Gilsonite in Chemicals
Gilsonite combines with many other chemicals and materials that take advantage of its unique physical and chemical properties.
Binder and coating applications in metallurgical,wood products, refractary and other industries further demonstrate the versatility and usefulness of this remarkable material.
This material is a non-toxic, non- carcinogenic and cost-effective replacement for natural rubber .Gilsonite is used as a solidifying agent in metal alloys. This material has a high carbon percentage which creates a reductive environment when added to melted steel. In shaping metals, Gilsonite is again used as a solidifying agent.
Moreover, compared to other polymers, Gilsonite produces less smoke in high temperatures. Gilsonite as a solidifying and mixing material is used in steel desulfurization process. This material has volatile ingredients which facilitate the mixing of desulfurization chemical materials such as magnesium and hydrated lime.Moreover, it increases the percentage of the carbon added to steel and as soon as oxidation happens in high temperature, it creates a reductive environment.In manufacturing of products such as clutch plates and brake parts is used using Gilsonite which is basically as a solidifying agent. This material is also used as anadditive for increasing paint,s shade and in some cases for reducing friction.
Furthermore, Gilsonite is used as insulated coatings for pipes. This material is a nontoxic gum with excellent adhesiveness. Anti-corrosion coatings which are chemically ineat can be produced from Gilsonite. In the wood and carpentry industry, Gilsonite is used as a solidifying agent (glue). This material is water proof and corrosion resistant.Since Gilsonite is a very hard resin, it produces very hard products. This material is also used in making paints and because of its chemical properties it penetrates the surface of the objects which should be glued together. Moreover, a sticky material is produced from Gilsonite which is resistant against the destructing effects of ultraviolet light.
Chemical Properties of Gilsonite
- high asphaltene content
- high solubility in organic solvents
- high purity and consistent properties
- high molecular weight
- high nitrogen content
These chemical properties have given Gilsonite a wide range of uses like:
metal alloy processing, refractory, steel desulfurization, friction products, wood products, waterproof pipe coatings, and adhesives.
natural asphalt also is used as a binder and mixing agent in steel desulfurization products. It has consistent volatiles that promotes mixing of the other desulfurization chemicals like magnesium and hydrated lime. It will also add carbon content to the steel and will provide a reductive atmosphere as it oxidizes at high temperatures.natural asphalt is used to make waterproof coatings for water pipes. It is a natural non-toxic resin with excellent adhesion properties. A corrosion-resistant, chemically inert pipe coating can be made from Gilsonite. The wood products industry also uses Gilsonite as a binder. It has excellent waterproofing and weather resistant properties. Because Gilsonite is a hard resin it will make a very hard particleboard.
Gilsonite in Rubber Industry
Because of the presence of sulfur in the bitumen, the band that creates the molecule is 8-fold and reduces rupture and rupture, which is very important for rubber production. This additive makes it superbly bonded, and even after mixing with bitumen, it has a lot of rubber properties, which can only be split or split by hot-pressing. Bituminous rubber is more durable and has a durability and durability in the sun’s rays 2 times more than conventional tires, thus preventing tear, breakage and spraying of rubber.
Gilsonite in Wood Industry
Gilsonite is used as a waterproof cover for wood. The color of the liner is called shapan.
Gilsonite in Steel Prouduct
Gilsonite is used as a solidifying agent in metal alloys ,This material has a high carbon percentage which creates a reductive environment when added to melted steel.
