Is anybody interested in doing business on Asphalt importation into Nigeria? I happen to have one or two contacts to the controllers of the largest natural deposit of Asphalt in the world, the Pitch lake. They told me how they've been to Nigeria to scout for dealers and did not meet the right persons or something. They export Asphalt to regions of the world like South America, Europe, Australia and some countries in Africa. Anybody interested in it or that has contacts in the Federal Ministry of Petroleum resources can contact me at ivorybt@yahoo.com.

Asphalt is used in the paving of roads/highways, airports, dam, reservoirs, roofing materials, industrial floors, storage areas, insulation, sound proofing, bonding, protection of automobiles, household appliances, carpetsetc.

Composition & Structure
Asphalt is found in lakes or in seeps where oxidization of petroleum takes place. It is black or brown in color due to its hydro-carbon composition and comprises nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen. It is made up of an emulsion of mineral elements and bitumen.

Other Uses of Asphalt
Asphalt has practical advantages in that it is elastic and can be used in several ways:

1.Use as a binder or adhesive in road construction & paving of airports; water proofing floorings; making battery casings, brake linings & metal coatings.

2.Use as an anti-corrosive agent for underwater natural gas pipelines and for engineering works as the lining of reservoirs and in fittings.

3.Use in chemical and oil resistant flooring and as insulating compounds for cable and electrical industries.
