New research reports on the use of Gilsonite in mastic asphalt as well as SMA cover layers available in the download area
For sustainable road construction in road construction and in areas with high traffic loads
GILSOFLEX ®
For heavily loaded asphalt structures: roundabouts, traffic jam zones in front of busy intersections, bus bays or bus stops.
Unique deformation stability and long service life thanks to GILSONITE natural asphalt.
Shorter construction time and lower manufacturing costs!
GILSONITE
is a pure hydrocarbon, with a melting point of 165°C, found in this form only in the Uintah Basin of eastern Utah. The mineral is a natural bitumen and geologically a petroleum based solid and therefore extremely compatible with petroleum bitumen. When blended, a very intimate molecule of GILSONITE and bitumen is formed, one that takes on some hardness and durability of GILSONITE while still retaining the flexibility of the bitumen.
