Sodium polyacrylate
Sodium polyacrylate also referred to as Slush Polymer with the chemical formula [−CH2−CH(CO2Na)−]n. It has the capacity to absorb and retain liquid in large quantities relative to its own mass.
It is a white granular or powder solution material that can absorb liquid a hundred times its weight and when it does, it locks water firmly.
