Description
Basic Product Information
| Botanical Name | Cyamopsis tetragonoloba |
| Family Name | Leguminosae (Fabaceae) |
| Also Known As | Quick/Rapid Hydration Guar Gum, Diesel Slurry Guar Gum, Fracturing Gel Powder |
Fast Hydration Guar Gum (FHG) is a specially engineered, high-purity galactomannan delivering ultra-rapid viscosity build-up in just 3–10 minutes — versus 2+ hours for standard guar gum. Hydrates instantly in freshwater and brine without heat activation. The preferred gelling agent for global oilfield service companies for hydraulic fracturing and well-drilling — sourced at competitive bulk pricing directly from India.
