Chemical Processing Applications: Feeding Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP)

From K-Tron Process Group
 

 
Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) consists of small gel-like beads that have all the water removed. When water is reintroduced, the crystals absorb the water and grow into a gel. SAP is an essential component in baby diapers, feminine hygiene products as well as incontinence products. Personal hygiene products which involve SAP are a steadily growing market. In the 1980's the worldwide annual production of SAP was about 400,000 metric tons. In 2000 the worldwide consumption reached 3 million metric tons. The huge increase is due largely to the use of SAP in the personal hygiene products industry.
