Xanthan gum is a kind of hydrophilic biological high-fraction polysaccharide obtained from corn starch, fermented by Xanthomonas bacterium, extracted, dried and crushed into finished products. Because of its superior thickening and stabilizing effects, shear resistance and unique pseudoplastic rheological properties, it is widely used in oil drilling fields.
