Sodium Polyacrylate – Super Absorbent and Industrial Polymer

🧪 CAS Number: 9003-04-7

🌟 Product Description

Sodium polyacrylate is a polymer with a high water absorption capacity, available as a white powder or granules. When in contact with water, it swells rapidly and can absorb several hundred times its own weight. This property makes it an essential polymer in hygiene products, agriculture, and various industrial applications.

🏭 Applications

🍼 Super absorbent in diapers and hygiene products

🌱 Water-retaining polymer in agriculture

🧴 Thickener in cosmetics and personal care products

💧 Absorbent in leakage and spill control materials

🏗 Waterproofing material in construction industry
