Diutan gum
What is Diutan gum?
Diutan gum (CAS 125005-87-0) is a high-molecular-weight microbial polysaccharide produced by fermentation.
Where is Diutan gum used?
- Cement and concrete: suspends aggregates and controls bleed water without retarding set time
- Self-leveling and shotcrete formulations: critical performance requirement
- Oilfield drilling and completion fluids: maintains viscosity and particle suspension under high-temperature conditions
- High-salinity environments: remains stable where many other biopolymers fail
- Food: stabilizes emulsions and controls texture in beverages, dressings, and dairy-style products at low use levels
- Personal care: builds viscosity in rinse-off and leave-on products
- It also improves foam stability and the overall sensory profile of cosmetic and hygiene formulations.
Commercial specifications
- Industrial grades in 25 kg bags or bulk quantities
