PETROLEUM JELLY

Petroleum jelly or petrolatum is made by the waxy petroleum material that is formed on oil rigs. It is an ingredient in many cosmetics and lotions. Originally it was marketed as a burn ointment. While petroleum jelly does not cure burns or other wounds, it does seal a cleaned burn or injury off from contamination or further infection. Petroleum jelly also may be applied to dry or chapped skin to seal in moisture. A variation known as red veterinary petroleum confers some protection against UV (ultraviolet) exposure and has been used as a sunscreen.

PPARAFFIN WAX

Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft solid derivable from petroleum, coal or oil shale, that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between twenty and forty carbon atoms. It is solid at room temperature and begins to melt above approximately 37 °C (99 °F). Fully refined paraffin waxes typically have a low oil content (below .5% by weight), good color (+28 min ASTM), and are very hard. These types of waxes offer a variety of beneficial properties in numerous applications. Paraffin wax alone is used in many purposes such: Candle making, Food Wrap, Corrugated Containers, Nursery Stock, Textiles, Cheese and Vegetable Coatings, Hot Melt Adhesives and Coatings, Cosmetics, Inks and Polishes,fertilizers,shoe wax, crayons, waxed paper, varnishe and more. It’s also used as an additive in tires, can be used for many types of board waxesused as a blending in other petroleum based, oil and jelly products. Now in factories two grades of semi refined paraffin wax are produced:

Snow white semi refined     paraffin wax oil content 1-2 percent

Snow white semi refined     paraffin wax oil content 3-5 percent

 The packaging of paraffin wax slabs are:

  5kg single slab wrapped in     polythene bag

25kg to 27 kg(5 slabs) gross in     white polypropylene woven bag or black plastic bag

PARRAFIN OIL

Paraffin oil is any solid or liquid mixture of purified saturated, aliphatic hydrocarbons (paraffins) obtained from petroleum. A distinction is made between viscous paraffin (Paraffinumliquidum or Paraffinumsubliquidum),low-viscosity paraffin(Paraffinumperliquidum) and hard paraffin (Paraffinumsolidum), this distinction being based primarily upon viscosity. Paraffin, whatever the type, is obtained: 1) By distilling petroleum residue, bituminous shale or peat and output from low-temperature lignite carbonization 2) By means of a medium-pressure synthetic process involving the use of CO and H2 With paraffin slack wax precipitated during petroleum distillation is cooled, de-oiled and bleached to yield hard paraffin. In contrast, liquid paraffin is obtained by distillation. All types of paraffin, except the hard form, are colourless, clear, oily, non-fluorescent in daylight, entirely or virtually odourless, tasteless liquids. It is only when they are heated that they give off a faint smell. Paraffins are insoluble in water, poorly soluble in ethanol and soluble in ether and hydrocarbons. Paraffins are used in Medicine and in cosmetics, in ointments and creams, also as a mild laxative. Paraffins are also used in the production of candles, floor treatment preparations, wood and metal polishes, car care materials, grinding paste and tap grease, grafting waxes, cosmetic pencils, modelling materials, suspensions used in infrared spectroscopy (Nujol), embedding media used in microscopy, heating baths used in chemical apparatus (transformer oils), chemical lubricants used in high-precision mechanisms (oils for weapons), linoleum, waxed papers, for waxing fruit and cheeses and as a wetting agent (snuff).

Gilsonite

Gilsonite in mass is a shiny, black substance similar in appearance to the mineral obsidian. It is brittle and can be easily crushed into a dark brown powder. This natural asphalt is similar to a hard petroleum asphalt and is often called a natural asphalt, asphaltite, uintaite, or asphaltum.  Gilsonite is soluble in aromatic and aliphatic solvents, as well as petroleum asphalt. Due to its unique compatibility, gilsonite is frequently used to harden softer petroleum products. Gilsonite is brand name for the mineral known as asphaltum, uintaite, Natural asphalt, mineral tar, mineral pitch, mineral bitumen, bitumen powder, drilling, asfaltite, asphaltite which is found in commercial quantities only in west of Iran. Gilsonite is compatible with microcrystalline and paraffin wax, petroleum resin and oil, rosins, tall oil pitch, vegetable oil (linseed, soya, etc), petroleum process oils and petroleum asphalt. As one of the main supplier of Gilsonite products, we market many different grades of Gilsonite and Gilsonite resins, each with properties tied to a specific end-use.  

Gilsonite in Asphalt & Bitumen

Gilsonite Natural Asphalt , Natural Bitumen , Hard Asphalt or Hard Asphaltum is used as a performance-enhancing agent for asphalt mixes. Gilsonite-modified asphalts have higher stability, reduced deformation, reduced temperature susceptibility and increased resistance to water stripping than non-modified asphalts. Gilsonite is also used to make both solvent-based and emulsion pavement sealers with superior appearance and weathering properties.  

Gilsonite in Oil & Gas

Gilsonite is used in drilling mud fluids and oil well cementing. The addition of Gilsonite to oil well cements reduces slurry weight without loss of compressive strength and acts as an effective bridging and plugging agent to seal fractures in weak formations while cementing.  

Gilsonite in Inks and Paints

Gilsonite Resin is widely used as the primary carbon black wetting agent for black news inks and headset and gravure inks. Iranian Gilsonite Resin competes advantageously with petroleum-based hydrocarbon resins, phenolic resins and metal resinates, all of which it can complement or replace to various degrees. Various concentrations of Iranian Gilsonite Resin are used to manufacture law-rub-off news inks with superior gloss and tack properties. For Paint , If added to asphaltic paints and varnishes, Gilsonite’s unique qualities improve their roughness, gloss and chemical and weather resistance. For printing Inks, Gilsonite is an important cost-effective ingredient in the manufacture of high quality vehicles for dark printing inks.

GILSONITE

Gilsonite in Foundry

Gilsonite is combined with coal and other ingredients as an additive in foundry sands to insure the quality of the molded part by improving mold release and the overall finish of metal castings.

Gilsonite in Chemical

Gilsonite has many industrial applications, including metal alloy processing, refractary, steel desulfurization, friction products, wood products, waterproof pipe coatings, and adhesives. Gilsonite is used as a binder and mixing agent in steel desulfurization products. It will also add carbon content to the steel and will provide a reductive atmosphere as it oxidizes at high temperatures. Gilsonite is used to make waterproof coatings for water pipes. The wood products industry also uses Gilsonite as a binder. It has excellent waterproofing and weather resistant properties. Because Gilsonite is a hard resin it will make a very hard particleboard.

Base Oil

Almost every lubricant used in plants today started off as just a base oil. The American Petroleum Institute (API) has categorized base oils into five categories. The first three groups are refined from petroleum crude oil. Group four base oils are full synthetic (polyalphaolefin) oils. Group five is for all other base oils not included in Groups one to four.

Group I

Group I base oils are classified as less than 90 percent saturates, greater than 0.03 percent sulfur and with a viscosity-index range of 80 to 120. The temperature ranges from 32 to 150 degrees F. Group I base oils are solvent-refined, which is a simpler refining process.

Group II

Group II base oils are defined as being more than 90 percent saturates, less than 0.03 percent sulfur and with a viscosity index of 80 to 120. They are the most commonly used base oils in plants, making up 47 percent of the capacity of plants. Currently, Group III accounts for less than 1 percent of the capacity in plants. Group I base oils previously made up 56 percent of the capacity, compared to 28 percent of the capacity in today’s plants.

Group III

Group III base oils are greater than 90 percent saturates, less than 0.03 percent sulfur and have a viscosity index above 120. These oils are refined even more than Group II base oils and generally are severely hydrocracked (higher pressure and heat). This longer process is designed to achieve a purer base oil.

Group IV

Group IV base oils are polyalphaolefins (PAOs). These synthetic base oils are made through synthesizing. They have a much broader temperature range and are great for use in extreme cold conditions and high heat applications.

EMULSION BITUMEN

Description Bitumen emulsion consists of three basic ingredients: bitumen, water, and an emulsifying agent. Based on specifications it may contain other additives, such as stabilizers, coating improvers, anti-strips, or break control agents. It is well known that water and asphalt will not mix, except under carefully controlled conditions using highly specialized equipment and chemical additives. Uses Cationic emulsions may be used at ambient temperatures with aggregates, which need not be completely dry. Emulsions are less hazardous to use and can be applied in a wider range of conditions Packing Standard Seaworthy Exportable Packing in200 Kg Reconditioned Drums Palletizing is required for Cutback Bitumen & Emulsions -200kg drums shall be secured as 4 drums per pallet

CUTBACK BITUMEN

Cutback Bitumen (Liquid Bitumen) is Bitumen that is dissolved in a solvent. Typical solvents include Naphtha, gasoline and kerosene, white spirit etc. The type of solvent controls the curing time while the amount determines the viscosity of the Cutback Bitumen. Cutback Classification - Rapid-Curing (RC) - Medium-Curing (MC) Cutbacks are divided into two classifications, Rapid-Curing (RC) and Medium-Curing (MC) depending on the solvent used. They are further defined by a number which indicates the minimum kinematic viscosity (fluidity) of the cutback. Application Cutback bitumen’s suitable for primer sealing can also be used in the manufacture of pre-mix asphalt, which is used in patch repairs. Cutback bitumen’s are used extensively in sprayed sealing applications, particularly in cooler weather where they provide improved initial stone retention due to their lower viscosity. Typically, a single application of the appropriate cutback bitumen is sprayed onto the primed pavement onto which aggregate is laid.
