Industrial Process Economics Reports About Sodium Polyacrylate Sodium Polyacrylate is a sodium salt of polyacrylic acid. It can be use as super absorbent polymers (it has the ability to absorb several times its mass in water), sequestering and thickening agents, coatings, laundry detergent and disposable diapers. The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific Sodium
