Guar Gum is an important non-caloric source of soluble dietary fiber. Guar gum powder is widely used in capsules as dietary fiber. Fiber is a very important element of any healthy diet. It is useful in clear and cleanses the intestinal system since fiber can not be digested. This keeps the intestines functioning properly and also improves certain disorders and ailments. All natural fiber diet works with body to achieve a feeling of fullness and to reduce hunger. Its synergistic mix of guar gum and fiber mixture when taken with water expands in stomach to produce a feeling of fullness.
Guar Gum for Cosmetic Industries
- Used as a thickener, protective colloid in Skin care products, creams an
- Also used in toothpaste, and shaving cream for easy extruding from the container tube.

Guar Gum for Paper Industry
- Guar Gum provides better properties compared to substitutes.
- It gives denser surface to the paper used for printing.
- Guar Gum imparts improved erasive and writing properties, better bonding strength & increased hardness.
- Due to improved adhesion, it gives better breaking, mullen and folding strengths.
Guar Gum for Textile Industry
- Guar Gum gives excellent film forming and thickening properties when used for textile sizing, finishing and printing.
- It reduces warp breakage, reduces dusting while sizing and gives better efficiency in production.
Guar Gum in Oil Field Applications
- Industrial grade Guar gum powder are used in oil well fracturing, oil well stimulation, mud drilling and industrial applications 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 minimizing power requirements. Some Guar Gum products act to minimize water loss should occur in broken geological formations.
Guar Gum Metallurgical and Mining
- Guar gum is widely used as a flocculant to produce liquid solid separation
- Guar gum is also used in flotation. It acts as a depressant for talc or insoluble gangue mined along with the valuable minerals
Guar Gum Explosives Applications
- Gelling agents for gel sausage type explosives and pumpable slurry explosives
- Cross-linking agents for gel and slurry explosives systems
