Application:
Oil production: This is a very important application area for industrial-grade xanthan gum. It can be used in the formulation of drilling fluids, completion fluids, and fracturing fluids. Its excellent thickening, suspension, and salt tolerance properties help adjust rheology, carry cuttings, and reduce friction.
Daily chemical cleaning: It serves as a thickener, suspending agent, and stabilizer.
Textile printing and dyeing: It serves as a thickener and rheology control agent in printing pastes.
Papermaking: It serves as a thickener and water-retaining agent in paper coatings.
Packaging:
25kg/bag or customized
