GUAR GUM
fast hydration Guar Gum Powder (fhg)
Fast Hydration Guar Gum Powder (also known as FHG or Diesel Slurry Guar) is a specially treated industrial-grade guar gum developed to achieve quick viscosity development in aqueous solutions, especially under alkaline conditions (pH 8–11). Unlike regular guar gum, FHG hydrates within minutes, making it ideal for time-sensitive processes like oil well drilling, hydraulic fracturing (fracking), and mining operations.
