CHIMIQUE™ Industrial Grade Guar Gum is a white to creamy-coloured, free-flowing powder obtained from the ground endosperm of natural strains of the guar plant (Cyamopsis Tetragonolobus) from the Leguminosae family, devoid of extraneous matter. It’s remarkable properties, including the ability to suspend solids, bind water via hydrogen bonding, regulate the viscosity of aqueous solutions, and form robust films, have led to its widespread adoption across various industries. As a natural product, its capacity to swell upon hydrolysis with water enables its use in diverse water systems for both food and industrial purposes. CHIMIQUE Industrial grade Guar Gum finds application in sectors such as paper, textile processing, explosives, detergents, drilling fluids, ceramics, paints, pharmaceutical, and food industry.
- Viscosity: Guar gum exhibits high viscosity, serving as an effective thickening agent.
- Water Solubility: Easily soluble in cold water, allowing for convenient incorporation into formulations.
- Film-Forming: Capable of forming strong, flexible films on surfaces, enhancing product stability.
- Hydrocolloid Properties: Absorbs and retains water, improving moisture retention in products.
- Stabilization: Stabilizes emulsions, suspensions, and colloidal systems, ensuring product uniformity.
- Binding: Binds water molecules via hydrogen bonding, enhancing texture and consistency.
- Non-Toxic and Biodegradable: Guar gum is environmentally friendly and safe for various applications.
- pH Stability: Maintains functionality over a wide pH range, suitable for acidic and alkaline formulations.
