Sodium Polyacrylate Applications / Functions

Sodium polyacrylate is a versatile material known for its excellent water-absorbing capacity. It is safe, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly.

Key Features and Applications:

1. Absorption Capacity:
   • Sodium polyacrylate can absorb large amounts of water or other liquids, making it ideal for use in hygiene products like paper diapers and sanitary napkins.
2. Water Gel Transformation:
   • After absorbing liquid, sodium polyacrylate transforms into a water gel that can be used to return moisture to plants, acting as a water-retaining gel for gardening applications.
3. Liquid Locking:
   • When in gel form, sodium polyacrylate can effectively lock in liquids, making it suitable for use as a water-blocking material in anti-flood bags, waterproof tapes for cables, and other applications requiring liquid containment.

Main Applications:

Hygiene Products (Absorption Material):

• Sodium polyacrylate is extensively used in hygiene products such as paper diapers, sanitary towels, and pet pads due to its excellent absorption properties.

Sodium polyacrylate Paper Diapers:

• Sodium polyacrylate used in diapers exhibits good permeability, strong absorptive capacity, and long-term moisture retention, ensuring dryness and comfort.

Sodium polyacrylate Lady Sanitary Napkins:

• The fast blood absorption, high capacity, and moisture resistance of sodium polyacrylate in sanitary napkins provide dryness and comfort to users.

Sodium polyacrylate Other Applications:

Sodium polyacrylate Cables:

• It is used in waterproof tapes and ointments for optical fiber cables, offering quick absorbency, good reaction time, and effective liquid containment.

Sodium polyacrylate Ice Packs:

• Sodium polyacrylate is used in ice packs, absorbing water rapidly to form cushion-shaped ice cubes for cooling purposes.

Sodium polyacrylate Anti-flood Bags:

• In anti-flood bags, sodium polyacrylate absorbs water quickly, inflating the bag within minutes. It is lightweight, easy to store, and transport compared to traditional sandbags.

Sodium polyacrylate Concrete:

• Sodium polyacrylate can enhance permeability in concrete, improve structural integrity, act as an internal sealant, and even serve as a controlled release agent.
