Guar Gum Cationic Powder

Cationic Guar Gum is a conditioning agent. It provides substantiality, favourable effect on wet and dry compatibility and compatibility with anionic surfactants. It is used in shampoos and hair after-treatment preparations and is an effective non-gelling thickener and viscosity enhancer.

It can boost foam when combined with surfactants

Cationic Guar Gum is used in hair and skin care formulations to provide a high level of conditioning, with high viscosity build. Ideal applications include deep conditioning, ethnic hair products, highly damaged/ bleached/treated hair, anti-dandruff shampoos, high active deposition, silicone deposition, soaps, and shaving.

Use Rate: 1.0 - 1.5% as a viscosity modifier; 0.15-0.25% for conditioning 

pH:  9.5 - 11.0
Nitrogen:  1.8%

Appearance: Beige to tan granular powder
Solubility: Soluble in water

Add the powder to the vortex of well-agitated warm water and mix until dispersed. Adjust to pH 7.0 or less to remove the boron treatment and promote hydration of the polymer (citric acid,  concentrated lemon juice  or lactic acid can be used to adjust the pH as needed). Continue mixing for 15 minutes for full viscosity development.

CAS: 65497-29-2

 INCI: Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride

Use: Dissolve in water and stir thoroughly. Guar gum has a high pH >9 in order to thicken the solution that contains the guar gum the pH has to be <7. Add a tiny amount of citric acid or concentrated lemon juice to reach a lower pH and the solution is thickening.
