Description

Guar, Oxidized is a chemically modified polysaccharide derived from guar gum, characterized by its enhanced stability and tailored rheological properties. This modification is critical for applications requiring precise viscosity control and improved performance under a wider range of pH and ionic conditions. It serves as a key functional ingredient for formulators and process engineers in the personal care, textile, oilfield, and construction chemical industries.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a versatile thickener, stabilizer, and film-forming agent in shampoos, conditioners, creams, and lotions, offering smooth texture and enhanced shelf-life.
• Textile Printing & Sizing: Used as a highly efficient thickener in pigment printing pastes and warp sizing formulations, providing excellent color yield, sharp print definition, and easy wash-off.
• Oilfield Drilling & Fracturing Fluids: Functions as a fluid loss control additive and viscosifier in water-based drilling muds and hydraulic fracturing fluids, improving wellbore stability and proppant transport.
• Paper Manufacturing: Employed as a wet-end additive and coating agent to improve sheet formation, strength, and printability.
• Construction Chemicals: Serves as a water retention agent and workability aid in tile adhesives, gypsum products, and cement-based mortars.
• Food Industry (where compliant): Can be used as a stabilizer and thickener in certain food systems, subject to specific purity grades and regulatory approvals.
• Pharmaceuticals: Utilized as a binder and disintegrant in tablet formulations, as well as a viscosity modifier in topical gels and suspensions.
• Water Treatment: Acts as a flocculant aid and sludge dewatering agent in industrial and municipal water treatment processes.

Quality Control

Our Guar, Oxidized is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance and meets specifications for parameters such as viscosity, degree of substitution, pH, and moisture content. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment. Production can be aligned with cGMP guidelines and relevant industry standards (e.g., FCC, USP-NF for applicable grades) upon request.

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); ensure containers are sealed after each use to prevent caking and degradation due to moisture absorption. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
