Product Introduction

The Eco-Friendly Ice Pack Material made from Biodegradable Sodium Polyacrylate (CAS 9003-04-7) is a highly efficient water-absorbing polymer designed for use in reusable and disposable ice packs. It offers superior water retention, forming a gel-like structure that remains flexible even when frozen. Unlike traditional materials, this biodegradable polymer reduces environmental impact while maintaining excellent cooling performance.

Key Features

• Biodegradable & Eco-Friendly: Breaks down naturally, minimizing environmental pollution.

• Strong Water Absorption: Absorbs and retains large volumes of water, forming stable gel beads.

• Long-Lasting Cooling: Maintains low temperatures for extended periods.

• Non-Toxic & Safe: Harmless to humans and animals, suitable for food and medical applications.

• Versatile Applications: Ideal for cold chain transport, first-aid kits, outdoor activities, and perishable goods storage.

FAQ

What is biodegradable sodium polyacrylate used for in ice packs?

Biodegradable sodium polyacrylate is used as the core absorbent material in ice packs. It absorbs water and forms a gel-like structure that stays flexible and cold for long periods, making it ideal for cold chain transport, medical cooling, and outdoor use.

Is the material safe and non-toxic?

Yes. This material is non-toxic, odorless, and safe for both humans and animals. It is suitable for use around food and medical supplies.

How does it biodegrade?

Unlike conventional sodium polyacrylate, this eco-friendly version is designed to break down naturally in the environment through microbial activity, reducing long-term environmental impact.

How much water can it absorb?

Biodegradable sodium polyacrylate can absorb and retain up to 300–500 times its own weight in water, ensuring long-lasting cooling performance.

Can it be reused?

Yes. Ice packs containing this material can be refrozen and reused multiple times as long as the outer packaging remains intact.
