Textiles

Guar gum has many usable properties which supports in manufacturing products. It can be called as a catalyst in product making process. This significance let the presence of guar gum equivalent to the requirement of mandatory substances.

Textile is an inseparable part of our lifestyle. There is sudden increase has been seen in Textile production within short period of time. It is but natural that this industry too needs a supporting substance that can held with regular materials for better quality of product.Guar gum can play a part of very strong supportive matter to be used for textile formation. It can be combined with various processes of textiles so as to lower down the probability of spoiling. In processes like textile sizing, finishing and printing, Guar Gum provides them excellent film forming and thickening properties.A special feature of guar gum is that it reduces warp breakage, dusting while textile sizing and equip with a better efficiency in production.

Thickening agents(Thickener)

The printing thickeners used depend on the printing technique, the fabric and the particular dyestuff . Typical thickening agents are starch derivatives, flour, gum arabic, guar gum derivatives, tamarind, sodium alginate, sodium polyacrylate, British gum and albumen.

Hot-water-soluble thickening agents such as native starch are made into pastes by boiling in double or jacketed pans. Most thickening agents used today are cold-soluble and require only extensive stirring.
