Xanthan Gum

Product Description

Xanthan Gum


1、 Xanthan gum is a natural polymer compound, a polysaccharide produced by microorganisms, with alkaline and high viscosity properties. Xanthan gum is water-soluble and can exhibit good gel properties in neutral and alkaline environments.


2、 The difference between high viscosity and low viscosity of xanthan gum


The high and low viscosity versions of xanthan gum refer to their different viscosity levels. The viscosity of high viscosity xanthan gum is usually above 3500cps, while the viscosity of low viscosity xanthan gum is usually below 2000cps. The main difference between high viscosity and low viscosity versions of xanthan gum lies in its viscosity and flow properties.


3、 Application fields of high viscosity xanthan gum


1. Cosmetics industry: Xanthan gum with high viscosity has good consistency and viscosity, and can be used for thickening and emulsifying water-based cosmetics and lotion. For example, face cream, skin lotion, toothpaste, etc.


2. Food industry: Xanthan gum with high viscosity can be used as gel agent and stabilizer in the production of jelly, yogurt and other foods.


3. Pharmaceutical industry: Xanthan gum can be used in oral and local therapeutic formulations to improve the viscosity and adhesion of drugs.


4、 Application fields of low viscosity xanthan gum


1. Beverage industry: Low viscosity xanthan gum can be used as a stabilizer and suspending agent in beverages such as fruit juice and milk drinks.


2. Petroleum industry: The low viscosity version of xanthan gum has excellent rheological properties and gelling properties, and can be used as fracturing fluid in oilfield water drive operations.


3. Cosmetics industry: Xanthan gum with low viscosity can be used to make refreshing water-based cosmetics and daily necessities, such as light lotion and moisturizing spray.


Overall, the difference between high viscosity and low viscosity versions of xanthan gum lies in its viscosity and flow properties. According to the application requirements of xanthan gum, different versions of xanthan gum can be selected to meet different application fields.
