From solubility to emulsification, thickening to stabilising, film forming to binding, acacia gum’s multiple properties enable endless innovation.
With many properties and a staggering range of uses, acacia gum is an increasingly sought-after raw material.
This gum has been used in different industries for centuries and is still going strong! In technical industries such as textile, printing and painting, acacia is used as a sizing agent, thickener, protective colloid, stabiliser, binder and natural glue. It is often found in envelope adhesives, stamps and other paper products.
Acacia gum is still sometimes used in printing ink, where it serves as a base for light-sensitive chemicals, as well as paints and other industrial applications. It is also popular in niche markets like lithography, ceramics, photography and fireworks.
