Usage

How to Use:

Sprinkle the polymer powder over the spill.
Wait a few minutes as it absorbs the liquid.
Scoop up and discard the gelled mass.

Storage conditions

Storage Conditions

• Store at room temperature (15–25°C or 59–77°F)

• Keep it away from direct sunlight.

• Store in a dry place.

• Exposure to organic solvents, oils, or strong acids/bases.

• These can chemically damage the polymer.

Packing

Net: 250 gm.

Precautions

Precautions When Using Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP):

1. Personal Safety

Avoid inhaling the powder.
Fine SAP dust can irritate the respiratory tract. If handling large quantities, consider wearing a dust mask or respirator.
Wear gloves if you have sensitive skin — although SAP is generally non-toxic, it can dry out or irritate skin with prolonged contact.
Avoid contact with eyes.
If it gets in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation continues.

2. Keep Away from Heat & Flames

SAP is not flammable, but excessive heat can break it down.
Don’t expose it to open flames, stoves, or high-temp storage (e.g., near a furnace).

3. Avoid Premature Exposure to Moisture

Keep it sealed until you’re ready to use it. Moisture in the air or on hands can activate it and reduce its effectiveness.
Once hydrated, it can become very slippery — spilled hydrated gel is a slip hazard on smooth floors.

4. Cleaning Up

Never flush hydrated SAP down drains or toilets — it can clog plumbing.
Scoop or wipe up with paper towels or absorbent material, then discard in regular trash.

5. Child & Pet Safety

While it’s non-toxic, the dry powder can be a choking hazard or cause digestive issues if swallowed.
Keep it out of reach of children and animals, especially in its dry form.

6. Chemical Interactions

Don’t mix SAP with strong acids, bases, or oils — it won’t absorb them and may degrade.
It’s also ineffective with salty water (like seawater) — sodium ions reduce its absorption ability.
