be stored for up to 12 months.

Logistic of Bitumen Bag Packing

The Bitumen Bag Packing System is equipped to supply large volumes of bitumen. the bitumen processing system and ensures the safe filling of bags where quantities and qualities undergo strict control.
The design of the Bitumen Bag is characterized by economic production costs, greater volume, and high stability. Leading industrial partners produce these standardized bags with a constant high level of quality.

Therefore, bitumen in cold conditions can be transported by conventional trucks or sea containers over distances of many thousand miles from continent to continent.
Bitumen in the jumbo bag is the safest and easy handling from loading to destination. Jumbo bag should be designed for bitumen and if you buy from the market and fill bitumen will become fat or collapse. Normally design of bitumen in the jumbo bag is in the bottom the size is bigger than the top and should have the angle to become stable.

Bitumen Classification

Bitumen Classification

Bitumen classification is according to viscosity (degree of fluidity) gradings. The higher the grade, the stiffer the bitumen. Most high performing roads in Australia are built and maintained using bitumen because it is durable and has exceptional waterproofing and adhesive properties. Bitumens used in road construction and maintenance are refined and blended to meet strict road engineering requirements and industry specifications.

Paving Grade Bitumen Class 170

Class 170 bitumen is widely used in sprayed sealing and light asphalt applications to provide durability and fatigue resistance. It is also used to manufacture cutback bitumens, bitumen emulsions, and modified bitumens.

Paving Grade Bitumen Class 240

Class 240 bitumen is for use in sprayed sealing applications where the local road agency has a preference for a slightly more viscous bitumen than Class 170.

Paving Grade Bitumen Class 320

Class 320 bitumen is most commonly used to manufacture asphalt mixes. Due to its higher viscosity, stiffer asphalt mixes can be produced to improve resistance to shoving and other problems associated with higher temperatures and traffic loads.

Paving Grade Bitumen Class 450

Class 450 bitumen is for use in the manufacture of asphalt mixes where the local road agency has a preference for a slightly more viscous bitumen than Class 320.

Bitumen Class 600

Class 600 bitumen is primarily used to manufacture extra heavy-duty asphalt pavements that need to endure substantial traffic loadings.

Storage & Handling

The storage of bitumens for prolonged periods at elevated temperatures should be avoided as quality may be adversely affected. As a general rule, bitumen should be stored at the lowest temperature that enables practical use. For normal operations, such as blending and transferring liquid bitumen, temperatures of 10°C to 40°C above the minimum pumping temperature are recommended.

Health & Safety

To ensure hot bitumen is used safely and efficiently the following safety precautions must be followed:
– Wear suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times. Full skin protection is required to avoid accidental burns when transferring or handling hot bitumen.
– Always prevent contact between water and hot bitumen by checking the contents of the previous load before loading bituminous products into tankers and by following procedures to avoid violent boil-over of tanks.
– Avoid exposure to fumes by standing back on the gantry or upwind until the vapors have dispersed.
– Minimize bitumen fume by heating bitumen and asphalt products to the recommended temperatures.
– Minimize the use of diesel when cleaning equipment as this contributes to the bitumen fume.
