Product Description: Poly(acrylic acid) is widely used in the production of superabsorbent polymers, which are essential in hygiene products like diapers and sanitary napkins due to their ability to absorb and retain large amounts of liquid. In the water treatment industry, it serves as a dispersant and scale inhibitor, preventing the buildup of mineral deposits in pipes and equipment. It is also employed in the formulation of detergents and cleaning agents, where it enhances the effectiveness of surfactants by preventing dirt from redepositing on surfaces. In the pharmaceutical field, it is used as a binder in tablet formulations and as a component in drug delivery systems to control the release of active ingredients. Additionally, it finds application in the cosmetics industry as a thickening agent and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and gels. In agriculture, it is utilized in soil conditioners to improve water retention and aeration, promoting healthier plant growth. Its versatility and effectiveness in various industries make it a valuable polymer.
