Water
Absorbent Polymer
Water absorbent polymers are primarily used as an absorbent for
water and aqueous solutions for diapers, adult incontinence
products, feminine hygiene products, and similar applications. WAP
is ideally used for better absorbency and smooth gel formation for
quality products.
IT EVEN ABSORBS LIQUID LIKE BLOOD, VOMIT, MILK AND OTHER
VISCOUS LIQUIDS.
Also used by the name of Sodium Polyacrylate or Sodium
Polyacrylic acid.
Water Absorbent Polymers are prepared from acrylic acid and a
cross-linker by solution or suspension polymerization. The type and
quantity of cross-linker control both the swelling capacity and gel
modulus.
Water Absorbent Polymer is a new type macro molecular
synthetic material that can absorb water of hundreds times of its
weight in a short time. It is one kind of functionality
macromolecule polymer which is non-toxic, non-irritating and
non-corrosive. It can not conflagrate and blast.
Water Absorbent Polymers, otherwise known as SAP, absorbent
polymers, absorbent gels, super soakers, super slurpers, gel
crystals, are materials that swell in water to form a clear gel made
up of separate, individual particles. Unlike a sponge, in which
water can be wrung out easily, the hydrated gel particles retain the
absorbed water even under pressure. This unique ability to hold
absorbed water, even against pressure, is the primary benefit of
using super absorbent polymers.
