Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Vis-HPM, Industrial Grade
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), is non ionic cellulose ether, and a modified cellulose ether derivatives polymer that is off-white in color and considered safe for human consumption.
Xanthan Gum
Vis-HG
Oil and Gas Field, Mining and Industrial Applications
Xanthan Gum is a high molecular weight anionic polysaccharide polymer produced by the fermentation of starch by Xanthomonas Campestris. It has high stability, resistance to acid and alkali, high salt environment, high temperature and low temperature freezing, anti-biodegradation, and strong anti-pollution ability. Xanthan Gum is widely used in food, personal care products, pharmaceuticals acting as thickener, suspension agent, emulsifier and stabilizer and etc.
CAS No.: 11138-66-2
Formula: (C3H49O29)n
Function: Emulsifier, Foaming Agent, Stabilizer, Thickener
Package: 25 kg bag, 50 lb bag or customization.

Applications
Applications | Functions |
Oil and Gas Field | Acts as a rheology modifier in water-based drilling fluids, workover fluids or completion fluids, to produce low shear rate viscosity and enhance suspension capacity. Its aqueous solution shows higher viscosity and excellent rheology at a low concentration. It maintains a high viscosity in a relatively stationary drilling area, preventing the collapse of the well-wall. |
Mining Drilling | |
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) | Functions to boost drilling fluid viscosity without substantially increasing fluid density. Reduces the total amount of bentonite required to achieve similar rheological fluid properties. |
Mining | Prevent ore deposition during production and increase foam stability. |

Hydroxyethyl cellulose, Vis-HE, Industrial Grade
Ethylcellulose (HEC) is a white or light yellow, odorless, non-toxic fibrous or powdery solid, prepared by etherification of basic cellulose and ethylene oxide (or chloroethanol) Ionic soluble cellulose ethers.
Cellulose Gum, Vis-CT, Industrial Grade
Cellulose Gum (Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose) is a high purity, fine cellulose ether. It is widely used in food products and performs as multifunctional additive such as thickener, stabilizer, blinder, water retention agent and film formation agent.
