Guar Gum

Guar Gum – natural thickener for dye printing

Guar Gum is a plant-based thickener used in natural dyeing to create a smooth, controlled print paste. It is commonly used for fabric printing, stamping and other surface application techniques where a thicker dye consistency is needed.

It helps prevent dyes from bleeding into the fabric, allowing for sharper marks, cleaner edges and more precise application. Guar Gum mixes easily with water and works well with a wide range of natural dyes and pigments.

It is widely used in textile printing, screen printing and hand application techniques.
