Applications

 

  1. FOOD INDUSTRY
  • As the most preferred thickening & binding ingredient, it is used in diverse range of products:-
  • In BAKERY, it improves dough elasticity, crumb condition and enhances browning
  • For NOODLES, it imparts neutral taste and prevents noodles from adhering with each-other
  • For ICE-CREAMS, it controls ice-crystal formation and meltdown behavior
  • In MEAT & FISH PRODUCTS, it retains natural texture of the processed products and makes them fiber enriched.
  • With no calorific value, it is used in diet syrups, jams and slimming foods.
  • KOSHER PRODUCTS- The Kosher & Kosher, for year round use, Guar Gum powder produced at Vikas , it checked and certified by the Indian Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue as a “Genuine Kosher Products”.
Applications
  1. COSEMETICS INDUSTRY
  • Cationic Guar (derivative of guar) used as thickening or squeezing agent in shampoo, soap, toothpaste, hairspray, lipsticks and all other cosmetics.
  1. EXPLOSIVE INDUSTRY
  • It gels blasting agents and explosive slurries
  • Acts as a water blocking agent in dry cartridge explosives.
  1. FEED
  • For ANIMAL & POULTRY FEED, micronized guar meal is used as it has high protein which makes it complete nutritional feed. It also has good palatability with excellent digestibility.
  • Used as binder in FISH FEED as it prevents fish pellets from disintegrating quickly in water and thus reduces its consumption.
  1. MINING AND MINERAL INDUSTRY
  • Used as flocculent to produce liquid – solid separation. It gets absorbed on the hydrophilic surface of mineral particles and develops small aggregates which settle more rapidly than individual flocculants.
  • Act as a depressant for insoluble gangue mined along with the valuable minerals.
  1. OIL FIELD APPLICATON
  • Used as additive in petroleum industry for aqueous fluids to drill shallow wells as it increases viscosity, reduces fluid loss and decreases fluid friction.
  • It is an excellent shale inhibitor and gives flow properties to fracturing fluids by controlling its rheology even under severe conditions.
  1. PAPER INDUSTRY
  • Used as a wet end additive at pulp stage in paper and board manufacturing to increase tensile strength, Mullen bursting strength and fold strength.
  • Improves sheet formation and decreases porosity.
  1. PHARMACEUTICAL
  • As the release modifying agent in tablets
  • As a binder and disintregator, it is used in tablet manufacturing process to enhance cohesiveness in drug powder for forming tablets.
  • Act as anti-microbial appetite suppressant, anti proliferative, laxative and hydolipidemic agent used in theraupeutical formulation.
  • Exerts anti diabetic activity.
  1. TEXTILE INDUSTRY
  • It thickens dye liquors & act as rheology modifiers
  • Gives best dye mobility control specially in carpet dying
  • Gives excellent film forming properties for textile sizing , finishing and printing
  • Reduces wrap breakage and dusting, thus giving better efficiency in production.
  • Better wash out properties
  1. TOBACCO INDUSTRY
  • As a good thickener and binder, it also has good casting properties to give excellent tensile strength for the production of tobacco sheet.
  1. WILDFIRE CONTROL
  • Used as a thickening agent to prevent misting of the fire retardant in aerial drop applications.
