Guar the Magical Seed


Extracted fromGuar Seed, Guar Gum Powder is a natural polymer having high viscosity.

Guar gum has a significant contribution to the look and feel of many products we use in our everyday life. Extracted with a multistage industrial process,It is used throughout various industries as a cost effective thickening and stabilizing agent.

Guar gum can be used in various formulations. It works as an emulsifier because it helps to prevent oil droplets from coalescing, and as a stabilizer because it helps to prevent solid particles from settling. Guar gum is a hydrocolloid, which is particularly useful for making thick pastes without forming a gel, and for keeping water bound in a sauce or emulsion. Fast hydrating slurriable guar is used in the stimulation of oil and gas wells as fracturing fluid.

Neelkanth Polymers produces High Viscosity Guar Refined Splits, Guar Gum Powder, Guar Gum Derivatives, Fast Hydrating Guar Gum and High Protein Guar Meal.
