Welan gum used in cementing additive

Welan gum is a biopolysaccharide via Alcaligenes fermentation using starch or other carbohydrates by the method of biological engineering.Welan gum mainly used in cementing additive.
Welan Gum is used in various industries where high molecular weight biopolymers are useful. A short list of products containing Welan Gums include various oilfield applications, foundry coating, pigment suspensions, cement or concrete viscosifiers, tire sealants and paint thickeners.
It is a tetrasaccharide repeating unit consisting of D-glucose, D-glucuronic acid, L-rhamnose, and L-mannose. From the molecular formula, because of its hydrogen in the polymer chain between the two glycosidic rings, resulting in significant increase in viscosity of the solution system to enable it to better adhesion to the surface of the material, the solution system to produce a large Range of the bridge effect, thereby increasing the yield value, in the standing or moderate shear force to keep the solution system better cohesion, it has excellent thickening, rheology and suspension stability.
Welan Gum exhibits superior temperature stability over 200°F in fresh water and low pH fluids. Fritz Welan Gum is a tan colored dry powder with a density of 26.25 lbs/ft3.
