Hi,
There is minerla bitumen only in Iran and USA.
Normally bitumen coming from refinery and oil processing but mineral bitumen is natural bitumen whicjh deeep years ago when earthquake happened,eath get crack and oil come us and after 1000 yeas moisture removed and remained something like Bitumen .
You can reach me on www.gilsonite-bitumen.com
The Viscosity of Bitumen is 240 cst.
See: Properties of Oil Sands and Bitumen in Athabasca 2006 Fig 7 http://www.cspg.org/conventions/abstracts/2006abstracts/135S0131.pdf
Bitumen is not reactive in the sense that it sets. Furthermore, it's strongly temperature sensitive ie the apperance will depend on temperature. This is perhaps one of the main properties of bitumen, along with stickiness. If its fluid (or thick) n room temperature it will stay that way. There are slow processes, chemical and physical, that will affect properties but these are slow and long term. If you want it to set, lower the temperature or choose another quality of bitumen. There are bitumens that more or less brittle at room temperature.
by the use of NMR
It is neither.

asphalt is made up of the mineral bitumen otherwise known as pitch
Asphalt, or Asphaltum, is the most common variety of mineral pitch (also known as bitumen). It is a highly viscous semi-solid which is found in most crude petroleum.
why bitumen is used
Mustek manufactures a variety of packed bitumen products. Their bitumen products are produced at the Europoort refinery in Rotterdam, Germany. They produce 3 types of bitumen: penetration bitumen,oxidized bitumen, and hard bitumen.
Bitumen has not thorium.
Bitumen is use as fuel.
Bitumen Bi*tu"men
Bitumen is a form of mineral pitch, a black, tarry substance which occurs as an abundant natural product in many places, including the shores of the Dead Sea and the Caspian Sea. The material is used in cements, in the construction of pavements.
Bitumen is black.
whghy we do ductility test for bitumen
