Super Absorbent Polymer
Preliminary Technical Data Sheet
0B
▪ Experimental concept sample based on SAVIVA® droplet polymerization technology
▪ Superior rewet and acquisition speed are obtained using SAVIVA®
▪ Round shape leads to a softer feel
Chemical nature: Polyacrylate sodium salt <97%, Water 3%
Appearance: White, odorless, single round shaped particles
Handling: SAP-X Hero C3 is slightly hygroscopic, therefore, it must be kept in a dry place. It is
insoluble in water and swells immediately on contact with water & aqueous media.
