Foundry sand - Import export

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.

Gilsonite Gilsonite, that`s also name "uintahite", "asphaltum" or asphaltite, is a naturally occurring solid hydrocarbon, a form of asphalt (or bitumen) with a relatively high melting temperature The mineral Gilsonite is categorized as a solvable material in oil solutions such as CS2 or Trichloroethylene Major component of Gilsonite is Carbon, while it contains several other elements including Sulphur and Nitrogenand some volatile matters . This inimitable mineral is used in more than 160 products, primarily in dark-colored printing inks and paints, oil welldrilling muds and cements, asphalt modifiers , foundry sand additives, and a wide variety of chemical products . A common application of Gilsonite is to use in bitumen blending. This application is fully practiced in countries such as China, India & Iran

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.
