Super Absorbent Polymers (SAPs) For manufacturing gel packs

Super Absorbent Polymers (SAPs) have various applications:

• Wire and cable water blocking.
• Medical and surgical pads.
• Industrial disposal of aqueous waste.
• Agricultural and horticultural uses like seed coating or soil enhancement.
• Creating artificial snow for movies and theaters.
• Modifying cement for civil engineering projects.
• Flood sacks.
• Ice packs.

For manufacturing gel packs, SAPs offer a cost-efficient solution. GelSAP provides bulk SAP powder in 50lb cases or supersacks. This powder can be combined with water to create gel packs for maintaining hot or cold temperatures. Features include:

• Large volume cases and sacks for low-cost manufacturing.
• High water absorption and retention capacity for optimal thermal performance.
• Non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
• Easy to mix with water, requiring little agitation.
• Maintains water-retention properties even under moderate levels of vibration and pressure.

Super Absorbent Polymers FAQs:

• How do SAPs help maintain temperature ranges in gel packs? SAPs retain up to 1,000 times their mass in water, aiding in maintaining cold temperatures.
• Can SAPs absorb other liquids? No, SAPs specifically absorb water through hydrogen bonding.
• Can SAP gel packs be recycled? While the gel pack contents cannot be recycled, they are non-toxic and can be disposed of down the drain. The outer shell of gel packs can be recycled.
• How much SAP is needed to make a gel pack? One gram of SAP can absorb enough water for one gel pack. GelSAP offers 50lb cases or supersacks for large-scale manufacturing.
• Are SAP gel packs safe? SAPs are inert and have low reactivity. They are safe for direct skin contact and have FDA approval for indirect food contact, but should not be consumed.
