If you work in e-commerce or fresh food, you have probably heard of super absorbent polymer (SAP). What exactly is it? Put simply, it is a type of high-molecular polymer made into white granules or powder. When it comes into contact with water, it swells and locks in hundreds of times its own weight of moisture, and the water does not easily leak out.
You have definitely seen its most common use – the absorbent core layer in baby diapers. In recent years, logistics ice packs, fresh food absorbent pads, and agricultural water retention agents have all used SAP as their core material.
It is completely different from the physical water absorption of a sponge. A sponge stores water in its pores and squeezes it right back out. SAP, on the other hand, draws water molecules into its high-molecular network and holds them so firmly that you cannot squeeze them out. This is called chemical water locking.
