Oil & Gas Focus: FHGG for Gulf Fields
Fast Hydrating Guar Gum is our highest-volume export to the region, supplied to service companies working UAE, Saudi, Omani and Qatari fields. Hydration speed and residue control are the two properties that decide pumping schedules and proppant pack conductivity, and both are specified on every COA.

| Viscosity (1% solution, Fann 35SA) | 26–32 cP at 511 s⁻¹, specification set per contract |
| Insoluble residue | Low residue for improved fracture conductivity |
| Salt tolerance | Stable in high-salinity make-up water typical of Gulf operations |
| Packaging | 25 kg bags, 750 kg and 1 MT jumbo bags for field logistics |
| Supply model | Scheduled multi-container programmes with annual contract pricing |
Food Industry Supply
Food grade E412 is supplied to dairy, bakery, sauce and beverage manufacturers across the Gulf. Typical use levels are 0.1–0.5% in dairy and sauces and 0.2–1.0% in bakery and gluten-free systems, delivering viscosity, freeze-thaw stability and syneresis control without altering flavour.
Every food-grade lot is tested against Gulf Standard Organization (GSO) additive and microbiological requirements, and is supplied Halal and Kosher certified, ETO-free and Salmonella-negative with a full Certificate of Analysis.

Frequently asked questions
Is your Guar Gum Halal certified for Middle East markets?
Yes. Our Guar Gum is MUI Halal certified and produced on a dedicated Halal processing line with no cross-contamination risk. Halal certificates are issued per consignment and are accepted by importers and regulators across the GCC.
How long does delivery take to Dubai, Jeddah and Muscat?
Ocean transit is typically 10–15 days from Mundra Port, Gujarat to Jebel Ali (Dubai), Jeddah, Muscat and Dammam, with direct sailings on most weeks. Production lead time is 2–4 weeks from purchase order, and urgent air-freight consignments can be arranged for oilfield emergencies.
Which Guar Gum grade is used in Gulf oilfield operations?
Fast Hydrating Guar Gum (FHGG) is the standard grade for fracturing and drilling fluids in UAE, Saudi and Omani fields. It reaches full viscosity in under two minutes, leaves low insoluble residue for better proppant pack conductivity, and is tolerant of the high-salinity make-up water common in Gulf operations.
Do you supply Arabic-language documentation?
Yes. Arabic-language Certificates of Analysis and Halal certificates are available on request, alongside the standard English document pack of COA, MSDS, Certificate of Origin, Bill of Lading and phytosanitary certificate.
Does your food grade meet GSO requirements?
Our food grade E412 is manufactured to specifications that meet Gulf Standard Organization (GSO) food additive and microbiological requirements, including GSO-aligned limits for heavy metals, Salmonella and total plate count. Every lot is tested before dispatch.
Which Middle East countries do you supply?
We ship regularly to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan and Iraq, serving food manufacturers, oilfield service companies, personal care formulators and industrial converters.
What is the minimum order quantity for GCC buyers?
Standard MOQ is one 20-foot container (approximately 16 MT) FOB Mundra. Given the short transit, LCL consolidations from 1 MT are practical for Gulf buyers, and 1–5 kg qualification samples reach Dubai and Riyadh in 3–5 working days by courier.
What pricing can Middle East buyers expect?
Indicative FOB India pricing is USD 3–8/kg for food grade, USD 2–5/kg for industrial and oilfield grades and USD 5–12/kg for pharmaceutical grade. CIF Jebel Ali or Jeddah quotations are issued within 24 hours, and annual contract pricing is available for oilfield service companies.
Can you support large, scheduled oilfield supply programmes?
Yes. Our Kalol, Gujarat plant runs a 12,000 MT annual capacity with direct procurement from over 5,000 contracted farmers, which supports scheduled multi-container programmes with locked specifications, buffer stock planning and consistent lot-to-lot viscosity for field operations.
