XANTHAN GUM

CAS No.: 11138-66-2
Application: Oil drilling / Food

Xanthan Gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produced by the fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris. It is widely recognized as one of the most effective and versatile rheology modifiers in various industries. With excellent thickening, suspending, and stabilizing properties, Xanthan Gum performs consistently across a broad range of temperatures, pH values, and salinity levels.

Thanks to its unique molecular structure, Xanthan Gum provides outstanding viscosity even at low concentrations, making it a cost-effective solution in both industrial and food applications. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and compatible with most other water-soluble gums and electrolytes.

1. Oil Drilling Grade Xanthan Gum

Oil Drilling Grade Xanthan Gum is specially designed for use in oilfield drilling, completion, and workover fluids. It serves as an efficient viscosity enhancer and fluid loss control agent in both freshwater and saline environments.

Key Features:

Excellent viscosity and suspension capability in high-salinity and high-temperature conditions
Reduces fluid loss and improves hole cleaning efficiency
Enhances the carrying capacity of drilling fluids for cuttings and weighting materials
Performs effectively in a wide pH range and in the presence of calcium and other ions

Applications:

Water-based drilling fluids
Completion and workover fluids
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) systems

Oil drilling grade Xanthan Gum helps improve drilling efficiency, stabilize boreholes, and reduce environmental impact, making it an ideal choice for modern oilfield operations.

2. Food Grade Xanthan Gum E415

Food Grade Xanthan Gum E415 is a safe, high-quality hydrocolloid widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in food processing. It provides excellent control over texture, consistency, and mouthfeel across a wide range of products.

Key Features:

Excellent thickening and stabilizing performance
Stable under varying temperature and pH conditions
Improves texture and suspension of particles
Compatible with most salts, acids, and enzymes

Applications:

Beverages and sauces
Salad dressings and condiments
Dairy products and ice cream
Bakery fillings and gluten-free formulations

Food Grade Xanthan Gum ensures consistent product quality and enhances consumer experience, making it an essential ingredient in today’s food industry.
