Guar Gum Powder in Bulk

Guar gum is a galactomannan milled from the seed of the guar bean, and it thickens cold water at a fraction of the dose most other hydrocolloids need. India grows the overwhelming majority of the world crop, largely in Rajasthan and Gujarat. BulkFineChem supplies food and industrial grades to food processors, textile printers, paper mills and oilfield service companies across India.

Specification

Viscosity, mesh size and moisture are the figures that govern performance, and all are stated on the batch Certificate of Analysis.

• CAS No. 9000-30-0
• HSN Code 13023230
• Viscosity typically 3000 to 5500 cps at 1 percent solution
• Mesh 100 to 300 depending on grade
• Packing: 25 kg HDPE or paper bags with inner liner

Applications

Guar hydrates very quickly, so it must be dispersed properly or it forms lumps that never fully dissolve.

• Thickener and stabiliser in ice cream, sauces, bakery and dairy
• Thickener in textile printing pastes
• Wet-end additive and retention aid in paper manufacture
• Fracturing fluid viscosifier in oil and gas drilling
• Binder in animal feed and pet food

Handling and Storage

The powder is inert and food safe, but it becomes extremely slippery when wet and can block drains as it swells.

• Store sealed in a dry area; moisture causes lumping and viscosity loss
• Disperse in a vortex or pre-mix with sugar or oil to avoid lumps
• Wet powder is a slip hazard; clean spills dry
• Keep away from strong oxidisers
• SDS issued on request

FAQs

Questions buyers commonly ask about guar gum.

• Guar or xanthan? Guar is cheaper and thickens more per kilo; xanthan is more stable to acid, salt and shear.
• Why is my solution lumpy? Poor dispersion; pre-mix the powder or add it into a strong vortex.
• Is food grade available? Yes, with full food grade documentation on request.
• Can I get a sample? Yes, trial quantities can be arranged.
• What documents are provided? GST invoice, batch CoA, and TDS or SDS on request.
