Before bulk orders
Gilsonite powder is a natural hydrocarbon binder used across drilling, foundry, ink, coatings, and asphalt production — and its performance lives or dies on ash content and consistency
KaneAra is one of the largest direct producers of gilsonite powder, shipping export-grade material with full technical documentation, so your process gets the same result batch after batch, not a supply-chain gamble.
Gilsonite Powder Grades and Specifications
Gilsonite performance depends on ash content and softening point, not just particle size. We produce two standard ash-content grades, available in 30, 80, 100, and 200 mesh, with custom mesh sizes on request:
Gilsonite 5–10 (Low Ash Grade):
Property | Value |
Color in mass | Black |
Appearance | Brown-black powder |
Softening point | 160–220 °C |
Moisture content | < 3% |
Specific gravity @ 77°F | 1.02–1.2 |
Hardness (Mohs scale) | 2 |
Penetration | 0 |
Flash point (C.O.C.) | > 290 °C |
Trace elements | < 1% |
Solubility in T.C.E. | 70–85 wt% |
Solubility in CS₂ | 70–90 wt% |
Ash | 5–10% |
Fixed carbon | 25–35% |
Gilsonite 10–15 (Standard Ash Grade):
Property | Value |
Color in mass | Black |
Color in streak/powder | Brown |
Softening point | 200–240 °C |
Moisture content | < 3% |
Specific gravity @ 77°F | 1.04–1.06 |
Hardness (Mohs scale) | 2 |
Penetration | 0 |
Flash point (C.O.C.) | > 280 °C |
Trace elements | < 1% |
Volatile matter | 55–70% |
Ash | 10–15% |
Fixed carbon | 20–30% |
The 5–10 grade’s lower ash and wider, lower softening-point range make it a common choice for drilling fluids and foundry work; the 10–15 grade’s higher softening point suits asphalt and pavement modification. Our technical team helps you match the grade to your actual process specs before you commit to an order.
