THEINSTANTABSORPTIONOF OUR NEW SGP® ABSORBENT POLYMER IS REALLYTURNINGONTHE NONWOVENS INDUSTRY. When starch-based absorbent polymers were first introduced, they caused a real splash. That's because these thirsty polymers could absorb large volumes of water and body fluids, congeal them, and hold them in gel dispersions. But to tap the absorbent non-wovens market, we needed more than high absorption. We needed fast absorption too. Our new SGP Absorbent Polymers offer both. Improved wicking is what makes the difference in Henkel's new polymers. The congealing rate of our new SGP 147 Absorbent Polymer powder is so rapid that it actually pulls water in, on contact. And special processing gives the particles non-blocking properties, so they won't form surface-wetted, dry-centered lumps. Whether fluids are added gradually or in a flood, our SGP 147 polymer will absorb them instantly Once we got a handle on what the non-wovens industry wanted in absorbent polymers, we turned our attention to how they wanted it: In powder form it doesn't require electrostatic application equipment, and our SGP 101 polymer offers the same high absorbent capacity in a soft hand film laminate. It cuts like paper without special equipment, for application to limited target areas. What we're doing in the nonwovens industry is just an indication of what we can do. So when it comes to chemicals and the problems you face, let us face them with you.
