Xanthan Gum – Industrial & Food Grade Polymer
What is Xanthan Gum?
Applications:
1. Oil & Gas Industry
In Oilfield Drilling, Xanthan Gum acts as a powerful viscosifier and suspending agent in drilling mud formulations. It enhances mud rheology, ensuring efficient cuttings transport and improved wellbore stability.
Key Benefits:
Maintains viscosity under high temperature and salinity
Compatible with freshwater, seawater, and brine mud systems
Reduces fluid loss and improves hole cleaning efficiency
Enhances performance in drilling, workover, and completion fluids
Our Oilfield Grade Xanthan Gum is engineered to perform under extreme downhole conditions, maintaining stable rheological properties throughout the drilling process.
2. Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)
In HDD applications, fluid performance determines drilling efficiency and equipment life. Petropath’s HDD-grade Xanthan Gum delivers outstanding suspension and lubricity, ensuring smooth borehole operations.
Advantages:
Improves carrying capacity for long boreholes
Provides thixotropic behavior for easy pumping and static stability
Reduces pipe friction and tool wear
Biodegradable and eco-friendly
Our Industrial Xanthan Gum ensures consistent results in pipeline crossings, trenchless drilling, and HDD stabilization—even in complex soil conditions.
3. Food Industry
As a Food Grade Xanthan Gum, it is widely used as a stabilizer, thickener, and emulsifier across food and beverage formulations. Known as E415, it enhances texture, mouthfeel, and product stability.
Applications:
Sauces & Dressings – for thickness and pour control
Bakery & Gluten-Free Products – improves elasticity and volume
Dairy & Beverages – prevents separation
Frozen Foods – maintains stability through freeze–thaw cycles
Benefits:
Effective at low dosage levels (0.1%–0.5%)
Stable across temperature and pH variations
Compatible with guar gum, locust bean gum, and carrageenan
Petropath ensures compliance with FSSAI, EU, and FDA standards, delivering safe and consistent food-grade quality.
4. Pharmaceutical Applications
In pharmaceuticals, Xanthan Gum is valued for its biocompatibility and controlled-release properties. It acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and binder across multiple formulations.
Uses Include:
Suspensions & Syrups – prevents sedimentation
Topical Gels & Creams – ensures smooth texture
Tablets – supports controlled-release matrix
Oral Care – improves viscosity in toothpaste and mouthwash
Our Pharma Grade this gum undergoes strict quality checks for purity, particle size, and microbial limits, ensuring compliance with global pharmacopeia standards.
