Guar Split

Guar split, also known as guar gum split, is a refined end-product derived from guar seeds. The guar split is obtained by mechanically separating the endosperm from the seed, and then further processing it to remove the husk and other impurities.

Guar split is used in various industrial applications as a thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying agent.

It is commonly used in the food industry as a food additive, where it is added to products such as baked goods, dairy products, and sauces to improve their texture, stability, and mouthfeel.

In the oil and gas industry, guar split is used as a gelling agent in hydraulic fracturing fluids, which are injected into the ground to fracture the rock and release natural gas or oil. It helps to carry sand and other proppants into the fractures, and also helps to maintain the fractures open by creating a viscous gel-like fluid.
