Oxidized Bitumen 90/15
Oxidized Bitumen 90/15
At the Oxidized bitumen 90/15 production reactor, during the air acting, the mixture of the two Vacuum Bottom (VB) and Vacuum Silas (VS) feedstock is put under a special degree of pressure and temperature between 200-300˚C of which the hydrogen atoms content in bitumen molecular oxidize to the oxygen of the air, and obtains with higher hydrocarbons polymerization reaction that has lower penetration and higher softening points than the primary pure bitumen. This kind of bitumen 90/15 has the softening point of 90 and permeability of 15.
Oxidized bitumen is a specially formulated plastic for construction. Oxidized bitumen characterized by being a product of great thermal amplitude. Oxidized bitumen has the flexibility to cold, has no sag at high temperatures, and has good adhesion. It can be applied to any kind of work. Oxidized bitumen is available in different grades. Bitumen 90/15 is produced by either Continuous or Staggered Blowing Process. Heated Penetration Grade Bitumen under controlled environment is blown with air which controls the Oil Content in the Bitumen while it oxidized. The different grades for suited applications produced are designated by two numbers to indicate the mid-points of their softening point and penetration ranges.
As said before, Bitumen 90/15 is based on petroleum bitumen which is made by blowing bitumen 60/70 by very hot air. In addition, the numbers relate to the midpoint of the material’s softening point and penetration respectively. The softening point value measured by the Ring and Ball method as determined by ASTM D36. Also, the penetration value is in 1/10 mm as determined by IP49 or ASTM- D5.

Recommendations for Handling / Storage
The heating of packaged bitumen is a critical phase in most of the final uses. Typically, the packaged material is heated and melted in boilers out on site.
However, control at the heating phase is very important in terms of health and safety as well as in maintaining the quality of the product.
A note must be taken of the maximum safe handling temperature of 230 C and this should not be abused. Bitumen is a poor conductor of heat, consequently, control of the heating phase is of paramount importance.
The Oxidized Asphalt material should be broken up prior to placement in the boiler. This exposes a larger surface area to the heat and encourages a more even heating regime. Without the larger exposed surface area, aggressive heating at the base and sides of the boiler may well result in localized overheating, altering the characteristics of the modified bitumen, and potentially causing thermal cracking of the bitumen, creating the release of low lash vapors. The flashpoint of the oxidized bitumen then becomes irrelevant; as these low flash vapors determine the fire risk.
Melted bitumen should not be left in the boiler and reheated from cold, as there is then a high potential for localized overheating around the heating area (lack of convection means poor heat transfer) and potential development of a pressurized pocket of low flash vapors.
Be aware of the placement of any temperature monitoring or control devices. As a result of the poor thermal conductivity of the bitumen, a thermometer in the bitumen some distance from the heat source could read significantly different (even hundreds of degrees) from the true temperature of the bitumen near the heat source.
For Health and Safety information, please make reference to the relevant MSDS.

Workers should wear protective masks, gloves, and goggles during application. The asphalt can be removed from equipment and tools with kerosene or gasoline. Care should be taken when heating oxidized Bitumen 150/5 to avoid overheating.
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.

Granul Gilsonite
Granul Gilsonite Description
HJ Oil Group Supplies Granul Gilsonite with a diameter of 30 to 40 meshes and ashes from 0% to 25%.
Gilsonite mines are respectively the largest reserves in the United States, Canada, Iraq, Russia, Venezuela, China, Australia, Mexico, Albania, and the Philippines (USGS, 2007; USGS, 2016a). The largest Gilsonite reserves in the world are located in Utah and Colorado states that have been estimated to contain the reserve of 45 million tons, according to the US Geological Survey (Pruitt, 1961; USGS, 2016a,b). Overall, about 65 percent of Gilsonite reserves are located in the North American continent consist of the United States and Canada, and Iran accounts for about 15 percent of these reserves as the third largest natural bitumen reserve globally (USGS, 2007; USGS, 2016a).

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.
Packaging of Lump Gilsonite
One metric ton new jumbo bags.
These Products can be palletized, shrank, and wrapped according to customer’s request.
