Guar Gum Fracturing Fluid Base
CAS Number: 9000-30-0
Oilfield-grade guar gum is the primary viscosifier and proppant carrier used in hydraulic fracturing fluids. Hydrated at 20–40 lb/Mgal, it builds sufficient viscosity (50–500 cP) to transport proppant deep into created fractures while maintaining good fluid leakoff control. High-purity fast-hydrating grades (≥85% through 200 mesh) are formulated for compatibility with borate and zirconate crosslinkers in modern frac fluid systems.
