Xanthan Gum (E415) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- E415
- Corn Sugar Gum
- Xanthomonas Campestris Gum
Xanthan gum is a water-soluble polysaccharide powder used by manufacturers as a thickener, stabiliser and rheology modifier. ChemTrade handles bulk xanthan gum enquiries in Malaysia, including material described as E415, corn sugar gum or xanthomonas campestris gum, with commercial details confirmed in the quotation.
Food grade xanthan gum is used in sauces, dressings, beverage preparations, bakery fillings and gluten-free dough systems. Personal-care formulators use specified grades in shampoos, liquid cleansers, gels, toothpaste, creams and lotions, while industrial and drilling-fluid grades are selected for coatings, cleaners, process slurries and water-based drilling fluids.
When hydrated, xanthan gum forms viscous, shear-thinning solutions that help suspend particles and stabilise emulsions while remaining easier to pump, mix or pour under shear. Particle size, dispersion behaviour and viscosity test method can influence grade selection, so a current specification or reference grade is useful when matching an existing formulation.
Send the intended application, required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery route and timing are confirmed with the quotation, and pricing is issued with a stated validity period.

Xanthan Gum grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food grade xanthan gum | fine white to cream-coloured powder | — | Thickening, suspension and emulsion stability in sauces, dressings, beverage preparations, bakery fillings and gluten-free dough systems. State the required food-grade specification and formulation use when enquiring. | — |
| General industrial grade xanthan gum | white to cream-coloured powder | — | Rheology control and particle suspension in water-based coatings, cleaners, adhesives and process slurries. Specify the required viscosity method, dispersion behaviour and any limits important to the process. | — |
| Drilling-fluid grade xanthan gum | dispersible powder | — | Viscosity and solids suspension in water-based drilling fluids. Send the fluid system, performance specification and test method so the required grade can be quoted. | — |
| Personal-care grade xanthan gum | fine powder | — | Thickening, stabilisation and suspension in shampoo, liquid cleanser, toothpaste, gel, cream and lotion formulations. Buyers should state any required colour, odour, microbiological and viscosity criteria. | — |

Safety and handling
Store sealed in a cool, dry place and protect the powder from moisture. Minimise dust during handling and follow the controls specified for the quoted grade.
Common questions about xanthan gum
What is the difference between food, industrial and personal-care grades?
Food grade is selected for food formulations and quoted against the buyer's required specification. Industrial and drilling-fluid grades focus on process performance, while personal-care grades may require tighter colour, odour or microbiological limits. State the end use and acceptance criteria so the correct grade can be considered.
Is E415 the same as xanthan gum?
Yes. E415 is the identifier commonly used for xanthan gum in food applications. An E number alone does not define every purchasing parameter, so include the required food-grade specification and any documentation needed for your approval process.
Which viscosity and particle-size specification should I send?
Send the required viscosity value together with its test concentration, temperature and method, because values from different methods are not directly comparable. Include mesh or particle-size requirements when dispersion speed or dust control matters in the process.
How can xanthan gum be dispersed without forming lumps?
A common approach is to add the powder gradually under effective agitation or preblend it with another dry ingredient before hydration. Some formulations use a compatible liquid slurry, but the sequence should be checked against the full formulation and process equipment.
Is xanthan gum suitable for personal-care formulations?
Specified personal-care grades are used as rheology modifiers, stabilisers and suspending agents in shampoos, liquid cleansers, toothpastes, gels, creams and lotions. State the formulation type and required viscosity, colour, odour and microbiological limits when enquiring.
How is xanthan gum price quoted?
Price depends on the selected grade, viscosity specification, particle-size requirement, quantity and packing. Send these details with the delivery location for a current quotation with a stated validity period.
What packing and documents can be requested with a quotation?
Send the preferred pack size and list any specification sheet, safety data sheet, batch certificate or other document required by your approval process. Packing, document availability and the parameters covered are confirmed for the grade being quoted.
