Descripción general del producto & beneficios clave
Xanthan gum is produced by fermentation of carbohydrates with Xanthomonas campestris. It dissolves in hot or cold water to give high viscosity at low dosage; the viscosity drops under shear and recovers at rest. That makes it a thickener and stabilizer in sauces, aderezos, beverages and bakery, a suspending agent in agrochemical and coating formulations, and a viscosifier in oil-drilling fluids.
Alimento, oil-drilling and industrial grades differ in viscosity, mesh size and microbiology, so tell us the end use before quoting. Xanthan gum is a polymer; the chemical formula on the current page (C₈H₁₄Cl₂N₂O₂) is not correct and is not used here.
Shear-thinning flow
Pours and pumps easily, then recovers to hold particles and droplets in suspension.
Grade matched to use
Alimento, oil-drilling and industrial grades quoted against your viscosity and mesh requirements, with a COA per batch.

Selección & comparación
Choosing the right xanthan gum grade
| Su requisito | Lo que normalmente funciona |
|---|---|
| Food and beverages | Food-grade xanthan gum (E415) with microbiological limits |
| Oil drilling fluids | Oil-drilling grade, specified by viscosity |
| Agrochemical or coating suspensions | Industrial grade; specify dispersibility and mesh size |
| Replacing an existing supplier | Envíe su TDS o COA actual; we quote against the parameters you approve |
embalaje & almacenamiento
embalaje
25 sacos de kg. Tell us your pallet requirements with your inquiry.
Almacenamiento
Keep bags closed in a cool, dry store. Xanthan gum absorbs moisture and can cake if exposed to humidity.
Desde el primer correo electrónico hasta el suministro aprobado
Name the end use
Alimento, drilling fluid or industrial formulation: the grade, viscosity and documents follow from it.
Compara los números que importan
Viscosidad (a 1% solution in KCl is a common test), mesh size, pH, loss on drying and, for food, microbiology.
Test dispersion in your system
Run the sample in your own formulation; mesh size changes how fast it hydrates without lumps.
Trial, then lock the spec
Keep the approved lot COA as the contract reference.
