Viscosity Modifying agent DIUTAN GUM

Diutan gum DG-P

Diutan Gum DG-P Bopolymer is a premium grade, fine mesh, rapid hydrating, water soluble biopolymer produced by fermentation for use in gypsum and hydraulic cementitious systems, as a viscosity modifying agent (VMA) specifically used where super pseudplasticity characteristics are required such as cementitous materials and oll/gas drilling.

Description:
Diutan gum was developed specifically for use with cementitious materials and the newest class of superplasticizers. It enables formulators and designers to improve the performance of hardened materials by controlling flow, segregation, sedimentation and bleed. In addition, diutan develops a higher degree of pseudoplasticity, greater low shear rate viscosity (LSRV), and improved viscosity retention at elevated temperatures when compared to traditional polymeric rheology modifiers used in drilling, workover or completion fluids.
Diutan gum is a viscosity modifying agent (VMA) specifically used where super pseudplasticity characteristics are required such as cementitous materials and oll/gas drilling.

Specification

Dissolution

The dissolution of the product depends on the medium and the process: it is improved by heat-treatment (time, temperature), shear-stress (propeller, exchanger, homogenizer).  A complete dissolution can be obtained in cold conditions.

Packaging & Storage
Diutan gum is packaged in 50lb or 55lb plastic lined 4-layer paper bags and shipped via an approved common carrier. DOT classification – Non Hazardous.

Shelf Life
Diutan gum has a shelf life of 24 months from date of manufacture when stored in a clean dry area
