Psyllium Husk (60%)

Psyllium Husk (60%) is a very low-grade industrial fiber derived from the husk and seed coatings of Plantago ovata. With a fiber purity of around 60%, this grade contains a high proportion of non-mucilaginous plant material, seed dust, and stem fragments. It is not suitable for food, pharmaceutical, or dietary supplement applications but serves specific functions in agriculture, animal feed, and organic industrial use.

Despite its lower mucilage content, Psyllium Husk (60%) still retains basic swelling and binding characteristics, making it useful in high-volume, low-cost applications. In animal nutrition, it is used to improve stool formation and digestive health in livestock and pets. In agriculture, it plays a role as a moisture-retaining additive in soil enhancers, seed coatings, and composting systems. It is also used as a filler or binding agent in pellet-based formulations for herbal or veterinary products.

The appearance of Psyllium Husk (60%) is darker, coarser, and contains a higher volume of fibrous impurities. It may also exhibit variability in texture and bulk density. However, it remains functionally relevant for applications that do not require aesthetic consistency or fine particle size.

This grade is processed in industrial facilities with basic cleaning and separation techniques. It is not intended for human consumption but meets general industrial safety parameters. For industries operating in cost-sensitive markets or using Psyllium as a bulk raw material rather than an active functional ingredient, the 60% grade offers a reliable and affordable option.
