Grades and requiments
Gilsonite categorizing by mesh, softening point, solubility and impurities and the rest item is not in contract as it is mineral natural and day by day and location by location is different. If customer focus on one item would be loser. I mean if for instance requires high softening point then there is not solubility or less impurity the same.
Packing of Gilsonite
Packing of Gilsonite is according to customer demand but we recommend to choose the best possible to protect again humidity and sun. Normally oil companies take 50LBS paper bag as they need to be recycled and pass the ISO certificates.
In 50LBS or 25Kg multi paper bag or PP bag, we are using 34 bag per pallet and 20 pallet per 20ft container.Inside of the bags are seal and validity of the goods would be 10 years.
In case customer need big bag we have two options of 500Kg and 1 tons jumbo bag and inside of the bags is liner to keep away from air and humidity.
We can use wooden or plastic pallet under the jumbo bag to easy handling during multimodal transport.
