Hydraulic Fracturing Guar Gum from Germany
Guar gum for hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is a high-viscosity extract from guar seeds, essential for suspending proppants in oil and gas extraction. It qualifies under HTS 1302.32.0020 as a guar-derived thickener, unmodified and not a prepared chemical or medicament. Its natural gelling ability suits extreme downhole conditions.
