Guar Gum Powder

Description

Guar gum, a natural gum, is an edible thickening agent extracted from the guar bean. Guar beans have a large endosperm which contains galactomannan gum which forms a gel in water. This is commonly known as guar gum and is widely used Food and industrial applications. Guar gum has also proven a useful substitute for locust bean gum. Guar Gum is a white to yellowish white powder and is nearly odorless. Fine finished Guar Gum Powder is available in different viscosities and granulometries depending on the desired viscosity development and applications.

Description : Guar gum, a natural gum, is an edible thickening agent extracted from the guar bean. Guar beans have a large endosperm which contains galactomannan gum which forms a gel in water. This is commonly known as guar gum and is widely used Food and industrial applications. Guar gum has also proven a useful substitute for locust bean gum. Guar Gum is a white to yellowish white powder and is nearly odorless. Fine finished Guar Gum Powder is available in different viscosities and granulometries depending on the desired viscosity development and applications.

Application and Use : Guar Gum is known as one of the best thickening additives, emulsifying additives and stabilizing additives. Uses and Applications One of the wide uses of guar gum is in top-hole oil well drilling. Industrial grade guar gum powder suitable for use in oil well fracturing, oil well stimulation, mud drilling and industrial applications and preparations as a stabilizer, thickener and suspending agent. It is a natural, fast hydrating dispersible guar gum and is diesel slurriable. In the oil field industry, guar gum is used as a surfactant, synthetic polymer and de-foam ideally suited for all rheological requirements of water-based and brine-based drilling fluids. It has high degree of substitution, good uniformity of substitution, high transparency, viscosity and water loss can be controlled. It is suitable for fresh water, sea water, saturated brine slurry, stabilizes soft soil structure, prevent collapse of wall of a well, it can improve mud-making volume, reduce filteration loss. It also has excellent performance in drilling of oil.

Physical Properties :

Advantages

•     Helps in reducing friction in the holes, minimizing the requirement of power.
•     Helps in minimizing water loss.
•     Enables the drilling fluids to move waste from the deepest of holes.
