General Description

2-Propenoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, monosodium salt, homopolymer, also known as sodium polyacrylate, is a polymer that is derived from the monomer acrylic acid. It is a white, odorless, and tasteless substance that is commonly used in various industries due to its water-absorbing properties. It is often found in personal care products, such as diapers and feminine hygiene products, as well as in industrial applications like as a thickening agent or gelling agent in various products. Sodium polyacrylate is known for its ability to absorb and retain large amounts of water, making it useful in products that require moisture control or absorption. It is generally considered to be non-toxic, but it is important to handle and dispose of it properly to prevent environmental contamination.
