Industrial Grade Xanthan Gum, Pro-XTG IN
Industrial grade Pro-XTG IN xanthan gum for SC and EW pesticide formulations. Provides high viscosity, shear thinning, and stability. Supplied by trusted manufacturers in China
- CAS No.
- 11138-66-2
Pro-XTG IN functions as a hydrophilic colloid to thicken, suspend and stabilize water-based pesticide formulations like suspension concentration (SC) and concentrated emulsion (EW).
Outstanding Merits
- With very low concentration, Pro-XTG IN gives high viscosity while keeps extreme pseudoplasticity, or shear thinning.
- Outstanding stability with respect to pH, salt and heat.
- Excellent compatibility even synergistic effect with other thickener and suspending agent like magnesium aluminum silicate or additives like smectite clay.
- Because of its high molecular weight, Pro-XTG IN also can be part of anti-drift agent.
