Superabsorbent Polymer | Water Retaining Agent | Artificial Snow Powder


Sodium polyacrylate based super absorbent polymer manufactured by Mayuri, manifests water absorbing capacity up to 800 times of its own weight. The absorbing ability of Sodium Polyacrylate is because of the presence of anionic charged chains that helps in combining water molecules, that ‘Water Locks’ or gels. These gel retains the moisture for a considerable period of time.

Sodium Polyacrylate | Particle Size Distribution

MC DEF forms an important component of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology and is stable under normal physical conditions. Consumption rates of MC DEF vary but are usually around 2 – 4% of diesel fuel consumed. Off road equipment consumption rates are 5 – 10%

Application Areas

This super absorbent polymer finds extensive application as a thickening agent during detergent and soap manufacturing processes, firstly by enhancing the viscosity of water based systems, and secondly by increasing its stability. Moreover, it is used as a sequestering / chelating agent, that binds metal ions present in hard water with dirt and other contaminants in the laundry, ensuring that the detergent works effectively in cleaning and neutralizing foul odor.

Owing to its extremely high absorption capability and rate, Sodium Polyacrylate finds wide range of applications in manufacturing and processing of Fire-Retardant Gel, Candles, Protective Garments, Sanitary Napkins, Diapers, Insecticides, Pesticides, Herbicides, Composites, Laminates, Hot and Cold Therapy Packs and other related applications.

Another important application of this water absorbing polymer is to protect electrical and optical cables from moisture. Applied to the conductor, it inhibits water from penetrating into communication and power cables, ensuring optimum flow of signal during adverse rain or flood conditions.
