Superabsorbent Polymer

About Superabsorbent Polymer

Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) is a material capable of absorbing several hundred to 1,000 times its own weight in water. Even when subject to pressure, this polymer securely retains the absorbed liquids. In 1978, we were the first in the world to begin commercial production of SAP. Today, SAP is used in a wide range of applications, from hygiene materials used mainly in disposable diapers and sanitary products to non-hygienic applications such as agriculture & horticulture, pet, construction and civil engineering, etc.

Mechanism of absorption

SAP are crosslinked networks of flexible polymer chains. The polymer chains are shrunk before absorbing water. When water comes into contact polymer chains, these chains are expanded. Water is trapped tightly within networks.

Application

Gelling Agent (alkaline batteries)
Wastewater Treatment & Sludge Solidification (mining, drilling, sewage treatment, and dredging waste)
Oil & Gas Exploration and Drilling Waste
Wire & Cable Water Blocking
Medical Waste Solidification
Unused Latex Paint (liquid latex paint can be solidified for ease of disposal)
Hygiene (baby diapers and other applications requiring absorbance of bodily fluids)
Agricultural (water retention aid)
