Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) for Agriculture
Advanced Polymers supplies agricultural hydrogels, also known as superabsorbent polymers (SAP), absorbent gels, super soakers, super slurpers, and water gels, a new type of macromolecular, synthetic, water-absorbing polymer material. Therefore, it can absorb up to 100,000% of its weight in water within a short time by osmosis and forms granules in soil to improve soil properties.
Furthermore, Super Absorbent Polymers (SAPs) are generally white, sugar-like hygroscopic materials that swell in water to form a clear gel made of separate individual particles and can retain moisture even under pressure without risk of conflagration or rupturing/blasting.
