Overview
Arctic Gel™ 2020 is a sodium acrylate-based superabsorbent polymer from BASF that is excellent for use in a variety of consumer and industrial applications. Its small and narrow particle size distribution offer superior gelling and absorption performance.
Superabsorbent polymers (SAP) can absorb and retain water and other fluids up to 1,000 times their weight. Arctic Gel™ 2020 features a clear appearance, fast gelling, and enhanced moisture control, allowing it to effectively absorb and store fluids within the polymer matrix. This unique capability ensures that Arctic Gel™ 2020 provides outstanding performance in moisture-intensive applications, minimizing leakages and improving overall product reliability. Its rapid gelling properties make it particularly effective for use in cooling and absorbent products, where quick fluid uptake is essential. The superior water retention of Arctic Gel™ 2020 ensures that fluids are securely held within the polymer structure, preventing re-release even under pressure. Arctic Gel™ 2020 can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of both consumer and industrial hydrogel products, making it an invaluable component in numerous applications.
Arctic Gel™ 2020 is designed for both consumer and industrial hydrogel applications providing high performance in cooling, absorbing moisture, and solidifying fluids.
