Dispersible in water; swells upon water absorption to form gel
Appearance
Unique water-absorbent polymer that delivers mousse texture
Sodium polyacrylate starch graft copolymer is a water-based thickener with a distinctive structure. It exists as swollen micro-particles in water and remains stable even under semi-dry conditions, offering a unique powdery mousse texture that feels smooth and non-sticky.
Unique sensory experience: non-tacky, easy to spread
It effectively overcomes the drawbacks of polysaccharides and conventional polyacrylic acid thickeners.
Applications
Sodium polyacrylate starch graft copolymer is an eco-friendly polymer that perfectly combines the biodegradability of natural starch and the super water absorption capacity of polyacrylic acid.
In personal care and medical industries, it serves as the core water-absorbing component for disposable diapers, sustained-release drug carriers and wound dressings. In agriculture, it acts as an efficient soil water retention agent to greatly improve water conservation. For industrial environmental protection, it works as a natural flocculant for wastewater treatment and a water-retaining additive in construction. Thanks to its outstanding water-locking and moisturizing properties, it is also a key ingredient in facial masks and creams for cosmetic formulations. This multi-functional material delivers remarkable social and economic benefits.
