Description

Guar Gum,Carboxymethyl 2-Hydroxypropyl Ether is a chemically modified polysaccharide derived from guar beans, designed to offer enhanced solubility, stability, and rheological control compared to native guar gum. This derivative is critical for industries requiring precise viscosity modification and water-binding capabilities in challenging formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in sectors such as food technology, oilfield services, pharmaceuticals, and personal care, where consistent performance and regulatory compliance are paramount.

Application

• Food & Beverage: Acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in sauces, dressings, dairy products, and gluten-free baked goods.
• Oil & Gas Industry: Used as a friction reducer and viscosifier in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) fluids and drilling muds.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as a binder, disintegrant, and controlled-release matrix agent in tablet formulations.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a thickener and suspending agent in lotions, creams, shampoos, and toothpastes.
• Textile Printing: Employed as a thickener in dye pastes to achieve sharp print definition.
• Paper Manufacturing: Enhances sheet strength and improves retention of fillers and fines.
• Explosives: Used as a gelling agent in slurry explosives for stability and water resistance.
• Ceramics: Acts as a binder and rheology modifier in ceramic slips and glazes.

Quality Control

Our Guar Gum,Carboxymethyl 2-Hydroxypropyl Ether is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for key parameters such as viscosity, degree of substitution, moisture content, and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment. We can supply grades compliant with relevant standards, including FCC for food applications and guidelines for industrial use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent caking and degradation due to moisture absorption.
