Product Introduction

Sodium Polyacrylate (CAS 9003-04-7) is an advanced biodegradable super absorbent polymer widely used in eco-friendly ice pack applications. Known for its exceptional water-absorbing capacity—capable of holding up to 300 times its weight in water—this polymer forms a stable gel that retains cold for extended periods. Unlike traditional gel materials, it is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and safe for both human and environmental contact, making it an ideal choice for sustainable cold chain solutions.

Key Advantages

• Biodegradable & Eco-Friendly: Designed to break down over time, reducing environmental impact and supporting green packaging initiatives.

• Long-Lasting Cooling Performance: Maintains low temperatures for longer durations compared to standard gel-based packs.

• Non-Toxic & Safe: Free from harmful chemicals, making it safe for use in food transport, pharmaceuticals, and medical applications.

• Lightweight & Efficient: Expands upon hydration, reducing shipping weight and space while maximizing cooling effectiveness.

• Reusable & Customizable: Can be integrated into reusable ice pack formats or tailored to specific cooling needs and shapes.

FAQ

1. What is Sodium Polyacrylate and how does it work in ice packs?

Sodium Polyacrylate is a super absorbent polymer that can absorb and retain large amounts of water, forming a gel. In ice packs, it locks in water and maintains a cold temperature for extended periods after being frozen

2. Can these ice packs be reused?

Yes, ice packs made with Sodium Polyacrylate are reusable. Simply refreeze after use. The polymer maintains its absorbency and shape through multiple freeze–thaw cycles.

3.Is it environmentally friendly to dispose of?

Yes. When disposed of properly, the biodegradable polymer breaks down over time. Always follow local waste management guidelines for optimal environmental compliance.

4.Can the gel be customized for different applications?

Absolutely. The polymer concentration and gel density can be tailored for specific applications such as food delivery, pharmaceutical transport, or medical emergency kits.
