Acrylate Polymers –
ETi offers a very broad range of acrylate-based superabsorbents. Depending
on the intended application, a specific polymer can be matched to
meet requirements such as speed of absorption, absorbency under pressure,
freeswell absorption, retention, particle size, etc. View

Copolymer
Chemistry - These polyacrylate/polyacrylamide copolymers were originally designed
for use in conditions where there is high electrolyte/mineral content and
a need for long term stability including numerous wet/dry cycles; i.e. the
agricultural and horticultural markets. These copolymers, with the added
strength of the acrylamide monomer, have proven themselves useful and efficient
in a number of applications outside of agricultural uses such as medical
spill control, wire & cable waterblocking, etc. View

Solution
Polymers - This relatively new form of absorbent polymer chemistry offers the absorbency
of a granular polymer supplied in solution form. As the name implies, these
materials are true solutions and can be diluted with water prior to application
if desirable. Virtually any substrate can be coated or saturated with these
materials. After curing (drying) at a specific temperature for a specific
time, the result is a coated substrate with superabsorbent functionality.
For example, this chemistry can be applied directly onto wires & cables,
though it is especially optimized for use on components such as rolled goods
or sheeted substrates. View
