Paints And Stains

Natural Bitumen or Gilsonite has been used for a long time in the paint industry. This material is used in paints with a bitumen base. The high nitrogen content of Gilsonite increases the adhesiveness and the stability of the Gilsonite against ultraviolet light. This product is mainly used in coating the exterior surface as also creating resistance against acids, it is used as the coating for car chassis and coating of metal structures.

Gilsonite is added to bitumen-based paints to increase hardness, adhesion. UV stability, and water and chemical resistance. Gilsonite paint formulations are often used on automobile frames and radiators. Gilsonite is also an ingredient in wood stains.

Gilsonite additive is naturally better, and you just can’t get this performance with any other material – natural or synthetic.

• Superior binding properties for many materials.
• UV light stability.
• Fade-resistant transparent pigment gives a deep, rich color to wood stains.

Inks

When you read a newspaper or magazine, you touch the benefits of Gilsonite. Many of the newspapers printed in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and other locations throughout the world rely on Gilsonite to make the “no rub” inks their reader’s demand. The jet black in many heatset printed magazines and high-quality publications simply would not be possible without the excellent carbon black dispersion properties of Gilsonite.

For premium performance, you can rely on Gilsonite to be Naturally Better.

• Superior binding properties for rub-resistant high-performance inks
• Unique properties make it an excellent agent for carbon black dispersion.
• Cost-effective alternative ink additive to hydrocarbon resins, phenolic resins and metal resonates.
