8 RHODIA SECTOR HiChem Solvay enjoys a 50-year joint venture partnership with an Indian-based leader in guar gum and guar extracts, helping secure its raw material supply. Derivatized guar is a polymer produced from a bean grown mainly in India. Its inherent natural properties make it an ideal bio-based solution for applications in the oil and gas industry as a gelling agent, in hair care as a conditioner, and in agrochemicals as an anti-drift formulation. Solvay's technology makes it possible to use the guar gum, after processing in the Group's site in Vernon, Texas, for numerous purposes, including conditioners for shower gels and shampoos and additives for the extraction of gas and oil. India is the no. 1 producer of guar gum in the world. Since 2008, Solvay has worked with Hichem to develop cationic guar gum (conditioners for shampoos) locally in India.
