XANTHAN GUM 80 & 200 MESH
XANTHAN GUM 80 & 200 MESH – High-Performance Thickening & Stabilizing Agent
Xanthan Gum is a natural, high molecular weight polysaccharide used as a thickener, stabilizer, and suspending agent in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications. Available in 80 Mesh and 200 Mesh grades from leading global manufacturers like Meihua, Fufeng, and Deosen, this product offers superior consistency, excellent solubility, and high viscosity even at low concentrations.
The 80 mesh grade is coarser and ideal for applications where fast hydration is not critical, while the 200 mesh grade is fine and quick-dissolving—ideal for applications demanding rapid dispersion and uniform texture.
