Guar Gum Is Proven To Be An Effective Drilling Fluid Additive
- In drilling and hydraulic fracturing, guar gum powder creates a sludgy mass that boosts the efficiency of pumping and delivery. In mining, it enhances the process of lump aggregation and recovery ores. Read our case study to discover why Guar is a more effective thickener in drilling than other drilling fluid additives such as Xanthan Gum and other vscosifiers.
Guar Use Within The Textile And Printing Industries
- The textile industry finds guar to be invaluable in printing and fabric colors. The powder creates a sticky paste compound that allows for painting on textiles without bleeding or bulging. Guar is also used in the large-scale production of paper, as it provides a denser surface for printing, improves uniformity, sheet formation and fold strength.
Guar Is A Prevalent Ingredient In Cosmetic Products
For manufacturers of personal care products such as lotions, shampoos, soaps, skin care and anti-aging products, eye and facial makeup, lipsticks, toothpaste, shaving creams and lubricants to name a few, the use of guar is just as prevalent.
Guar Gum Use Within The Pharmaceutical Industry
For manufacturers of pharmaceutical products, guar is often used as a binder and disintegrator in tablets, as a delivery application in drugs and as a natural fiber. It also may reduce cholesterol and promote weight loss.
How Guar Helps The Mining and Oil Drilling Industries
- In mining, due to its natural properties Guar acts as floatation agent, improves flocculation and enhances the process of lump aggregation and recovery ores.
Guar And The Paper Printing and Manufacturing Industry
- Guar is used in the large-scale production of paper, as it provides a denser surface for printing, improves uniformity and sheet formation. It also increases bursting strength and fold strength.
Guar Gum Supply For Pet And Animal Products
- When used in cat litter, guar acts as a clumping agent that captures waste and creates a mass that is easily scooped. It also helps to improve the functionality of sodium bentonite, which serves to keep the waste contained within the litter box. Additionally, Guar’s highly soluble fiber thickens and stabilizes pet food, is often an ingredient in livestock feed and guar protein is frequently found in fish feed.
Guar’s Properties Benefit The Construction Industry
- The construction industry benefits from guar’s water retention and thickening properties, which serve as a mortar retarder that improves flowability.
Guar As A Thickening Agent And Fire Retardant
- When blended with clay in fire-retardants, guar becomes a thickening agent that prevents fragmentation after it is dropped from a plane.
