Product type
Oil drilling grade xanthan gum is a high-performance biopolymer derived from the fermentation of sugars by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. It is primarily used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in various applications, particularly in the oil and gas industry. This product enhances the viscosity of drilling fluids, helping to suspend solids and improve the overall efficiency of drilling operations.
| Purity | Typically 90% or higher |
| Appearance | Off-white to light yellow powder |
| Viscosity | Varies based on concentration, typically 100 to 1000 cP |
| Solubility | Soluble in cold and hot water |
| pH range | 6 to 8 |
When selecting oil drilling grade xanthan gum, buyers should consider the desired viscosity and purity levels based on their specific application. It's important to specify the required performance characteristics, such as solubility and pH stability, as well as any relevant certifications for food-grade applications if applicable. Quantities may vary based on project needs, so providing estimated usage can help suppliers offer accurate quotes.
