Liquid Xanthan & Proprietary Polymers
JUMP TO

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

RiXan-1L is a high performance liquid xanthan gum manufactured using patented high-shear dispersion technology, suspended in a high-quality mineral oil with proprietary ingredients to maintain performance and suspension. RiXan-1L is a versatile product that can be used in most types of water-based fluids for rheology modification, hole cleaning and solids suspension. It is also compatible with other mud additives commonly used in these fluids. RiXan-1L performs effectively in freshwater and saltwater-based muds, as well as in various brine-based workover and completion fluids of a wide range of pH.
