Application & Advantages

Application
Viscosify fresh water and brine-based fluids used for drilling, milling, underreaming, and gravel packing operations.
Suspend bridging agents and weighting materials in fresh water and brine systems.


Advantages

  • Helps disperses easily in fresh water mud, and brines

  • Provides thixotropic properties and non-Newtonian flow characteristics over a wide salinity range at low concentrations

  • Provides excellent suspension without the need for clays

  • Minimizes the potential for formation damage



Package

Dissolution
The dissolution of the product depends on the medium and the process: it is improved by heat-treatment (time, temperature), shear-stress (propeller, exchanger, homogenizer).  A complete dissolution can be obtained in cold conditions.


Packaging & Storage
Xanthan gum is packaged in 50lb or 55lb plastic lined 4-layer paper bags and shipped via an approved common carrier.
