Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is a critical material used for water-blocking purposes in cables, offering rapid absorption capabilities in case of cable outer layer damage.

Advantages of Superabsorbent Polymer for Water-Blocking Yarn/Tape:

  • High Absorption Speed: SAP quickly absorbs permeated water, preventing potential damage to cable components.
  • Neutral Properties: When mixed with ointment, SAP maintains a neutral composition, safeguarding metal components within the cable.
