Description

Guar Gum, Carboxymethyl Ether is a chemically modified polysaccharide derived from guar beans, known for its superior solubility and stability compared to native guar gum. This versatile hydrocolloid is engineered to provide exceptional thickening, stabilizing, and water-binding properties across a wide range of industrial applications. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the food, pharmaceutical, personal care, and oilfield industries seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Food & Beverage: Acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and texture enhancer in sauces, dressings, dairy products, and gluten-free baked goods.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a binder, disintegrant, and controlled-release agent in tablet formulations, and as a viscosity enhancer in liquid suspensions.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a rheology modifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, toothpastes, and shampoos, providing a smooth texture.
• Oil & Gas Drilling: Functions as a viscosifier and fluid loss control agent in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) fluids and drilling muds.
• Textile & Paper: Employed as a sizing agent, thickener in printing pastes, and for improving sheet formation in paper manufacturing.
• Industrial Applications: Used in water treatment, ceramics, explosives, and as a flocculant aid due to its anionic character and high viscosity.

Quality Control

Our Guar Gum, Carboxymethyl Ether is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Production adheres to relevant standards for food (FCC), pharmaceutical (where applicable), and industrial grades. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent viscosity, degree of substitution, purity, and performance. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment to guarantee specification compliance.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent caking and degradation due to moisture absorption.
