The ways to find better manufacture / high-quality SAP

It’s up to which users you need:
SAP is mainly divided into two classes: potassium polyacrylate and sodium polyacrylate. And here are the important points on main usages.

Potassium polyacrylate (used in planting)

• Absorbing capacity in soil;
• Granular size;
• The photolysis resistance;
• Period of validity.

Sodium polyacrylate

• Hygiene product (like a diaper, sanitary towel)
  1. Absorbent rate;
  2. Absorption under pressure and retention capacity after centrifugation;
  3. Liquid Permeability;
  4. Residual Monomer.

• Waterproof tape of cable
  1. Expansion height;
  2. Granular size.

• Ice bag
  1. Price;
  2. Granular size.

• Anti-flood bag
  1. Absorbent rate;
  2. The photolysis resistance.

• Leaking stoppage in drilling
