Xanthan Gum – Engineered for Performance and Reliability

Product Overview

When your operations demand stability, consistency, and precision, Xanthan Gum from Petropath Fluids India Ltd. delivers measurable performance. Designed through advanced fermentation and refined under stringent quality control, our high-viscosity polymer offers unmatched thickening, stabilizing, and suspension power for oilfield, food, and pharmaceutical applications.
We supply customized industrial and food-grade Xanthan Gum that meets international standards, ensuring excellence in both heavy-duty and sensitive environments.

What Makes Xanthan Gum Exceptional?

Xanthan Gum is a naturally derived polysaccharide created by fermenting carbohydrates with Xanthomonas campestris. The resulting molecular structure—rich in glucose, mannose, and glucuronic acid—provides outstanding rheological control and viscosity stability, even at minimal dosages.
It dissolves easily in both hot and cold water and remains effective across wide ranges of pH, temperature, and salinity, making it an indispensable additive in extreme industrial as well as food-grade environments.

Applications Across Industries

1. Oil & Gas Exploration

In drilling operations, Xanthan Gum functions as a viscosifier and suspending agent within water-based mud systems. It maintains optimal flow and hole cleaning under variable downhole pressures and temperatures.

Advantages:

  • Delivers high low-shear viscosity for superior cuttings transport

  • Minimizes fluid loss and stabilizes the wellbore

  • Performs consistently in fresh, saline, and brine mud systems

  • Resists degradation at high temperature and pressure

Our Oilfield Grade Xanthan Gum ensures dependable rheology for drilling, workover, and completion fluids—enhancing operational efficiency.

2. Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)

In HDD projects, maintaining fluid performance is crucial for productivity. Petropath’s industrial Xanthan Gum ensures precise mud control and borehole stability while protecting drilling equipment.

Key Benefits:

  • Enhances carrying capacity for extended boreholes

  • Exhibits thixotropic behavior for smooth pumping

  • Reduces pipe friction and torque

  • Environmentally friendly and biodegradable

Engineered for long runs and variable terrains, it consistently delivers reliable results.

3. Food and Beverage Applications

Recognized globally as E415, Food Grade Xanthan Gum offers perfect texture, structure, and stability for diverse food products.

Applications:

  • Sauces & Dressings – improved thickness and smooth pour

  • Gluten-Free Baking – enhances elasticity and structure

  • Dairy & Beverages – prevents phase separation

  • Frozen Foods – stable under freeze-thaw cycles

Why Choose It:

  • Effective at only 0.1–0.5 % usage levels

  • Stable over a wide pH and temperature range

  • Compatible with hydrocolloids such as guar or locust bean gum

Our production complies with FSSAI, EU, and FDA safety regulations, ensuring consumer trust.

4. Pharmaceutical Formulations

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, Xanthan Gum ensures precise control of viscosity and product stability.

Used In:

  • Syrups & Suspensions – prevents sedimentation

  • Topical Gels – improves texture and spreadability

  • Tablets – acts as a binder and controlled-release polymer

  • Oral Care Products – provides smooth consistency

Petropath’s Pharma Grade Xanthan Gum features low microbial load and consistent rheology for reliable formulation performance.
