Sodium Polyacrylate

Sodium polyacrylate is a superabsorbent polymer commonly used in products like diapers and absorbent pads. It can absorb and retain large amounts of liquid relative to its own weight—up to 300 times! This property makes it effective at locking in moisture. When it comes into contact with fluids, it swells and forms a gel-like substance, preventing leaks. Beyond personal care products, sodium polyacrylate is also used in agriculture to retain soil moisture and in various industrial applications, showcasing its versatility and importance in managing liquids effectively.
