Grade Details
Select your grade
Paper and packaging, textile sizing, absorbent products
Psyllium fibre for paper, textile sizing, and absorbent applications. 40–55% crude fibre at 40–60 mesh, moisture ≤12%. Heavy metals to buyer specification. Consistent sieve profile and stable moisture are the primary supply requirements for most industrial buying programs.
- Crude Fibre 40–55
- Moisture 12
- Total Ash 10
By application
Pet food fibre source and binder, animal nutrition manufacturing
Food-safe heavy metal limits (Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium within food-grade thresholds). 35–45% crude fibre at 40–80 mesh. Used as a natural fibre source and binder in pet food manufacturing where animal safety documentation is required alongside the standard COA.
- Crude Fibre 35–45
- Moisture 10
- Total Ash 6
By application
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is industrial grade psyllium used for?
Paper and packaging (as a binder), textile sizing (water retention in sizing solutions), absorbent products, and agricultural soil amendments. Industrial grade is priced lower than food-grade husk and is not for human consumption.
What mesh size is standard industrial psyllium?
40–60 mesh ASTM. Crude fibre 40–55%. Heavy metals to buyer specification — confirm limits when requesting a quote.
What packaging is available for industrial grade psyllium?
25 kg, 50 kg, and 1,000 kg jumbo bags. FOB Mundra. Basic COA (moisture, crude fibre, ash) per shipment.
What is premium industrial psyllium used for?
Cosmetics and personal care (face masks, natural thickeners, gel formulations), fine-particle absorbents, and specialty industrial applications where 60–100 mesh particle uniformity matters.
What mesh is premium industrial psyllium?
60–100 mesh. Crude fibre 50–60%. Total ash ≤8%. Heavy metals to buyer specification.
What documentation comes with premium industrial grade?
COA with crude fibre, moisture, ash, mesh, and heavy metals (to buyer spec). Packing list and certificate of origin per shipment.
What makes pet food grade psyllium different from industrial grade?
Pet food grade is produced with food-safe heavy metal limits (Lead ≤2 ppm, Arsenic ≤1 ppm, Cadmium ≤0.5 ppm) and requires full microbiology (E. coli and Salmonella absent). Industrial grade uses buyer-specified heavy metal limits which may be higher.
What documentation comes with pet food grade psyllium?
COA with crude fibre, moisture, ash, heavy metals (food-safe limits), and microbiology. Packing list and certificate of origin per shipment.
What is the crude fibre content of pet food grade psyllium?
35–45% crude fibre at 40–80 mesh. Moisture ≤10%. Total ash ≤6%.
