    Super absorbent polymer,SAP,water absorbent polymer:

can swell hundreds of times in water to form a clear gel. It is able to absorb,

store and release water and nutrient for promoting plant growth even against pressure. 

It is widely used by mixing with soil or substrate to preserve water and nutrionts,small plants,

agriculture and non-soil transportaion.

    Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) is a highly water-absorbent macro molecular 

material.It can absorb water up to several hundred times its weight. In addition,

it’s non-toxic,odorless and nonpolluting. Our SAP are widely used in industry, 

such as chemical commodities, the refrigenration industry,desiccant, oxygen 

absorber,medical and construction materials etc. It also used in the agricultural 

and forestry industries to preserve water and nutrition levels, resist drought, 

lower cost and increase income etc

    Water retaining agent is a kind of polymer with super absorbent, water retention and water release abilities. 

Containing a large number of strong hydrophilic groups, it can rapidly absorb several hundred times deionized 

wateror tens of times saline heavier than itself and creates a small reservoir which can rapidly absorb, store and slowly 

release water and nutrients. Therefore,the water retaining agent could effectively reduce deep percolation of 

 

irrigation water and fertilizer,improve utilization of water and fertilizer, enhance the water retention of soil and 

controlthe evaporation of water in order to meet the needs of plant growth. It can also improve soil structure,

 increase soil activity, reduce soil compaction and promote root growth and development.
