Guar Gum powder (cas: 9000-30-0) It is a highly purified natural polysaccharide extracted from guar beans, a leguminous plant widely grown in the Indian subcontinent. Due to its unique molecular structure and naturalness, it quickly became a new environmentally friendly papermaking additive with superior performance; At the same time, it is widely used in fields such as food, petroleum, and medicine.

Guar gum is a large molecule natural hydrophilic colloid, belonging to natural galactomannan, one of the quality improvers, and a natural thickener. The appearance is a free flowing powder ranging from white to slightly yellow, which can dissolve in cold or hot water and form a gel like substance upon contact with water, achieving rapid thickening effect. It is mainly divided into two types: food grade and industrial grade (those used in oil fields belong to industrial grade). The general export packaging is 25KG/bag, with an outer layer of kraft paper and an inner layer of PE film bag. Widely used for thickening purposes such as oil fracturing and drilling, as well as in industries such as food additives, printing and dyeing, and building coatings. Guar gum is known as the most effective and water-soluble natural polymer. At low concentrations, it can form highly viscous solutions; It shows non Newtonian rheological properties and forms acid reversible gel with borax. Because of its unique properties, it is used in food, pharmacy, cosmetics, personal health care, oil, mosquito repellent, paper making, textile printing and dyeing and other industries.
