Gilsonite is a type of asphaltite and a kind of solid hydrocarbon bitumen that forms naturally. This product is a natural hydrocarbon resin with many properties, is used in asphalt and even printing ink. Our company produces gilsonite mineral for customers with high quality and reasonable prices. Our gilsonite is one of the best samples of gilsonite that has been tested in many laboratories and can easily attract the attention of many buyers.
What Is Bitumen Used For?
Bitumen also undergoes other processes; it is converted into different types such as blown bitumen, solution, polymer, etc. Each of them has many applications in different industries. Petroleum bitumen, distillation: petroleum and distillation bitumen are both obtained from the distillation of crude oil. In the distillation process which takes place in two stages; Lighter materials such as gasoline and then diesel is first extracted from the bitumen at high pressure, the result is a combination of fine asphalt particles in the fluid. It can be said that bitumen is an additive that can be mixed very well with petroleum bitumen and after mixing, it can have high viscosity properties and this viscosity causes it to have many applications.
1_ One application of bitumen is to protect steel pipes against corrosion, which is used in various industries.
2_ Bitumen is mostly used in asphalt construction and the road construction industry. This material can be mixed with sand particles and used as a road surface.
3_ This bitumen also has several applications in the cement, drilling, and coke industries.
4_ Bitumen is used in the construction industry as a moisture insulator because this material has waterproof properties. It is interesting to know that to insulate the roofs and floors of the bathroom, bitumen is combined with a sack to stabilize the bitumen.
Who First invented bitumen?
One of the most common methods of transportation is road transportation, which is used today in both urban and interurban routes. Smooth and suitable roads for land vehicles are one of the main requirements for ground transportation, which may seem very simple and rudimentary at first glance. But if you close your eyes for a moment and imagine a situation where the roads are all dirt and full of rocks, then you will realize the importance of the current asphalt and smooth roads. Here is a brief history of asphalt, asphalt is a French word that, in addition to asphalt concrete, also means bitumen. Asphalt mixture has been used for many years, and it should be noted that the history of asphalt and the construction of the first asphalt road dates back to 604-625 BC. John Metcalfe was the first person that complete the asphalt on the road. Asphalt continued to evolve, modern asphalt roads were invented by two engineers, John Loudon McAdam and Thomas Telford. These two Scottish engineers can be considered the inventors of modern asphalt today. After 1900 and in the twentieth century, attention to laboratory controls increased, and more tests were performed on asphalt; Increased traffic on the roads has led to the need for more resistance to asphalt and the search for ways to prevent cracking.
