Potassium polyacrylate

Description:
Potassium polyacrylate, with the CAS number 25608-12-2, is a polymeric compound derived from the polymerization of acrylic acid, where potassium ions are used to neutralize the carboxylic acid groups. This substance is characterized by its high water-absorption capacity, making it an effective superabsorbent polymer. It can absorb and retain large amounts of water relative to its own mass, which is why it is commonly used in applications such as agriculture for soil conditioning, in diapers, and in various hygiene products. The polymer exhibits good thermal stability and is generally non-toxic, making it suitable for a variety of consumer products. Additionally, potassium polyacrylate is known for its ability to form gels and retain moisture, which can enhance the growth of plants by improving soil moisture retention. Its properties can be influenced by factors such as molecular weight and the degree of cross-linking, which can affect its absorbency and mechanical strength.
