SAP or Superabsorbent polymers is a material that can absorb up to 300 times their weight in aqueous fluids. Once absorbed, they do not subsequently release it. They are therefore an ideal material for use in products that are designed to contain fluids such as baby diapers/nappies/incontinence products/and feminine hygiene pads and liners.
The benefits of superabsorbent polymers
They help keep the skin dry. This creates comfort for the user.
They help protect against skin irritation in diaper users by reducing skin wetness. This is especially so in the presence of faces and associated enzymes.
They help prevent the spread of infections. The containment of fluid in the superabsorbent core reduces leakage. It also reduces the risk of urine mixing with fecal material and becoming contaminated with microorganisms which can cause the spread of diseases such as diarrhoea and gastroenteritis.
They offer improved quality of life and personal dignity.
The safety of superabsorbent polymers
Superabsorbents are safe for use in absorbent hygiene products. They have been extensively tested and researched. Scientists and doctors alike have reviewed the research and confirmed that superabsorbent material is safe. The use of superabsorbent polyacrylates in personal hygiene products has brought considerable health, hygiene, environmental, and lifestyle benefits to the carers and people using these products.
