CAS Number: 9003-04-07
INCI: Super Absorbent Polymer
Composition: Super Absorbent Polymers are typically crosslinked polymers with hydrophilic functional groups, such as carboxylate, amide, or hydroxyl groups. These functional groups enable the polymer chains to absorb and retain water through mechanisms such as osmosis and capillary action.
Purity Grade: No purity grade applicable
Appearance: Super Absorbent Polymers are available in various forms, including powders, granules, and beads, depending on the intended application. They are often white or translucent in color.
Solubility: Super Absorbent Polymers are insoluble in water and most organic solvents. Instead of dissolving, they swell and form hydrogels when exposed to aqueous solutions, allowing them to absorb and retain water.
Preservation: Super Absorbent Polymers do not require specific preservation measures. However, they should be stored in a dry environment to prevent premature swelling and clumping. Proper storage conditions help maintain their effectiveness and performance.
Storage: Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature
Country of Origin: India
Raw Material Source : The raw materials for Super Absorbent Polymers include acrylic acid or acrylamide monomers, which are derived from petrochemical sources. These monomers undergo polymerization and crosslinking reactions to form the final SAP product.
Manufacture: Super Absorbent Polymers are manufactured through polymerization processes, typically using bulk or solution polymerization methods. During polymerization, acrylic acid or acrylamide monomers are polymerized and crosslinked to form three-dimensional networks with high water-absorbing capacity. The resulting polymer is then processed into the desired form, such as powders or granules, through drying and milling processes.
Animal Testing: Not animal tested
GMO: GMO-free (does not contain plant-derived components)
Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components
Proposition: SUPER ABSORBENT POLYMER complies with relevant regulations and guidelines
Warning: Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Use appropriate protective equipment when
handling. Keep out of reach of children.
General Description:
Super Absorbent Polymers (SAPs) are cross-linked polymers capable of absorbing and retaining large amounts of water or aqueous solutions. They are often synthesized from acrylic acid and its derivatives, cross-linked with a suitable agent to enhance their absorbency.
- Uses in Hygiene Products:
Super Absorbent Polymers are primarily used in hygiene products such as: - Diapers: SAPs are used in the absorbent core of diapers to efficiently absorb urine and retain moisture, keeping the baby's skin dry and comfortable.
- Sanitary Pads: In feminine hygiene products, SAPs enhance absorbency, reducing leakage and improving overall performance.
- Adult Incontinence Products: They are used in adult diapers and incontinence pads for similar reasons as in baby diapers.
otential Hazard Considerations:
While super absorbent polymers are generally safe for their intended use in hygiene products, considerations may include:
- Skin Irritation: If used in direct contact with the skin in cosmetic formulations, high concentrations of SAPs might potentially cause skin irritation, especially in individuals with sensitive skin.
- Environmental Impact: SAPs are not typically biodegradable and may pose environmental concerns if disposed of improperly or if they enter water bodies.
- Regulatory Compliance: Manufacturers must ensure that SAPs used in hygiene and cosmetic products comply with regulatory standards for safety and efficacy set by relevant authorities.
