Sodium polyacrylate is an anionic polyelectrolyte with negatively charged carboxylic groups in the main chain. Sodium polyacrylate is a chemical polymer made up of chains of acrylate compounds. It contains sodium, which gives it the ability to absorb large amounts of water. Sodium polyacrylate is also classified as an anionic polyelectrolyte.
Water-soluble sodium polyacrylate is a commonly used dispersing agent in industry, which can be used as scale inhibitor and dispersing agent in circulating cooling water systems such as power plants, chemical plants, fertilizer plants, oil refineries and air conditioning systems.
Water-soluble sodium polyacrylate can also be used as a viscosity reducer for drilling fluid, suitable for water-based drilling fluid system, can reduce filtration loss, improve the quality of mud cake, has a certain temperature and salt resistance ability. It can be used directly or prepared into an aqueous solution.
In addition, sodium polyacrylate is also widely used in papermaking and textile printing and dyeing, ceramics, coatings, building materials and other industries.
