OIL WELL DRILLING & EXPLOSIVE

Used in:   Drilling fluid, Hydraulic fracturing etc.

Function:Guar Gum is widely used in oil well drilling due to its multi-function such as water loss control, viscosity control, friction reduction, lubrication and cooling of the drill bits. In explosives Guar improves resistance to water and aging  in explosives gels. Guar gum when used with transition metal  ions, increases viscosity. It also works as a thickening agent in blasting  slurry and for explosive mixture.

PHARMACEUTICALS

Used in:   Laxatives, Sustained release drug. Vitamins, Syrups etc.
Function: Recent studies make the Guar Gum powder very important  for pharmaceuticals industries, Different quality of Guar shows  different effects in medicine.
Tablet preparation: In tablet preparation Guar Gum powder is used as a binder and disintegrating agent for compressed tablets.
Laxatives: It increases the intestinal transit time and increases bulk & Stool.
Suspensions: It is a suitable suspending agent in anti-inflammatory drugs and also used in treatment of oral infections.

PAPER INDUSTRY

Used in:   Wrapping paper, Kraft, Photographic paper, Filter etc.

Function: Guar's cost effectiveness and properties make it a useful polymer for paper industry . It increases fold, tensile strength, pick and pulp and pulp hydration, simultaneously it decreases the porosity  and improves finish for better paper quality.

TEXTILE PRINTING SIZING

Used in:   Cotton Rayon, Silk, Wool sizing, Carpet printing etc.

Function: In sizing it increases the strength of warp thereby reducing its breakages and also reduces the dusting of sizing; machine. It has a good film forming property. It is used as a dispersant and thickening agent for dyes in textile printing.

COSMETICS

Used in:   Ointments, Lotions, Hair Shampoos, Hair Conditioners etc.

Function: Used as thickening agent, lubricating agent, suspending agent, detergent compatible thickener, protective colloid, film forming agent.

PASTE & CREAM

Used in:   Tooth paste, Shaving cream etc.

Function: Due to high viscosity, it imparts slip for extruding the paste from the tube without any excessive pressure.

MINING

Used in:  Concentration of ore, Filtration etc.

Function: Guar Gum is used in mining industry as a floatation agent, flocculating or setting agent, foam stabilizer and in the generation of back water.

TOBACCO

Used in:   Reconstitution of fragmentation in tobacco.

Function: Guar is used as a binder for fragmented tobacco fins in the manufacturer of reconstituted tobacco. It is used as binding and strengthening agent.
