Used in the production of superabsorbent polymers found in disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, adult incontinence products, and agricultural materials for soil moisture retention due to its high water absorption capacity. Employed in textile finishing to improve dye retention and fabric feel. Applied in water treatment as a dispersing agent to prevent scale formation. Utilized in enhanced oil recovery processes to modify fluid viscosity. Incorporated into adhesives, coatings, paints, and inks for improved flexibility and adhesion. Serves as a starting material and crosslinking agent in hydrogels, gels, and controlled release systems for medical, pharmaceutical, and biological applications.
