Arcofeliz ™
XA series: Low-Endotoxin Xanthan Gum
Arcofeliz™ XA series is a high-performance, low-endotoxin xanthan gum manufactured by Nagase ChemteX. This natural high-molecular-weight polysaccharide is produced through the fermentation of glucose or sucrose with Xanthomonas campestris. It is specifically engineered as a premium biomaterial for applications requiring extreme biological purity and exceptional rheological stability.
Manufacturer:
Nagase ChemteX CorporationChemical Name:
Xanthan Gum (Low Endotoxin Grade)
Applications & Uses:
- Medical Devices & Biomaterials: Arcofeliz™ XA series acts as a high-purity stabilizer and thickener for hydrogels and topical formulations where low endotoxin levels are critical.
- Particle Suspension: Its high zero-shear viscosity ensures excellent suspension of active ingredients or particles in liquid formulations.
- Advanced Cosmetics: Used to create premium textures in serums and lotions, providing high stability and a smooth, non-drip application.
- Industrial Processes: The shear-thinning efficiency allows for easy pumping and filling during manufacturing, even for high-viscosity products.
Benefits:
- Biological Safety: Strictly controlled endotoxin levels (≦100 EU/g) minimize the risk of unintended biological responses.
- Exceptional Stability: Maintains consistent viscosity across a wide range of temperatures and pH levels without the risk of thermal reversal.
- Instant Structural Recovery: Returns to its high-viscosity state immediately after shear stress is removed, ensuring long-term formulation stability.

ISO9001Brand Description:
Arcofeliz™ XA is a premium brand of low-endotoxin xanthan gum developed by Nagase ChemteX Corporation. By combining the natural stability of high-molecular-weight polysaccharides with advanced purification technologies, Arcofeliz™ XA series provides a specialized solution for the most demanding fields in medicine, biotechnology, and high-end personal care. It represents our commitment to safety, quality, and functional excellence in biomaterials.Physical Properties:
| Appearance: | Natural high-molecular-weight polysaccharide. |
|---|---|
| Solubility: | Maintains stable viscosity across a wide range of temperatures and pH levels. |
| Rheology: | Exhibits unique pseudoplastic (shear-thinning) flow behavior. |
| State at Rest: | Forms a complex, entangled network resulting in high zero-shear viscosity. |
| Structural Recovery: | Instantly returns to a high-viscosity state once shear force is removed. |
Chemical Properties:
| Structure: | D-glucose backbone with trisaccharide side chains (Mannose-Glucuronic acid-Mannose). |
|---|---|
| Purity: | Strictly controlled low endotoxin levels (≦100 EU/g). |
| Stability: | Rigid, cellulose-like backbone provides exceptional stability under diverse chemical conditions. |
| Ionic Nature: | Features carboxyl groups (-COO^- M^+) on side chains, interacting with ions like Na^+, K^+, or Ca^{2+}. |
Mechanical Properties:
| Shear Resistance: | Polymer chains align under shear to significantly reduce hydrodynamic resistance. |
|---|---|
| Suspension Power: | High zero-shear viscosity provides excellent particle suspension capabilities. |
| Workability: | Low viscosity under shear allows for high efficiency during industrial pumping and filling. |
| Gel Characteristics: | Unlike gelatin, it does not form a thermally reversible gel, ensuring consistency across temperatures. |
