What is Welan Gum?
Welan Gum is an exopolysaccharide that is used in the production of cement as a rheology modifier. It's made by bacteria from the species Alcaligenes fermenting sugar. The molecule is made up of repeated tetrasaccharide units connected by single L-mannose or L-rhamnose branches. The gum retains its viscosity at high temperatures in solution and is stable throughout a wide pH range, in the presence of calcium ion, and with high glycol concentrations. Microbial exopolysaccharides are high molecular weight, environmentally benign natural polymers that have uses in a variety of sectors, including food, pharmaceuticals, cement systems, and cosmetics. Welan gum, a microbial product, has a unique set of characteristics and uses that set it apart from other exopolysaccharides. North America is the dominant most markets of welan gum.
