Description

Guar Gum Base-Hydrolyzed is a modified polysaccharide derived from the endosperm of guar beans, specifically processed through base-catalyzed hydrolysis. This modification is critical for enhancing its solubility, reducing viscosity, and improving its functionality as a stabilizer and thickener in demanding formulations. It is an essential ingredient for industries requiring precise rheological control and enhanced product stability under varying pH conditions.

Application

• Food & Beverage: Used as a thickener, stabilizer, and texture modifier in sauces, dressings, dairy products, and low-viscosity beverages.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as a binder, disintegrant, and controlled-release agent in tablet formulations and as a suspending agent in liquid medications.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a viscosity modifier, emulsion stabilizer, and film-forming agent in lotions, creams, shampoos, and toothpastes.
• Oil & Gas Industry: Employed in hydraulic fracturing fluids as a friction reducer and in drilling muds for viscosity control.
• Textile & Paper: Acts as a sizing agent, thickener for prints, and improves sheet formation and retention in paper manufacturing.
• Industrial Applications: Used in water treatment, ceramics, explosives, and as a flocculant or binder in various industrial processes.

Quality Control

Our Guar Gum Base-Hydrolyzed is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for parameters such as viscosity, pH, moisture content, and microbial limits. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) and can support compliance with relevant standards including FCC for food grade and other industry-specific requirements 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); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent caking and degradation due to moisture absorption.
