Gilsonite is a natural bitumen that significantly enhances the performance of asphalt mixes. When added to asphalt, gilsonite increases hardness, durability, and resistance to deformation under heavy traffic loads and high temperatures. It improves the rutting resistance, aging characteristics, and water repellency of the pavement, making roads longer-lasting and more resistant to environmental damage. Gilsonite-modified asphalt is ideal for highways, airport runways, and heavy-duty pavements where strength and longevity are critical.

In Drilling Mud:
In oil and gas drilling, gilsonite is widely used as a shale stabilizer and fluid loss control additive. When added to water- or oil-based drilling fluids, it helps seal permeable formations, reduces the invasion of fluids into the formation, and prevents differential sticking. Gilsonite’s ability to plug micro-fractures in the wellbore strengthens the well and helps maintain borehole stability, especially in high-pressure or high-temperature environments.

Gilsonite is valued in both industries for its natural composition, compatibility with other materials, and ability to enhance performance without causing environmental harm.
