Guar Gum
Guar gum is a natural galactomannan polysaccharide extracted from the endosperm of guar beans (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), grown primarily in Rajasthan, India — which produces over 80% of the world's guar. It functions as a thickener, binder, stabiliser and viscosifier across a wide range of industries.
We supply three grades refined to different purity and viscosity specifications, each with full documentation including COA, allergen statement and grade-specific compliance certificates. Food-grade guar gum corresponds to EU food additive E412.

Guar Gum — Common Questions
What is the difference between food-grade, pharma-grade and industrial guar gum?
All three come from the same guar bean. Food grade meets the EU food additive specification E412. Pharma grade is tested against the USP or BP monograph, with tighter microbiological limits. Industrial grade is chosen for viscosity yield in drilling, textile printing and paper. See guar gum grades explained.
What viscosity grades of guar gum powder are available?
We supply 3500, 5000 and 7000 cps grades, measured as a 1% solution at 25 °C. Tell us your application and we will suggest a grade; the measured value and test condition are stated on every batch COA.
What mesh size is guar gum powder supplied in?
200 mesh is our standard. It hydrates quickly and mixes smoothly for most food, pharma and industrial uses. Other mesh sizes can be quoted on request.
Is guar gum E412?
Yes. Food-grade guar gum is the EU food additive E412, used as a thickener and stabiliser. Industrial grade is not intended for food.
How is guar gum used in oil well drilling (fracking)?
In hydraulic fracturing, guar gum thickens the water so it can carry sand into the fractures, and it is often crosslinked to raise viscosity further. Buyers usually specify the higher-viscosity grades and sometimes fast hydration.
How should guar gum powder be stored, and what is its shelf life?
Keep it in the sealed 25 kg multilayer bags in a cool, dry place. Moisture causes lumps and loss of viscosity. Stored this way, shelf life is 24 months.
