Guar Gum – Natural Thickener for Dye & Print Paste

Guar Gum is a natural, plant-derived thickener used to control dye flow and consistency in textile printing and hand-painting. Extracted from guar beans, it produces a smooth, stable paste ideal for use with acid, disperse, and natural dyes.

Kraftkolour’s Guar Gum powder disperses easily in warm water, forming a uniform gel that holds dyes in place for sharp, detailed application. It’s an essential tool for artists, designers, and studios that need precision and consistency in their print and painting techniques.

Benefits

Perfect For:

  • Silk or cotton hand-painting

  • Compatible with acid, disperse, and natural dyes
  • Provides smooth, stable viscosity control
  • Use 40–60 g per litre of warm water to prepare print paste
  • Mix slowly to avoid clumping; allow to thicken before use

Prepare paste ahead of use for optimal hydration. Adjust thickness by adding small amounts of water or gum. Store sealed and dry — moisture may cause premature gelling.
