Super absorbent polymer (SAP) is functional polymer, it can absorb hundred times of its own weight of water in a short time, and can absorb & release repeatedly. It’s known as mini water tanks in agriculture.

Our SAP for agriculture use is potassium based, it contains K2O after polymerization to provide increased benefits for an entire growing season across broad agricultural production applications, common particle size available:8-18 & 18-80.

We also have potassium and corn starch based superabsorbents, it'a natural and biodegradeble and made from polymerized starch. 

The chemistry and processing technology of KSAP are made specifically for eco-friendly agricultural applications.

Characteristics & advantages 
*   Potassium based
*   Functional polymer, swells to a gel upon contact with aqueous fluids.
*    Nontoxic, no residue, can absorb and release water repeatedly.
*    Enhance soil water-absorption, water-holding and nutrient preserving capability.
*    Increase soil structure & moisture.
*    Enhance soil water-holding capacity & nutrient preserving capability.
*    Water save up to 50%
*    Increase output & profits obviously.
*    Perfect match of fertilizer & pesticides.

Application for field crops, horticulture, trees planting, vegetable planting,flower pots,golf course etc.

Tips: How to identify SAP is potassium based or sodium based?

1) Identify product type

For agriculture use, please pay much attention to those sodium based SAP for disposal use, which is sodium polyacrylate product and degrade very fast,as per the chemicals structure.

2) Identify the quality

Although both are co-polymers, but it exists potassium and sodium based types, sodium based is much  cheaper than potassium based and it can rotten the plant roots and caused soil cake. Potassium based is for agriculture use only, it’s good for plant growth. Also, the cross-linking agent is different during polymerization, the less cross-linked typed with high absorbency rate, but with worse release performance and weak gel strength. Also the raw material purity and ratio & polymerization technology are essential for the product quality.

3) Identify the supplier

Fully check if it's a real manufacturer with production technology, raw material purity, solid content etc, ask samples to do the compared testing.

4) Do grass seeds germination test

To check SAP product is potassium based or not, the simple way is to do the grass seeds germination test, steps as belows:

-Measure 1g SAP sample, put it into 110g tap water within 10minutes it will be hydrated to water gel.

 -Measure 1g grass seeds, put them on the surface of the water gel.

- After 4-7 days, the seeds put on the potassium based SAP gel will be germinated, but sodium base gel the seeds get rotten.Do the same with the compared sample.
