Chemical Formula C35H49O29

Molecular Weight Varies (approximately 1,000,000 g/mol)

Xanthan gum 200 mesh  is a finely milled form of xanthan gum that has been processed to pass through a 200 mesh screen, resulting in a fine powder. Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide produced by the fermentation of sugar by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. It is widely used in food and pharmaceutical applications as a thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying agent. The ""USP"" designation indicates that it meets the quality and purity standards set by the United States Pharmacopeia, making it suitable for use in various formulations, including medications and dietary products.

Industrial Uses

1. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

  • Thickener & Stabilizer: Used in sauces, dressings, gravies, soups, and dairy products to provide smooth and stable consistency. Prevents separation of ingredients in products like ketchup, mayonnaise, and ice cream.
  • Gluten-Free Baking: In gluten-free products like bread, cakes, and pastries, Xanthan Gum mimics gluten’s binding properties, preventing crumbling and improving dough elasticity.
  • Emulsifier & Suspension Agent: Used in juices, flavored drinks, and nutritional supplements to maintain a uniform suspension of ingredients. Prevents sedimentation of solids in beverages like chocolate milk and protein shakes.

2. Pharmaceuticals

  • Excipient: Acts as a suspending agent to keep active ingredients evenly distributed in liquid medications. Prevents separation and enhances the stability of pharmaceutical suspensions.
  • Controlled-Release Drug Delivery: Used in tablets and capsules to control the release rate of active ingredients. Provides prolonged drug action, ensuring better efficacy.

3. Personal Care

  • Thickening agent: Acts as a thickening agent to improve consistency and stability.Stabilizes emulsions, providing smooth texture and enhancing spreadability.
  • Stabilizer: Helps prevent ingredient separation and ensures consistent performance throughout the product. 

4. Cleaning & Disinfectants Solutions

  • Liquid Soaps & Detergents: Enhances the viscosity of dishwashing liquids and laundry detergents. Prevents ingredient separation in liquid formulations.
  • Hand Sanitizers & Disinfectant Gels: Improves gel consistency for better application and spreadability. Ensures even distribution of antibacterial agents for effective sanitation.

5. Energy

  • Drilling Fluids Additive: Provides high viscosity for drilling muds, improving the suspension of solid particles. Reduces friction, preventing equipment damage during drilling.
  • Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Helps maintain the stability of water-based and oil-based fluids used in hydraulic fracturing. Improves the flow of crude oil from the reservoir.

6. Agrochemicals 

  • Pesticide & Herbicide Formulations: Prevents sedimentation of active ingredients, ensuring even dispersion. Improves the adhesion of pesticides to plant surfaces.
  • Seed Coatings & Fertilizers: Used in seed treatments to enhance germination and protect against fungal infections. Helps fertilizers dissolve evenly in irrigation systems.
