properties
physical characteristics
guar gum is a white to yellowish white powder. It is nearly odorless. Fine finished guar gum powder is available in different viscosities and different granulometries depending on the desired viscosity development and application.
Guar gum is a natural high molecular weight hydrocolloidal polysaccharide composed of galactan and mannan units combined through glycosidic linkages, which may be described chemically as galactomannan.
Dissolved in cold or hot water, guar gum forms a slime of high viscosity. Guar's viscosity is a function of temperature, time, and concentration.
