Guar gum powder with high viscosity and fast hydration

Guar gum is free-flowing pale or off-white powder obtained from the guar seeds by dehusked, milled and screened.

About 80% production of guar gum powder is produced by India. Western states of India produces large amount of guar gum powder.


Guar gum powder has wide application range in many industries due to its useful qualities. Guar Gum Powder is widely used as an emulsifier or stabilizer. It is used for nutritional supplements.

Guar gum powder is used in oil-based and water-based products to decrease the separation of ingredients. It contains high viscosity and fast hydration. So it is used for oil well drilling, continuous fracturing and diesel slurry.

It is also used as a thickening agent, gelling agent, fracturing agent and binding agent for various different applications in various industries. Guar gum powder finds it applications in food industries. It is widely used in manufacturing of sauces, ketchups, soups and pickles, in bakery for bread and confectionary products, frozen foods, ice cream, cakes, puddings and meat products, noodles and many more edible products. It is also used in toothpaste, shaving cream and cosmetics. It is used in many industries like drilling and mining, oil and gas well drilling, paper formation, coal mining and synthetic resin formation and mosquito coils.

•    Ideal emulsifier and stabilizer
•    Excellent binding and thickening agent

Guar gum powder, versatile binding and thickening agent

The guar seeds are dehusked, milled and screened to get the guar gum powder. It is used in variety of industry due to its many ideal qualities, but mainly used in the food industry as an emulsifier or stabilizer. It is also used as a thickening agent, gelling agent, binding agent, fracturing agent in the various industries. It is also used in textile, pharmaceuticals, nutrition, health care, construction, mining, cosmetics, paper, oil and well drilling and many more.

India is the largest guar gum powder producing nation in the world. We produce more than 80 % of the total production of guar gum powder.

The useful quality of guar gum powder is its ability to hydrate quickly in cold water. It makes uniform and high viscosity at low concentrations. It is versatile and economical natural polymer. Its shelf life is very long. Guar gum powder is highly absorbent in nature. When mixed with oil-based and water-based products, it helps to decrease separation.

Guar gum is available in various viscosity ranges.  It hydrates immediately. The guar gum powder is used for oil well drilling. In well drilling instantaneous high viscosity and quick hydration is required. Guar gum powder provides required   viscosity and hydration.
