Superabsorbent Polymers Market
Sodium Polyacrylate is mainly used in the market due to its high absorption capacity i.e.
ability to absorb as much as 200 to 300 times its mass in water and used in several
applications such as agriculture, medical, oil and gas and other industrial applications.
However, in recent times, the demand for potassium copolymers has increased compared
with the past, as they are the highly effective when used in large scale farming and
agricultural applications, especially at the time of sprouting and development of the root
network due to good aeration of the soil.
