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 .

Asphalt concrete is neither a mineral nor a rock. It is a human-made material composed of aggregates (such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone) bonded together with bitumen, a sticky black substance derived from crude oil.
The freezing point of bitumen can vary depending on its composition, but typically it is around 40-60°C (104-140°F).
The density of bitumen can vary depending on the temperature. At 25°C, the density of bitumen is around 1,000 kg/m^3. As the temperature decreases, the density increases due to the bitumen becoming more viscous. Conversely, as the temperature increases, the density decreases as the bitumen becomes less viscous.
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.
When a mineral can scratch another mineral, it means that the mineral is harder than the mineral it can scratch. Hardness is a measure of a mineral's resistance to being scratched, with the Mohs scale commonly used to rank minerals based on their hardness.

The thinner commonly used for bitumen is called mineral spirits. It is a petroleum-derived solvent that helps in thinning bitumen for various applications, such as painting, sealing, or coating.
asphalt is made up of the mineral bitumen otherwise known as pitch
Petroleum-based solvents or mineral spirits are commonly used to wash bitumen from the hands due to their ability to dissolve and remove the sticky residue effectively. It is important to use gloves or protective equipment when working with bitumen to minimize contact with the skin.
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 is use as fuel.
Typically, bitumen and "asphalt" are interchangeable.

Any light petroleum solvent will work. Roofers generally use mineral spirits - it's reasonably priced and easy to get.An adequate solvent can be also carbon disulfide (CS2).
