It is  high-molecular weight biopolymer, provides versatile rheology control in a wide range of brines, drilling and fracturing fluids. Xanthan gum is considered non-hazardous and suitable for use in environmentally sensitive locations and applications. It is a highly dispersible powder that can be used for a variety of oilfield applications that use standard grade xanthan gum. It is  readily disperses and can be mixed into water under low shear conditions without the formation of lumps and “fisheyes” often seen with non-dispersible polymers, improving utility and efficiency.

In addition to its improved dispersibility,it has the typical properties of xanthan gum for oilfield use – excellent rheological control for water-based drilling, completion and work-over fluids in a wide range of brines.
