Description | Hydroxypropyl Guar HP-120 is a modified form of guar gum that is commonly used in the food and personal care industry as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier. Guar gum is a natural plant extract obtained from the seeds of the guar plant (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). Hydroxypropyl guar is created through a chemical modification process that involves adding propylene oxide to the guar gum. This modification increases the solubility and viscosity of the guar gum, making it more effective as a thickener and stabilizer. The HP-120 designation indicates a specific degree of modification and viscosity profile. |
