Xanthan gums play a crucial role in soil treatment and protection in agriculture, offering a range of benefits that contribute to improved soil health and crop productivity. Our range of xanthan gums serves as a versatile rheology control agent for aqueous systems, widely utilised to enhance various agri-science applications. By increasing viscosity, stabilising emulsions, and preventing the settling of solids, xanthan gums help optimise soil treatments and protectants, ensuring their effectiveness in agricultural practices.
One of the key benefits of xanthan gums is their ability to increase viscosity in aqueous solutions. This property is particularly valuable in soil treatments, where maintaining the proper consistency of liquid formulations is essential for uniform application and distribution. By adjusting viscosity, xanthan gums ensure that soil amendments and protectants adhere to plant surfaces and penetrate the soil effectively, maximising their impact on crop health and soil fertility.
Furthermore, xanthan gums play a crucial role in stabilising emulsions, which is essential for the formulation of agricultural products such as pesticides, fertilisers, and soil conditioners. By preventing phase separation and maintaining the stability of emulsified formulations, xanthan gums ensure that active ingredients are evenly dispersed and remain effective throughout application. This contributes to consistent performance and reliable results in soil treatment and protection applications.
Moreover, xanthan gums help prevent the settling of solids in aqueous systems, which is particularly beneficial in soil treatments where suspension of particles is necessary for optimal performance. By keeping solid particles suspended in solution, xanthan gums ensure uniform distribution of nutrients, amendments, and protectants in the soil, enhancing their efficacy and promoting balanced nutrient uptake by plants.
Xanthan gums offer numerous benefits for soil treatment and protection in agriculture. As a rheology control agent, they increase viscosity, stabilise emulsions, and prevent settling of solids, ensuring the effectiveness and uniform distribution of agricultural products in the soil. With their versatility and performance-enhancing properties, xanthan gums play a vital role in optimising soil health, promoting crop productivity, and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
Product and customer insights
Despite numerous cleanings, the productivity of the Reverse Osmosis plant would not recover from severe membrane fouling. The membrane autopsy revealed that the ferric hydroxide was seeding
silica polymerization and that even while the ferric hydroxide was removed, the silica scaling was continuing to grow.
The plant was experiencing weekly shutdowns for fiber clean up (~ 3 kg bags of matted slurry is cleaned per week). The shut downs were costly as they reduce plant availability for production.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation, known as IMO 2020 was the the largest change in regulation relating to marine fuels impacting 75% of the fuel used by the shipping industry.
Keeping drilling costs low using Redi-Guard™ High Performance, an ecologically friendly drilling fluid technology with revolutionary rheological and shale encapsulation properties
AWC A-110 effectively inhibited scale at a dosage of 3.5 ppm and an operating pH of 6.9. This increase in operating pH reduced the district’s annual acid consumption by ~$350K per year based on their current production.
Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
MCI® -2020 V/O and ChemMaster’s Colorsil were chosen to repair and protect the walls based on their 20 year warranties and the fact that together they could fulfill the other specified repair design requirements.
The East Hokkaido region is known to have the highest volume of potato product in Japan. Unfortunately, a potato farmer in the area was experiencing a high rate of potato scab infection in his agricultural field.
