Product Description

                                                                               Xanthan gum

 

Xanthan gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates with the bacterium Xanthomonas
campestris. It is widely used in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, due to its unique physical properties.
Xanthan gum is a white to cream-colored powder that is soluble in both hot and cold water. It forms viscous and stable aqueous solutions,
even at low concentrations, and exhibits pseudoplastic rheology, meaning it flows easily under low stress but thickens when stressed or
agitated. In addition to its thickening and stabilizing properties, xanthan gum is highly efficient in suspending solid particles and in preventing
the settling of suspended particles. It has excellent compatibility with other gums and hydrocolloids, making it a versatile ingredient in
complex formulations.

Xanthan gum, a natural polysaccharide produced by fermentation of sugar with Xanthomonas campestris, finds extensive application
in the petroleum industry. Its unique rheological properties make it valuable in drilling fluids used to stabilize boreholes during oil
and gas extraction. Xanthan gum acts as a viscosifier and fluid-loss reducer, enhancing the fluid's carrying capacity and maintaining
wellbore stability under varying conditions. Furthermore, it improves suspension of solids in drilling mud, preventing sedimentation
and ensuring efficient drilling operations. Beyond drilling, xanthan gum is utilized in enhanced oil recovery techniques where it
helps control fluid mobility, ensuring optimal displacement of oil from reservoirs. Its versatility, biodegradability, and non-toxic nature
contribute to its widespread use as a key additive in petroleum engineering, supporting efficient and sustainable extraction processes
worldwide.
