Sodium Polyacrylate
Sodium Polyacrylate is a high-performance superabsorbent polymer (SAP) capable of absorbing and retaining water many times its own dry weight. It serves as a critical ingredient in hygiene products requiring rapid liquid retention and superior gel stability.
In industrial processing, this compound functions as an effective scale inhibitor and dispersant for complex water treatment systems. It prevents mineral precipitation in cooling towers and boilers, ensuring optimal thermal efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
We supply high-purity Technical Grade and Food Grade options suitable for diverse formulations, including detergents and fluid thickeners. It offers excellent pH stability and compatibility with various surfactants and chelating agents.
Sodium Polyacrylate
- Personal Hygiene: Used as the primary absorbent material in diapers, sanitary napkins, and adult incontinence products due to its high liquid retention capacity.
- Water Treatment: Acts as a sequestering agent and anti-scalant to prevent the formation of calcium carbonate and sulphate scales in industrial boilers.
- Detergents & Cleaners: Functions as an anti-redeposition agent, preventing dirt from settling back onto fabrics during the wash cycle in laundry formulations.
- Agriculture: Applied as a soil conditioner to improve water retention in arid climates, reducing the frequency of irrigation required for crops.
- Cable Blocking: Used in waterproof tapes and ointments for fiber optic cables to prevent water ingress and electrical damage.
Sodium Polyacrylate is generally low in toxicity but acts as a Respiratory Irritant if fine dust is inhaled. Operators should wear dust masks and safety goggles to prevent eye and lung irritation. Extreme caution is required during spills, as the material becomes dangerously slippery when wet.
