Hydroxypropyl Guar
Hydroxypropyl guar is a propylene glycol ether of C tetragonoloba (guar) gum. It develops a high thickening effect, compatible with alcohol solutions containing up to 30% of ethanol. Good compatibility with electrolytes. Good stability over a large pH range.
Hydroxypropyl guar is a propylene glycol ether of C tetragonoloba (guar) gum. It is a polysaccharide comprised of a polymannose backbone with mono-galactose pendent groups (where the mannose: galactose ratio is 2:1), derivatized via ether linkages with propylene glycol, at some of the free hydroxyl groups of the polysaccharide backbone. It develops a high thickening effect and is compatible with alcohol solutions containing up to 30% ethanol. Good compatibility with electrolytes. Good stability over a large pH range.
