Description

Succinoglycan is a high-molecular-weight, anionic exopolysaccharide produced by microbial fermentation, known for its exceptional rheological properties and stability across a wide range of temperatures, pH, and salinity. This biopolymer is valued for its ability to create high-viscosity, pseudoplastic solutions at low concentrations, making it a powerful and cost-effective thickening and suspension agent. It serves as a critical performance additive in demanding industrial applications, particularly in oilfield drilling and completion fluids, where its unique properties enhance fluid performance and operational efficiency.

Application

• Oilfield Drilling Fluids: Primary application as a high-performance viscosifier and fluid loss control agent in water-based, brine-based, and synthetic-based muds for enhanced hole cleaning and wellbore stability.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Used in polymer flooding operations to improve sweep efficiency and mobility control by increasing the viscosity of the injection water.
• Fracturing Fluids: Functions as a gelling agent to carry proppant in hydraulic fracturing operations, offering excellent shear-thinning behavior and thermal stability.
• Industrial Thickening: Effective thickener in coatings, adhesives, construction chemicals, and textile printing pastes due to its strong water-binding capacity and compatibility with various systems.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used in formulations such as lotions, creams, and gels as a natural, biodegradable rheology modifier and stabilizer.
• Agriculture: Employed in pesticide and herbicide formulations as a drift control and deposition aid, improving spray application efficiency.

Quality Control

Our Succinoglycan is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for key parameters including viscosity, purity, microbial load, and particle size distribution to ensure consistent performance and reliability in your formulations. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
