Sodium polyacrylate (ACR, ASAP, or PAAS), [1]: 233 also known as waterlock, is a sodium salt of polyacrylic acid with the chemical formula [−CH 2 −CH(CO 2 Na)−] n and has broad applications in consumer products.
Polyacrylic acid is a weak anionic polyelectrolyte, whose degree of ionisation is dependent on solution pH. In its non-ionised form at low pHs, PAA may associate with various non-ionic polymers (such as polyethylene oxide, poly-N-vinyl pyrrolidone, polyacrylamide, and some cellulose ethers) and form hydrogen-bonded interpolymer complexes.

Polyacrylate emulsion, water-borne coating, are used as binder for outdoor and indoor "latex" house paints.; Acrylic paints as artist paints.; Acrylic fibre.; Sodium polyacrylate water-soluble thickeners, a polymer for the production of the Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) used in disposable diapers due to its high absorbency per unit mass.
A SAP's ability to absorb water depends on the ionic concentration of the aqueous solution. In deionized and distilled water, a SAP may absorb 300 times its weight [4] (from 30 to 60 times its own volume) and can become up to 99.9% liquid, and when put into a 0.9% saline solution the absorbency drops to approximately 50 times its weight.
Acrylates (IUPAC: prop-2-enoates) are the salts, esters, and conjugate bases of acrylic acid.The acrylate ion is the anion CH 2 =CHCO − 2.Often, acrylate refers to esters of acrylic acid, the most common member being methyl acrylate.
Isomers of the repeating unit in polyaspartic acid.. Polycarboxylates are used as builders in detergents. [2] Their high chelating power, even at low concentrations, reduces deposits on the laundry and inhibits the crystal growth of calcite.
Polyacrylamide (abbreviated as PAM or pAAM) is a polymer with the formula (-CH 2 CHCONH 2-). It has a linear-chain structure. PAM is highly water-absorbent, forming a soft gel when hydrated. In 2008, an estimated 750,000,000 kg were produced, mainly for water treatment and the paper and mineral industries. [1]
Hydrated water gel, or water beads. Water crystal gel or water beads or gel beads is any gel which absorbs and contains a large amount of water.Water gel is usually in spherical form and composed of a water-absorbing superabsorbent polymer (SAP, also known as slush powder in dry form) such as a polyacrylamide (frequently sodium polyacrylate).
