Xylan is a complex polysaccharide found in plant cell walls, primarily used as a renewable raw material in biofuel production, food additives, and paper manufacturing due to its gelling, thickening, and emulsifying properties. It is non-toxic and widely sourced from agricultural byproducts like corn husks, wheat straw, and sugarcane bagasse.
Molekula supplies Xylan at ⩾ 95.0% purity (Anhydrous) in 5 g packs, from £37.08 inc. VAT. It is in stock for same-day dispatch. Every batch ships with a certificate of analysis, and safety data sheets are available in 6 languages. Larger quantities, up to multi-tonne, are quoted on request.
