Gilsonite - Import export

With a unique blend of strength, flexibility, bonding and high-temperature capability, asphaltum adds properties also increase performance in cementing and drilling fluids in a way no other single additive can. Further,ore, Gilsonit, 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. commercial@pub-ltd.com Whatsapp:00905354837392

Gilsonite is a key ingredient in our products. It differentiates Asphalt Systems from others, it is a trade name for Unitahite or Unitaite. It is a hydrocarbon-based mineral product. Until recently it wasn't considered a coal, oil product, or asphalt. Now it is recognized as an asphalt.Today gilsonite is used in the electrical industry.It is still used to line pipes and tanks because of its resistance to chemicals. It is used to insulate underground pipes for steam and hot water.it is olso uses in ink paints and varnishes.

The physical and chemical properties of Gilsonite :” strength, flexibility, bonding, high-temperature performance, environmental safety – make it an ideal additive for many critical applications. “.In addition, Gilsonite’s characteristics make it ideal as an ink and paint additive, asphalt binder, concrete expansion joints binder, and foundry sand additive In the Oil & Gas industry, it performs as a lost circulation material, enhancing zonal isolation and wellbore integrity, and improving wellbore stability.

Gilsonite is a natural, resinous, hydrocarbon ore. This "natural asphalt" or "natural bitumen" is similar to hard petroleum asphalt; in mass it is a shiny, black substance, similar in appearance to the mineral Obsidian. This unique mineral is used in more than 160 products, primarily in dark-colored printing inks and paints, oil well drilling muds and cements, asphalt modifiers, foundry sand additives, and a wide variety of chemical products.

A generic name widely used for a black, lustrous, carbonaceous resin classified as an asphaltite. An important characteristic of gilsonite is its softening-point temperature . In oil-base muds, it is used as a fluid-loss control agent. Being a hydrocarbon, it is naturally wetted by the oil. In water-base muds, it is used as a shale-stabilizing additive and is difficult to evaluate unless tested at or above its softening point. As a hydrocarbon, the powder must be coupled to water by using a glycol or similar water-wetter.

Iran, possess some of the richest mines of gilsonite and in the recent years Iran has become a major exporter of gilsonite(Natural Asphalt) to India, China and many other countries in the region. Due to its unique compatibility is used in many industries, including road construction, in dark-colored printing inks and paints, polish, oil well drilling mud and cements, asphalt modifiers, foundry sands additives and also used to insulate tanks, tubes, even molding and a wide range of chemical products. When added to asphalt cement or hot mix asphalt in production, it helps produce paving mixes of dramatically increased stability.

Gilsonite is a natural, resinous hydrocarbon, in mass it is a shiny, black substance that is similar in appearance to coal or a hard petroleum asphalt and is often called a natural asphalt , uintaite, asphaltite, , or asphaltum. It is brittle and can be easily crushed into a dark brown powder. Gilsonite is soluble in aliphatic and aromatic solvents, as well as petroleum asphalt and it is mostly used to harden softer petroleum products

Nikan West Gilsonite Mining and Trading Company is one of the leading Iranian exporters, traders, and producers of a wide range of products. Our mine, factory, and warehouses are located in (Gilan-e Gharb County, Kermanshah Province, Iran), and the headquarters of our company is located in Tehran, Iran.

Gilsonit’s unique properties make it important for many oil field drilling fluid products. Recent boom in oil and gas development has increased demand. Gilsonit, in various grades and formulations, has been used to combat borehole instability problems, provide lubricity, especially in highly deviated holes, and more recently as a bridging agent to combat differential pressure sticking and provide a law invasion coring fluid. commercial@pub-ltd.com Whatsapp: 00905354837392 Ms.Mona

Drilling Fluid Grade – An important characteristic of Gilsonit is its softening-point temperature. In oil-base muds. It use as fluid-loss control agent because it`s hydrocarbon properties. It`s naturally wetted by oil. In water base mud, it is used as a shale-stabilizer additive and is difficult to evaluate unless tested at or above its softening point. As a hydrocarbon, powder must be coupled to water by using a glycol or similar water-wetter. commercial@pub-ltd.com
