Product Description

Our Xanthan Gum is a premium microbial polysaccharide offering superior thickening, stabilizing, suspending, and emulsifying properties. Produced through fermentation of carbohydrates by Xanthomonas campestris, it delivers consistent high viscosity and pseudoplastic (shear-thinning) behavior, making it one of the most effective hydrocolloids in the market.

Key Advantages:

High Viscosity at Low Dosage: Effective at 0.1–1% concentration.
Excellent Stability: Resistant to heat, acids, alkalis, and salts.
Shear-Thinning: Easy to pour/pump yet thickens when static.
Compatibility: Works well with other gums and ingredients.
Safety: Food-grade is GRAS, widely approved for use.

Common applications include salad dressings, sauces, beverages, baked goods, dairy products, gluten-free foods, oil & gas drilling fluids, cosmetics (creams, lotions), pharmaceuticals, and paints. We supply various mesh sizes (80 mesh, 200 mesh) and grades to match your exact needs. Consistent quality with low moisture and high purity guaranteed.

Applications: Food & Beverage, Oil Drilling, Cosmetics & Personal Care, Pharmaceuticals, Industrial Fluids.
