PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
EM-Tack™ is a raw psyllium husk powder (PHP) derived from the epidermis and adjacent layers removed from the dried ripe seed of Plantago Ovata. EM-Tack™ is an industrial-grade by-product of the manufacture of laxative grade psyllium husk. PHP contains a number of natural polymers that provide an adhesive or mucilage characteristic. Those components include the polysaccharides xylose, arbinose and galacturonic acid. Other polysaccharides reported include rhamose and galactose. EM-Tack™ is an industrial-grade product used primarily as a tackifier in hydromulching applications.
