Introduce
Guar gum is a milky white powder obtained by grinding the endosperm of guar seeds.It is a water-soluble polymer that can form a semi transparent solution when dissolved in water.The aqueous solution is neutral and xhibits pseudoplastic fluid characteristics of non Newtonian fluids,with a stirring effect.Simultaneously,it has good compatibility with inorganic salts.

Usage
1.Its application in the petroleum industry mainly uses its viscosity to prepare gel to make water-based fracturing fluid to improve the production of later oil wells.In drilling fluid,it is used as a liquid loss control agent for drilling fluid.Guar gum is still used as the main component of cementing material in temporary sealing and plugging agents underground.
2.In the application of mineral processing,guar gum has a flocculation effect on clay and other minerals.It serves as an inhibitor of silicate minerals in mineral processing,improving the yield of ore.It has been successfully applied in potassium salt mines,nickel mines,copper mines,uranium mines,and gold mines.
3.The application of guar gum and modified guar gum in the papermaking industry can be used as adhesives and reinforcing agents for gluing in the slurry tank method of pulping machines.
4.Application in the textile industry.Guar gum is often used as a thickener or supplement for printing and dyeing pastes,as well as as as a binder for gluing textiles.
5.Application in coatings.Guar gum and modified guar gum are commonly used as thickeners in coatings to improve their performance.
6.Application in the tobacco industry.Adding guar gum to make large tobacco flakes from tobacco powder can reduce irritation,increase flexibility and stretchability.
7.Other applications.It is applied in various products such as pesticides,building materials,and mud preparation
