Before bulk orders
gilsonite ore into a fine powder. It is commonly used in drilling fluids and asphalt applications, where consistent product quality is important for maintaining predictable performance.
One of the key specifications to consider when sourcing gilsonite powder is ash content, which represents the non-combustible mineral matter in the product. Different ash levels can affect how the material performs in a formulation, so keeping the grade within a defined range helps maintain consistency from batch to batch.
Kaneara produces gilsonite powder from its own mine and processing plant and supplies two standard ash grades: 5–10% and 10–15%. Each batch is tested before shipment, and a laboratory certificate is provided with the material.
Gilsonite powder is available for export orders starting from 20 metric tons, with packaging and documentation prepared according to the requirements of international buyers. KaneAra supplies gilsonite products to customers in more than 20 countries.
We supply Gilsonite in bulk powder for continuous industrial use, with a minimum order of 20 tons. Packaging options include 25 kg laminated bags, 500 kg and 1000 kg jumbo bags, or fully customized packaging for your logistics setup.
As one of the established gilsonite suppliers for international markets, we tailor quotations to your grade, mesh size, packaging, and destination port.

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.
