Product Information
Product Nature
Physical Properties:
· Appearance: White or light yellow powder with good flowability.
· Solubility: Soluble in both cold and hot water with fast dissolution rate, typically forming a transparent or semi-transparent viscous solution.
· Viscosity: Very low dosage (0.1%-0.5%) significantly increases system viscosity.
Chemical & Functional Properties:
· Pseudoplasticity (Shear-Thinning): Its solution exhibits high viscosity at rest, providing suspension and stability. Under shear (e.g., mixing, pumping, spraying), viscosity drops instantaneously, facilitating processing and application, and recovers rapidly once shear stops.
· Outstanding Stability: Resistant to high temperatures (short-term tolerance above 120°C), acids and alkalis (pH 2-12), and high salt concentrations, with minimal performance degradation.
· Suspending Power: Effectively suspends solid particles, pigments, fillers, etc., preventing sedimentation and separation.
· Compatibility & Synergy: Good compatibility with many industrial raw materials. Can exhibit synergistic viscosity enhancement when combined with certain polymers (e.g., guar gum).
Product Usage
Oilfield Chemicals (Primary Application):
· Drilling Fluids: Serves as a viscosifier and fluid loss control agent, enhancing cuttings carrying capacity, stabilizing the wellbore, and controlling fluid invasion into formations.
· Fracturing Fluids: Used as a gelling agent to prepare proppant-carrying fluids. Its excellent shear-thinning allows easy pumping and rapid viscosity recovery in fractures to suspend proppant.
· Enhanced Oil Recovery: Used in conformance control and displacement fluids.
Coatings & Paints:
· Water-Based Coatings: Acts as a thickener and suspending agent, preventing pigment settling, and improving leveling and application properties.
Agrochemicals & Fertilizers:
· Suspension Concentrates, Water-Dispersible Granules: Serves as a thickening stabilizer to prevent active ingredient settling and separation, and improves spray adhesion.
Ceramic Industry:
· Glazes: Used as a suspending agent and thickener to prevent solid particle settlement in glazes, ensuring uniform application.
Textile Printing & Dyeing:
· Printing Pastes: Used as a thickener for preparing printing pastes.
Industrial Cleaners:
· Used as a thickener in paste or gel cleaners to enhance cling on vertical surfaces.
Adhesives:
· Used in water-based adhesives to modify viscosity and stability.
Safety Matters
Health Hazards:
· Low toxicity, but its dust may be irritating to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Significant inhalation may cause discomfort.
· NOT FOR HUMAN OR ANIMAL CONSUMPTION. Industrial grade is not produced to food safety standards and may contain impurities or microorganisms unsuitable for food.
Handling Protection:
· Must be handled in a well-ventilated area. Wear a dust mask, chemical safety goggles, and chemical-resistant gloves.
· Avoid dust formation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
· Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling.
Storage & Transportation:
· Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Strictly protect from moisture.
· Keep containers tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
· Must be stored separately from food, feed, and food-grade products. Clearly label "For Industrial Use Only - Not for Food".
Usage Advice:
· Dissolution Method: Pre-blend xanthan gum with other dry ingredients in the formulation (e.g., pigments, fillers), then slowly add this mixture to water under high-speed agitation to prevent lump formation.
· Dosage: Determine by testing based on desired viscosity, typically ranging from 0.05% to 0.5%.
Fire Fighting:
· Combustible. Dust can form explosive mixtures with air.
· Use water, foam, dry chemical, or CO2 to extinguish fire.
