Gilsonite is a natural bitumen that is extracted from mines in lump form with varying ash content. These lumps can be utilized directly in industrial applications. However, for more efficient and streamlined processing, gilsonite can also be converted into micronized powder.

This versatile material finds widespread use across multiple industries, with its primary applications being in road construction, drilling mud formulation, and the printing sector.
