Super absorbent polymers have high demand from personal care industry
Super Absorbent Polymers |
Super Absorbent
Polymers are very powerful polymers that have the ability to absorb and retain
a large amount of liquid. They are extremely useful for a wide variety of
applications. In the field of medical research, superabsorbent polymers have
been found to have great potential in the treatment of patients with a range of
health conditions.
Super
Absorbent Polymer are made from a
mixture of different polymer materials. The process results in the formation of
three-dimensional networks of polymer chains. Afterward, the material is ground
to the desired particle size. Depending on the specific absorbency of the
material, it can be cross-linked. These processes make it possible for the
material to retain water over an extended period of time. After drying, the
granules are ready for packaging.
Growing hygiene
awareness and a rapidly-growing consumer base are the main drivers of the
global SAP market. These factors are boosting the development of the target
industry. Moreover, a growing population has further increased the acceptance
of such products. As a result, these products are now available in a wide range
of consumer products. The market for these products is set to increase
exponentially in the coming years. With the adoption of these innovative
technologies, the demand for these materials will rise substantially.
SAP were first
developed in the 1960s by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At
the time, the best water-absorbing materials were cellulosic/fiber-based
products like sponges, tissue paper, and fluff pulp/cotton. But these materials
only held up to twenty times their own weight, while super-absorbent polymers
can hold up to hundreds of times their weight! The development of these
materials paved the way for their widespread use in disposable diapers and
sanitary pads.

While
conventional super absorbent polymers have become unsustainable and account for
a large proportion of landfills worldwide, new bio-based varieties of these
materials promise to change this. These materials are expected to open up new
global markets for these products. These renewable polymers are expected to
offer an alternative to the petrochemical-based polymers used in disposable
diapers and other personal hygiene products.
The main
applications of super absorbent polymers are diapers and sanitary napkins. A
growing female population is creating a huge demand for sanitary napkins. In
addition, due to the aging population, the demand for adult diapers is
increasing rapidly. Therefore, SAP is a highly valuable material for
agriculture. The APAC region is expected to lead the market in the coming
years. Its applications in water conservation and wastewater treatment are
expected to drive significant growth in the next few years.
As water
scarcity and water quality have become a global concern, the use of SAP in
agriculture has also increased. In China, the Ministry of Agriculture oversees
a large public investment in the agricultural sector, including land, water,
and technology. The Ministry of Agriculture has also been investing in the
development of renewable-based superabsorbent polymers. The APAC region
currently leads the world market for this material in terms of volume and
value.
The market for SAP
is growing in the construction sector. Increasing female population is creating
a large demand for sanitary napkins, while the aging population requires more
adult diapers. As such, there are many opportunities in the market for this
product.
