Quick Answer
Who exports industrial Guar Gum from India?
B.D. Guar Pvt. Ltd. is a leading industrial Guar Gum exporter from Kalol, Gujarat, India, operating since 1983. HICOL® industrial-grade Guar Gum powder supplies textile printing, paper manufacturing, oil drilling & fracturing, mining flotation, and explosives industries globally. 12,000 MT/yr capacity. ISO 9001:2015 certified. FCL export via Mundra and Nhava Sheva ports to 50+ countries.
What is industrial-grade Guar Gum and how is it different from food grade?
Industrial Guar Gum (HICOL Industrial) has viscosity 2,500–4,500 cps at 1%, coarser mesh (100 mesh), higher permitted moisture (≤14%) and does not require food-safety certifications. It is specifically designed for non-food applications where the priority is viscosity economics, rheology performance, and process compatibility — not purity for human consumption.
| Property | Industrial Grade | Food Grade (E412) |
|---|---|---|
| Viscosity (1%, cps) | 2,500–4,500 | 3,500–5,500 |
| Mesh | 100 | 200 |
| Moisture | ≤14% | ≤12% |
| Certifications | ISO 9001:2015 | ISO 22000, FSSAI, Halal, Kosher |
| Price (FOB) | Lower | Higher |
| Application | Textile, paper, mining, oilfield | Food, pharma, cosmetics |
What industrial applications use Guar Gum?
Textile printing
Guar Gum is the standard thickening agent for reactive dye printing pastes in cotton, viscose, and blended fabrics. Provides sharp print definition, good colour yield, and easy washability.
Learn more →Paper manufacturing
Added at wet-end or as surface sizing agent, Guar Gum improves paper strength (tensile, burst, fold), surface smoothness, and printability. Used in kraft and fine paper mills.
Learn more →Oil drilling & hydraulic fracturing
Fast-hydrating Guar Gum forms high-viscosity gels used as fracturing fluid base in shale gas and tight oil. Also used as drilling mud additive for fluid loss control and cuttings suspension.
Learn more →Mining flotation
Guar Gum acts as a depressant and flocculant in mineral processing, improving talc/sulphide separation, reducing reagent consumption.
Learn more →Explosives (ANFO)
Guar Gum is a binder in water-gel and slurry explosives, improving pumpability and detonation consistency.
Learn more →Construction & soil stabilization
Used as a drilling mud additive in foundation work and tunneling.
Learn more →Why source industrial Guar Gum from India?
India produces more than 80% of the world's guar. Gujarat is the processing hub. Mundra and Nhava Sheva ports provide weekly FCL sailings to USA, Europe, UAE, and Asia. B D Guar's direct mill pricing removes the 5–12% trading margin typical of intermediary-sourced material.
Buyers work directly with our production and QC teams, receive lot traceability from split to finished powder, and can request custom viscosity or mesh specifications without a distributor markup.

Frequently asked questions
Do you export Guar Gum for industrial use from India?
Yes. B.D. Guar Pvt. Ltd. is a direct manufacturer-exporter of industrial Guar Gum from Kalol, Gujarat, India. We export HICOL Industrial and HICOL Fast Hydrating grades to textile mills, paper manufacturers, oilfield service companies, and mining operations across 50+ countries via Mundra and Nhava Sheva ports.
What is the minimum order for industrial Guar Gum export?
Minimum order for export is 1 MT (metric tonne), packed in 25 kg HDPE bags or 1 MT FIBC jumbo bags. For LCL (less-than-container) shipments, 1 MT is the MOQ. FCL orders (20' = ~20 MT, 40' = ~26 MT) qualify for better pricing. Contact us to confirm pricing for your industrial application and destination.
What viscosity range does industrial Guar Gum have?
HICOL Industrial grade delivers 2,500–4,500 cps at 1% solution (25°C). HICOL Fast Hydrating (oilfield / fracturing) delivers 4,000–5,000 cps within 3 minutes of hydration — critical for downhole fluid loss control. Custom viscosity specifications are available from 2,500 cps to 5,500 cps.
Which industries use Indian Guar Gum exports?
Industrial Guar Gum from India is exported to: (1) Textile industry — reactive dye printing paste thickener; (2) Paper industry — wet-end additive and surface sizing agent; (3) Oil & gas — fracturing fluid base and drilling mud additive; (4) Mining — flotation depressant and flocculant; (5) Explosives — ANFO and slurry explosive binder; (6) Construction — tunneling and foundation boring fluids.
How long is the lead time for industrial Guar Gum export from India?
Standard production lead time is 2–3 weeks from confirmed PO. Shipping time ex-Mundra: Jebel Ali 5–7 days, Rotterdam/Hamburg 18–25 days, Houston 30–38 days, Santos 40–50 days. Ready stock of common industrial grades is maintained for faster dispatch.
