Global Sodium Polyacrylate Market: Overview

Sodium polyacrylate, more commonly known as waterlock is a polymer of polyacrylic acid. Sodium polyacrylate is a broadly utilized super-absorbent polymer. This compound can easily contain or absorb water and liquid mixtures which are hundred times more in mass than its own. The polymer has to be manufactured synthetically as it does not occur in nature. It is extensively utilized in the industrial sector and in final goods as a viscosity-controlling agent, binding agent, film former, and emulsion stabilizer.

Sodium polacrylate was first used and developed by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) 5 decades ago in astronauts’ diapers that they wore on lengthy space explorations. Since then numerous other benefits and applications of the polymer have been uncovered. For instance, agriculture grade sodium polyacrylate is utilized for watering plants in an effective way. When the plants require water, the roots get near the polymer and soak up water from that polymer.

Other applications of sodium polyacrylate include sanitary products which are pet pads, adult diapers, and baby diapers. The polymer is also applied as a thickening agent in final goods that include carpets, hair gels, paints, and upholstery. Sodium polyacrylate is also used in the medical sector as a thickening agent for various medical gels. Other interesting uses of the polymer include ice-bags, anti-flood bags, and artificial snow. It is also used in coatings industry, and in the construction sector, where it is utilized in chemical-based materials as an internal sealant.

Global Sodium Polyacrylate Market: Growth Factors

The surging usage of sodium polyacrylate in various consumer goods such as hair gels, diapers, and soaps is indirectly stimulating the demand for sodium polyacrylate. Such final goods are in great demand due to their convenience and cost-effectiveness. Also, the rapidly developing industrial and medical sectors will prove to augment the demand for sodium polyacrylate because it is extensively used in the industry construction as a sealant, and within the medical sector in surgical sponges that wipe away harmful spills. This in turn will stimulate the growth of the global sodium polyacrylate market in the forecast period.

However, even if sodium polyacrylate has numerous benefits, there exist a few restrictions too. For instance, the polymer can be highly poisonous when ingested or inhaled. It could also potentially cause irritation to the respiratory tract, eyes, or skin. In the year 1985, the application of sodium polyacrylate in tampons was halted because it created high levels of irritation to women. Additionally, sodium polyuacrylate is comprised of sodium which makes the soil hard when it is used for agricultural purposes. Nevertheless, the benefits of the polymer substantially outnumber the disadvantages of the same.
