Gilsonite, also known as uintaite, is a naturally occurring mineral hydrocarbon that is mined from the earth. It is commonly used in the oil and gas industry as an additive to drilling fluids. Here are some uses of Gilsonite in drilling fluids: Rheology Modifier: Gilsonite can act as a rheology modifier, which means it can help [...]
PE wax stands for Polyethylene Wax. It is a synthetic wax made from polyethylene, a polymer made from ethylene monomers. Polyethylene Wax is commonly used as a processing aid, lubricant, and release agent in various industries. Polyethylene Wax has a low molecular weight and is characterized by its hardness, toughness, and excellent low-temperature properties. It is [...]
Gilsonite uses in bitumen form many years ago, Gilsonite also known as uintaite, is a naturally occurring, solid hydrocarbon resin found in the lower layers of the earth. It has been used in a variety of applications, including as an additive in asphalt and bitumen. Gilsonite is used in bitumen to improve its properties, such as [...]
The dewatering process for PE wax involves removing any water that may be present in the wax. Here is a general overview of the process: Preheat the PE wax: The wax must heat to a temperature above its melting point in order to make it more fluid and easier to work with. Filter the wax: The [...]
Gilsonite or mineral bitumen is a black, hard, and brittle material with a shiny surface, In fact, it is a solid hydrocarbon that due to underground layers events and geographical conditions, During the previous thousands of years in the sources of crude oil storage in the vertical layers below the surface of the earth under [...]
Bitumen Types Petroleum bitumen is a viscous and black substance that consists of a large number of hydrocarbons and is solid or semi-solid at ambient temperature. Petroleum bitumen is produced in the process of crude oil distillation and refining in an oil refinery in a distillation tower. In oil-rich countries, mostly transfer crude oil to [...]
Bitumen VG 30 full name is bitumen viscosity grade 30 so as it's clear now we can understand from its full name, the name of this grade of Bitumen is chosen according to its viscosity and this bitumen would be in the viscosity bitumen group. The "VG" in Bitumen VG 30 stands for "Viscosity Grade," which [...]
This petroleum product is a black material that has a pasty shape and its main application is in waterproofing and asphalt making. There are different types of this petroleum products, each of which has its own different applications. More specifically, it can be said that the combination of hydrocarbons in this petroleum product is a paste and [...]
Bitumen SPOT TEST is a fast and efficient method in the quality control laboratory. The positive result of the SPOT TEST indicates that the Bitumen was produced with excess heat or in other words the produced bitumen burnt. And its negative result indicates the production and storage of the relevant Bitumen sample were in the normal [...]
Bitumen 60/70 is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons with different structures and masses that can not be accurately defined and is generally black or blackish brown. It has a high boiling point, good adhesion, and is waterproof. This bitumen is generally produced from refining processes. According to statistics, the approximate annual production in the world is [...]
