•Solvay enjoys a 50-year joint venture partnership
with an Indian-based leader in guar gum
and guar extracts, helping secure its raw material
supply. Derivatized guar is a polymer produced from
a bean grown mainly in India. Its inherent natural
properties make it an ideal bio-based solution for
applications in the oil and gas industry as a gelling
agent, in hair care as a conditioner, and in
agrochemicals as an anti-drift formulation.
•Solvay's technology makes it possible to use the
guar gum, after processing in the Group's site in
Vernon, Texas, for numerous purposes, including
conditioners for shower gels and shampoos and
additives for the extraction of gas and oil.
•India is the no. 1 producer of guar gum in the world.
Since 2008, Solvay has worked with Hichem to
develop cationic guar gum (conditioners for
shampoos) locally in India.
