Gilsonite powder is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon mineral processed into a fine black powder for use in a wide range of industrial applications. Thanks to its high carbon content, excellent compatibility with bitumen-based systems, and natural binding properties, it is widely used in drilling fluids, asphalt modification, foundry products, inks, paints, and chemical formulations.
At KaneAra, we supply high-quality Iran Gilsonite powder produced from carefully selected raw ore and processed under strict quality control. Our products are available in different particle sizes to meet the technical requirements of international customers. Whether you require bulk quantities for continuous production or customized packaging for export, our team provides reliable supply and worldwide logistics support.
As an experienced gilsonite powder supplier, KaneAra focuses on delivering consistent product quality, competitive export solutions, and responsive technical assistance for industrial buyers around the world.
Gilsonite Powder: Technical Overview
Gilsonite (natural bitumen / uintaite) is a naturally occurring solid hydrocarbon mined primarily in Utah, USA, and select deposits in Iran. When ground into powder, it is used as a binder, viscosifier, and carbon-additive across drilling, asphalt, foundry, ink, and coatings industries.
Kane Ara Sepahan produces two standard ash-content grades of natural asphalt (Gilsonite). Grade selection depends primarily on the softening point and ash tolerance your process requires.
Grade guidance: the 5-10 grade has lower ash content and a lower/wider softening-point range — often preferred for drilling fluids and foundry applications where ash directly affects performance. The 10-15 grade has a higher softening point, which can suit certain asphalt-modification uses. Confirm this positioning with your technical team before publishing — the “right” grade depends on the buyer’s process, so avoid claiming one is universally better.
