XY-502 Xanthan Gum Suspending Agent for Fertilizers and Pesticides

Application

• Suspension of inorganic powders.
• Thickening, suspension and stabilisation of coatings.
• Thickening, suspension and stabilisation of fertilisers.
• Thickening, emulsification and suspension of pesticide formulations.
• Suspension in water treatment.
• Thickening and suspension for oil-drilling isolation fluids.

Formulation Type

Aqueous fertilizer and pesticide suspensions and other documented aqueous dispersions.

Key Benefits

The following functions are described in the published source; they are not measured results for every formulation.

• Strong pseudoplastic flow — high viscosity at rest and low shear, falling quickly under high shear.
• The source sheet reports no significant viscosity change between 10 °C and 80 °C.
• Soluble and stable under acidic and alkaline conditions, with an indicated optimum pH range of 5-10.
• Stable in the presence of most salts, including potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium.
• Resistant to oxidation and enzymatic degradation.

Technical Data

See the technical specifications table above and the source TDS below. Keep the stated units, dosage basis and test conditions together when comparing grades.

About the viscosity figure

The sheet gives viscosity as greater than 600 cP but does not state the concentration, temperature, instrument or spindle used, nor the basis for the 0.1%-0.5% addition level. Confirm both under your own formulation conditions before setting a specification.
