Gaur Gum Products

WHAT IS GUAR GUM ?

Guar Gum Powder is extracted from the Guar Seed after a multistage industrial process. The most important property of Guar Gum is its ability to hydrate rapidly in cold water to attain uniform and very high viscosity at relatively low concentrations. Its colloidal nature gives excellent thickening to the solution.

Guar Gum, either modified or unmodified is a very versatile and efficient natural polymer covering a number of applications in various industries like food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paper, textile, construction, oil & gas well drilling, mining etc, due to its cost effective emulsifying and thickening properties.

Saboo Sodium Chloro Ltd. has set up a 500 TPM fast hydration Guar gum powder project in Nawa city, using state-of-the-art technology. The product is available in 25kg, 50 kg and 1000 kg export-worthy bulk bags and jumbo bags.

Functions : It is a good thickener, stabilizing and suspending agent for veterinary preparations, It forms gels and retains moisture.

Oil & Gas Well Drilling

Functions : It is widely used in oil and gas well drilling due to its multi function such as fluid and water loss control, lubrication and cooling of drill bits, shale inhibitor and solids carrier. It has excellent solution rheology, stability, solubility and compatibility with other auxiliaries used in oil well drilling.

Mining & Construction

Used in : Concentration of ore, filtration etc.

Functions : Floating agent, flocculating or setting agent, foam stabilizer, back water generator.

Pharmaceuticals

Used in :Laxatives, sustained release drug, vitamins, syrups.

Functions : Used as a binder & disintegrating agent in tablet perpetration. Used in laxatives to increase intestinal transit time and to increase stool. Suitable suspending agent in anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.

Paper Industry

Used in : Wrapping papers, crafts, photographic paper, filter etc.

Functions : Guar’s cost effectiveness and properties make it a useful polymer for paper industry. It increases fold, tensile, strength, pick and pulp hydration. Simultaneously it decreases the porosity and improves finish.

Textile Industry

Used in : Cotton, rayon, silk, wool sizing, carpet printing etc.

Functions : In sizing it increases the strength of the wrap thereby reduces its breakages and also reduces the dusting of sizing machine. It is used as a dispersant and thickening agent for dyes in textile printing.

Tobacco Industry

Used in : Cigar, Cigarette, Kreteks, Gutka etc.

Functions : Guar Gum is used as a binder for fragmented tobacco fins of reconstituted tobacco. It is used as a binding and strengthening agent.

Toothpaste

Used in : Toothpaste, ointments, conditioners etc.

Functions : Its high viscosity & lubrication property, imparts slip for extruding the paste from the tube without any excessive function. Its used as detergent compatible thickener, lubricator, suspender & film forming agent etc.

Cream & Cosmetics

Used in : Lipstick, Shaving cream, hair shampoos etc.

Functions : Used as thickening agent, lubricating agent, suspending agent, detergent compatible thickener, protective colloids, film forming agent.

Miscellaneous

Used in : Water based paints, Explosives, Photography, Water treatment, Fire fighting, Incense sticks, Mosquito coils & mats, Soups, Snacks, Puddings, Noodles, Gem, Ceramics, Synthetic resin, Wallpapers, Polishes, Battery electrolytes, Printing inks etc.

Fast Hydration Guar Gum Powder

Fast hydration guar gum powder is also knows as quick hydration guar gum powder, rapid hydration guar gum powder, It is also knows as diesel slurry guar gum. It is used in oil drilling industries, gas drilling industries and other well drilling industries.

Regular guar gum gives viscosity after 2hours and fast hydration gaur gum powder gives viscosity in few minutes.

Saboo Sodium Chloro Ltd. produces high quality fast hydration guar gum powder.

Fast Hydration Slurriable Guar

The natural fast hydrating and slurriable guar is a non ionic guar, polymeric viscosifier that is slurriable up to 50 percent of solids in systems such as diesel fuel. In aqueous systems, its main use is in the stimulation of oil and gas wells as a fracturing fluid. This yields excellent pump ability, good hydration, good thermal stability and excellent shell life. It can be typically cross linked with borates and once cross linked it exhibits excellent carrying capacity to support sand or other propants to be placed in the created fracture. The viscosity of hydrating slurriable guar can be reduced or broken by using enzymes, oxidizers or acids such as HCL.

Applications

Industrial grade Guar gum powder are 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 deformer ideally suited for all rheological requirements of water-based and brine-based drilling fluids.
High viscosity Guar Gum products are used as drilling aids in oil well drilling, geological drilling and water drilling.
These products are used as viscosifiers to maintain drilling mud viscosities that enable drilling fluids to remove drill waste from deep holes.
Guar gum products also reduce friction in the holes, and so minimising power requirements. Some Guar Gum products act to minimise water loss should occur in broken geological formations.

Properties of Guar Gum
