XANVIS® Xanthan Gum

XANVIS® Xanthan Gum is a rheology control agent for water-based fluid, optimising viscosity, solids suspension with its high-performance pseudoplastic biopolymer. 

Introduction to XANVIS® Xanthan Gum

XANVIS® Xanthan Gum is a highly refined, clarified, dispersible biopolymer used for rheology control in water-based circulating systems.  It provides effective viscosity for solids transport and suspension where formation protection is critical.  Its pseudoplastic characteristics enable optimum rheology control through superior low shear rate viscosity (LSRV) that exhibits minimum values at high shear rates.  XANVIS® Xanthan Gum will perform effectively in all types of water-based circulating fluids from low solids to highly weighted systems. This includes fresh water, seawater and saline systems. 

XANVIS® Xanthan Gum provides the rheological properties for improved hydraulics. This includes minimising friction pressures for additional hydraulic horsepower at the bit to maximise penetration rates. The same rheology promotes laminar flow in the annulus for improved borehole stability and maximum solids transport capacity. XANVIS® Xanthan Gum produces a clarified fluid with a lower polymer residue upon breaking for minimum formation damage. 

XANVIS® Xanthan Gum and its ingredients are listed on the following chemical inventories:  TSCA, EINECS, DSL, AICS, ECL, ENCS, PICCS and Inventory of Existing Chemicals in China.  Xanthan gum is REACH exempt and glyoxal’s REACH obligation is properly fulfilled.  

XANVIS® Xanthan Gum application areas

If you are looking to enhance rheology control, solids suspension, and formation protection in your water-based circulating systems and oilfield drilling operations, we have the solution for you. 

XANVIS® Xanthan Gum enhances hydraulics by minimising friction pressures, providing additional hydraulic horsepower at the bit to maximise penetration rates. It promotes laminar flow in the annulus for improved borehole stability and maximum solids transport capacity. 

XANVIS® Xanthan Gum delivers effective viscosity for solids transport and suspension, ensuring formation protection. Its clarified fluid results in lower polymer residue upon breaking, minimising formation damage.
