Fast Hydration Guar Gum Powder

Guar plant, also known as cluster bean is a drought resistant plant from leguminous family. This plant is cultivated in large scale for its seed, vegetable, green manuring, etc. The seeds are processed into gum powder and fast hydration powder and into different grades in accordance with industrial usage. Fast hydration is one of the varieties of this crop extract which contains special properties such as,

This product is applied as natural thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer and bonding agent. Apart from that this product is also used as an excellent hydrocolloid, natural fiber and fracturing agent. It is naturally fast in hydrating and becomes dispersible and suits best for oil well drilling, incessant fracturing and diesel slurry functions. When it comes to oil well industry, this product is found to be applicable for multiple functions for its fast hydration feature. Some of the usages include,

• Fluid and water loss control
• Viscosity control
• Lubricator
• Used for cooling of drill bits
• Mud drilling and Cementing slurries

This is a non-ionic and natural fast hydrating slurriable guar variety. The viscous property of this crop is slurrible upto 50% solids in diesel fuel. It is used for stimulation of oil and gas in aqueous system and works very well as a fracturing fluid. This quality makes this product an excellent option for good hydration, shell life, thermal stability, etc. It works with borates when cross linked and it shows good bearing capacity when combined with proppants and sand that are used in the created fracture. The viscosity can be reduced when combined with oxidizers, acids or enzymes and even with HCL.
