Physical and Chemical Properties of Fibalance

Physical appearance

Transparent, colorless, and odorless
Good water solubility

High stability

Non-hygroscopic and difficult to agglomerate
Heat-resistant: stable at -18° C to 120 ° C without degradation
Resistant to acids and alkalis (pH3-pH8)

Low viscosity

The viscosity of 5% (w/v) Fibalance™ aqueous solution < 10 cps, which is 1000 times lower than 5% (w/v) guar gum solution.

PARTIALLY HYDROLYZED GUAR GUM

Molecular weight
and purity

Fibalance™ has approx. 20,000Da average molecular weight

More concentrated molecular weight distribution
