Biopolymer RXPT is a versatile product and can be used in most types of water-based fluids for rheology modification, improved hole cleaning and solids suspension. It provides excellent friction reduction for coil tubing operations. It is useful over a wide pH range. Xanthan gum was the first truly stable thickener for hydrochloric acid used in the oilfield. Our Biopolymer RXPT  is uniquely stable, easily handled and useful in both oilfield and non-oilfield applications.
