Gilsonite for road construction

Gilsonite for road construction

Gilsonite use in hot asphalt mixtures is very high. Mixing Gilsonite with bitumen increases the strength and resistance of pavements to traffic, reduces the effect of wheels on pavement, cracks at low temperatures, prevents deformation in hot weather and also Gilsonite has effects of moisture.
Due to the correctness of the bitumen process and the resulting asphalt, many countries such as Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, France and Germany have used Gilsonite for high-traffic lanes, which has been successful.
