Potassium polyacrylate

Potassium polyacrylate (CAS 25608-12-2 ) is a water-soluble superabsorbent polymer used across agriculture, water treatment, and personal care manufacturing. It absorbs and retains large volumes of water relative to its own weight. This makes it a functional material for moisture management and rheology control in both industrial and consumer formulations. In agriculture, it is incorporated into soil conditioning products and slow-release fertilizer carriers. These applications help to reduce irrigation frequency by retaining moisture in the root zone. Water treatment operations use it as a flocculant and scale inhibitor in cooling water systems and industrial effluent processing. Personal care formulators add it to gels, creams, and lotions where it functions as a thickener and humectant. This contributes to texture and moisture retention in the finished product for various consumer uses. In home care and industrial cleaning products, it supports suspension stability and controls viscosity in liquid detergent formulations. This ensures that active ingredients remain evenly distributed throughout the shelf life. Potassium polyacrylate is supplied as a white powder or granule, with particle size and molecular weight varying by application grade. Agricultural and horticultural grades are the most common types available. These specific grades are specified by absorbency capacity and gel strength to meet farming requirements. Technical and industrial grades are available for water treatment and cleaning applications with high performance. Purity and viscosity specifications differ accordingly to ensure compatibility with industrial processes. Our material meets rigorous internal quality controls to ensure consistent performance across all manufacturing sectors. Contact us for supply of Potassium polyacrylate Request Quote
