Sodium Polyacrylate
Other names: Sodium polyacrylate
Harm score: 3 (Harmless chemicals)
Sodium polyacrylate, also known as sodium polyacrylate, is a type of polymer characterized by its strong water binding capacity. This chemical element is widely used in the world of chemistry due to its unique properties. It is a superabsorbent capable of absorbing and holding up to 300 times its own weight in water. This ability predestines it for use in certain areas of industry and the manufacture of everyday products.
The use of sodium polyacrylate is primarily in the field of hygiene products, especially in baby diapers, where this material provides absorption and retention of liquids. It is also used in sanitary napkins or incontinence devices. Other uses for the polymer are in agriculture, where it serves as a water reservoir for plants or as a soil conditioner. It is also used in the construction industry, where it is added to concrete or mortar for better water retention. Recent applications include its use in cosmetics, for example in moisturizing creams, masks or lotions, where it helps to maintain moisture and hydration in the skin.
