What is the effect of sodium polyacrylate

Sodium polyacrylate is an organic polymer compound, and its main functions include the following aspects:

As a water treatment agent, sodium polyacrylate can form complexes with cations such as calcium and magnesium in water, thereby reducing the hardness of water and preventing the generation of scale and rust. Therefore, sodium polyacrylate is often used as a boiler water treatment agent, circulating water treatment agent, cooling water treatment agent, etc.

As a dispersant: Sodium polyacrylate has good dispersibility and can disperse solid particles in liquids to prevent their precipitation and scaling. Therefore, sodium polyacrylate is often used to prepare lotion, colloid, suspension, etc.

As a thickener: Due to the presence of a large number of carboxylic acid groups (- COOH) in sodium polyacrylate molecules, these carboxylic acid groups can form complexes with ions in water, increasing the viscosity and viscosity of the solution. Therefore, sodium polyacrylate is often used as a thickener in coatings, adhesives, paints, and other applications.

As a preservative: Sodium polyacrylate can form a protective film with the metal surface, thereby playing a anti-corrosion role. Therefore, sodium polyacrylate is often used for metal surface treatment, cooling water corrosion inhibition, and other aspects.

In summary, sodium polyacrylate has excellent water treatment, dispersion, thickening, and anti-corrosion properties, and is widely used in industrial production and daily life.
