Business Description:
American Gilsonite Company (AGC) and its predecessor companies have provided high-quality Gilsonite and Gilsonite products and service since 1888. Gilsonite, a registered trademark of American Gilsonite Company, is a non-hazardous, naturally occurring hydrocarbon resin that is similar in appearance to coal or hard asphalt.
Gilsonite is AGC's brand name for the mineral known as asphaltum, uintaite or uintahite, which is found in commercial quantities only in the Uintah Basin of northeastern Utah. This unique mineral is used in more than 160 products, primarily in dark-colored printing inks and paints, oil well drilling muds and cements, asphalt modifiers, foundry sands additives and a wide variety of chemical products.
As the world's major supplier of uintaite products, we market many different grades of Gilsonite and Gilsonite resins, each with properties tied to a specific end-use. We have extensive experience in shipping direct from our Bonanza Mine Site, our European warehouse in Antwerp, Belgium, and through our network of agents and stocking distributors in over 40 countries around the world.
From our state-of-the-art processing plants we provide customers with a dependable supply of made-to-spec products in a variety of packaging options, including our refined products ER Resin and IR Resin obtained through a proprietary solvent extraction process. Our products are carefully screened for impurities, dried to controlled moisture specifications, classified by particle size, held in large concrete silos until ready for final packaging, and stored in a covered warehouse prior to shipment. Our labs conduct extensive quality controls throughout the production process and every order is shipped with an individual certificate of analysis that guarantees its adherence to specifications.
