Xanthan Gum Powder 100g

Xanthan Gum Powder, Strong Thickener & Stabilizer for Gels, Slime & Liquids

Need powerful thickening with only a small amount? Xanthan Gum is a fine powder made from fermented sugar. When mixed with water, it quickly forms a thick, stretchy, gel-like texture. It is widely used in slime, sauces, cosmetics, cleaners, paints, and products to make liquids thicker and stop ingredients from separating.

Why Xanthan Gum Helps:

• Thickens liquids very quickly
• Works with small amounts
• Creates stretchy and gel-like texture
• Helps stop liquids from separating
• Works in hot or cold water
• Helps powders stay mixed evenly
• Improves texture and flow in gels and liquids

Xanthan Gum vs Other Common Thickeners:

• Xanthan Gum vs HEC: Xanthan thickens faster and stronger. HEC gives a smoother and lighter texture.
• Xanthan Gum vs CMC: Xanthan works in smaller amounts and gives more stretch. CMC gives better binding and glue-like hold.
• Xanthan Gum vs HPMC: Xanthan creates a heavier and more gel-like texture. HPMC feels creamier and smoother.

Xanthan Gum is best when you need very strong thickening and stability with only a little powder. Xanthan Gum is very strong, so even a small amount can make a big difference.

Best Uses for Xanthan Gum Powder:

• Slime making and DIY gel projects
• Adhesives, glue, and industrial paste
• Air-dry clay and craft paste
• Water-based paints and coatings
• Lotions, shampoos, and cosmetic gels
• Detergents and cleaning liquids
• Sauces and liquid mixtures
• Thickening water-based products that separate easily

How to Use Xanthan Gum Powder:

• Slowly stir the water or liquid.
• You can mix (wetting) the Xanthan Gum with a little IPA first to help stop lumps.
• Sprinkle the Xanthan Gum into the liquid a little at a time.
• Keep stirring while adding the powder so it mixes smoothly.
• Wait 1–3 minutes for the liquid to start getting thicker.
• It may take 5–15 minutes to become fully thick.
• Add more Xanthan Gum only if needed. A small amount can thicken a lot.

Recommended Amount: Use about 0.1% to 1% of the total liquid weight, depending on how thick you want it.

Helpful Tips:

• Start with a very small amount first.
• Mixing Xanthan Gum with IPA before water can help stop lumps.
• Too much Xanthan Gum can make the mixture too thick or sticky.
• Stirring too fast can create lumps.
• Warm water can help it mix faster.
