An Emerging Leader and Supplier of Gum Products
Fast Hydration Guar Gum powder comes in different grades of viscosity, which can be tailored by the use of enzymes, acids, or oxidizers. Regular guar gum gives viscosity after 2 hours but the fast hydration gaur gum gives viscosity in just few minutes. A spoonful of fast-hydrating guar gum powder can thicken a large amount of substance just in minutes. It has excellent thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing characteristics. It is a synthetic polymer, which is highly soluble in cold water, forms a strong hydrogen bonding, a de-foamer, and is ideal for oil, gas, and well drilling, slurry fluid, and can also stabilize the mudflow by controlling viscosity.
