These polymers have the capacity to absorb approximately 200-2000 times their weight in purified water, transforming into a water gel. However, their absorption capability reduces to about 50 times their weight in saline solutions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\">\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_1536\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1536\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1536\" title=\"GELSAP Soil moisture retention\" src=\"https:\/\/saphydrogels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GELSAP-Soil-moisture-retention-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"GELSAP Soil moisture retention\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saphydrogels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GELSAP-Soil-moisture-retention-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/saphydrogels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GELSAP-Soil-moisture-retention-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/saphydrogels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GELSAP-Soil-moisture-retention-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/saphydrogels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GELSAP-Soil-moisture-retention-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/saphydrogels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GELSAP-Soil-moisture-retention-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/saphydrogels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GELSAP-Soil-moisture-retention-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/saphydrogels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GELSAP-Soil-moisture-retention-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1536\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GELSAP Soil moisture retention<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are they used for?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saphydrogels.com\/en_nz\/agriculture-sap\/\">Superabsorbent crystals<\/a> find extensive use in hygienic products such as diapers as they serve as efficient absorbent materials. They are also utilized in industrial applications, including waterproofing materials and anti-flood bags. Moreover, these water gels play a crucial role in providing water to plants, especially during arid seasons, thereby aiding in water retention and increasing crop yields.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is quality determined?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quality of superabsorbent crystals varies depending on their intended application. For instance, in hygienic products, the absorbent rate is a critical factor, whereas in agriculture applications, different parameters come into play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the price range?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price of superabsorbent crystals varies based on their application. Generally, it ranges from approximately USD 1.8 to 3.5 per kilogram, with significant variations depending on the specific use case.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can you purchase them?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For reliable sourcing of superabsorbent crystals, considering a professional supplier like us is highly recommended. We offer quality products and expertise in this field, making us a trustworthy option for your needs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Superabsorbent crystals are polymers known for their remarkable ability to absorb liquids.
