Explosive Industry

HILCO Branded Guar gum is a natural thickener, emulsifier and stabilizer that is used in the explosive industry for various purposes. Some of the applications of HILCO guar gum in this sector are:

- It acts as a gelling agent for gel sausage and slurry types of explosives. It helps in binding the explosive particles together and ensuring a controlled detonation. 
- It enhances the viscosity of drilling fluids, which are used to cool and lubricate the drill bit, carry away drill cuttings, and maintain pressure in the wellbore. It improves the carrying capacity and efficiency of drilling operations. 
- It serves as a dust suppression agent in mining activities. It forms a gel-like substance that can be sprayed onto dusty surfaces, preventing them from becoming airborne and reducing the respiratory hazards for workers.
