About Superabsorbent Polymers Market
Superabsorbent polymers are cross-linked polyelectrolytes. They can absorb massive quantities of water and other aqueous solutions (equivalent to hundreds of times their weight) without dissolving. This feature is a primary criterion for products such as baby diapers and adult incontinence products, where a large volume of fluids needs to be absorbed using a low quantity of absorbent materials. The high absorption feature of SAPs has also resulted in their alternative uses, such as soil conditioners, in drought-prone or dry regions worldwide. The spend momentum of this market will be attributed to the growing demand from the medical industry where it is used to manufacture wound care products, due to their high efficacy in terms of absorbing large volumes of fluids.
