DUO-VIS xanthan gum is a high-molecular weight biopolymer used to increase viscosity in water-base fluids. DUO-VIS is developed with unique chemistry designed to produce a fluid that is highly shear-thinning and thixotropic. This characteristic optimizes the rheological profile of the fluid by elevating the low-shear-rate-viscosity to improve hole cleaning index while also delivering a highly shear-thinning fluid optimizing hydraulics.
