Super Absorbent Polymers (SAPs) are a type of plastic polymer that can absorb and retain large amounts of liquid relative to their own mass. They are used in a variety of applications, including diapers, feminine hygiene products, and agricultural products. SAPs are also used in the medical field, such as wound dressings and drug delivery systems. SAPs are typically made from acrylic acid and its derivatives, and are produced in a variety of forms, including granules, powders, and fibers. They are highly hygroscopic, meaning they can absorb and retain large amounts of liquid, and are also highly resistant to degradation. The SAP market is expected to grow in the coming years due to increasing demand for hygiene products and agricultural products. The market is also expected to benefit from the development of new technologies and materials, such as biodegradable SAPs. Some companies in the SAP market include BASF, Evonik Industries, Nippon Shokubai, LG Chem, and Sumitomo Seika. Show Less Read more
