Product Information
Product Nature
Physical Properties:
· Appearance: White or light yellow powder, odorless.
· Solubility: Soluble in both cold and hot water, forming a transparent or semi-transparent solution.
· Viscosity: Produces high viscosity at low concentrations (a 1% solution can reach thousands of mPa·s).Chemical & Rheological Properties:
· Pseudoplasticity (Shear-Thinning): Its solution exhibits high viscosity at rest, but viscosity decreases rapidly under shear (e.g., stirring, pumping) and recovers immediately once the shear is removed. This is one of its most important characteristics.
· Outstanding Stability: Maintains viscosity stability across a wide range of temperatures (-18°C to 80°C) and pH (2-12); tolerant of high salt concentrations.
· Synergistic Effects: Shows synergistic viscosity enhancement when used with other polysaccharide gums like guar gum and locust bean gum.
· Suspending Ability: Effectively suspends insoluble particles and oil droplets, preventing sedimentation and separation.
Product Usage
Food Industry (Largest Consumption Sector): Used as a thickener, stabilizer, and suspending agent in beverages, sauces, dressings, dairy products, ice cream, and baked goods to improve texture and shelf life.
Oilfield Chemicals:
· Drilling Fluid Viscosifier: Used in water-based drilling fluids to provide excellent cuttings carrying capacity and suspension properties while minimizing formation damage.
· Base Fluid for Fracturing/Workover Fluids: Utilizes its shear-thinning property to reduce friction during pumping and regain high viscosity downhole to carry proppant.Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics: Serves as a stabilizer and thickener in ointments, creams, shampoos, and body washes.
Daily Chemicals: Used in toothpaste, detergents, air fresheners, etc.
Ceramic Industry: Acts as a suspending agent and thickener for glazes.
Agriculture: Used in pesticides and herbicides to enhance adhesion and suspension stability of spray solutions.
Safety Matters
Health Hazards:
· Food-grade xanthan gum is safe and harmless for human consumption and is approved as a food additive by numerous international authorities for moderate use.
· Industrial-grade powder may cause mild irritation to eyes and respiratory tract. Significant dust inhalation may cause discomfort.Handling Protection:
· When handling industrial-grade powder, work in a well-ventilated area and wear a dust mask and goggles to minimize dust exposure.
· Avoid dust formation. Avoid contact with eyes.
· Wash hands thoroughly after handling.Storage & Transportation:
· Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Strictly protect from moisture. It tends to cake upon moisture absorption.
· Keep away from fire and heat sources.
· Food-grade products must be stored separately from industrial-grade products and comply with food hygiene regulations.Fire Fighting:
· Combustible. Dust can form explosive mixtures with air.
· Use water, foam, dry chemical, or CO2 to extinguish fire.
· May decompose at high temperatures, producing fumes including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
