VANZAN^® NF

VANZAN^® NF Xanthan Gum is a general-purpose grade suitable for most pharmaceutical applications. VANZAN NF is widely used as a rheology control agent for aqueous systems. It increases viscosity, helps to stabilize emulsions, and prevents the settling of solids in a wide variety of pharmaceutical applications.

The rheology of VANZAN NF solutions is remarkably stable over a broad temperature range and will not change significantly between ambient temperature and 60°C. Additionally, VANZAN NF has excellent freeze/thaw stability. VANZAN NF is recommended for use in both acidic and alkaline systems and will retain nearly constant viscosity between pH 2 and pH 12. Mixtures of xanthan gum with water-swellable clays or certain galactomannans produce synergistic rheological effects. The mixtures will provide greater thickening, stabilizing and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture.

VANZAN NF finds applications in products such as antacid suspensions, antidiarrheal suspensions, treatment lotions, external analgesics, and dental treatments and pastes.

Typical Use Levels: Between 0.1% and 1%
