Sustainable Cooling Pack Ingredient | Biodegradable Sodium Polyacrylate (CAS 9003-04-7)

Product Introduction

Eco-Friendly Ice Pack Material – Biodegradable Sodium Polyacrylate (CAS 9003-04-7)
This biodegradable sodium polyacrylate is specially developed as a safe and eco-friendly material for reusable ice packs and cooling applications. With its high water absorption and gel-forming ability, it effectively retains large amounts of water and provides long-lasting cooling performance. Unlike traditional non-degradable polymers, this advanced material decomposes naturally under suitable conditions, reducing environmental impact and offering a sustainable solution for cold chain logistics, medical cooling, food preservation, and personal care.

Key Features

• Biodegradable & Eco-Safe – Environmentally friendly alternative to conventional absorbents.

• Superior Absorption Capacity – Absorbs and retains hundreds of times its weight in water.

• Long-Lasting Cooling Effect – Maintains gel stability to ensure extended cold retention.

• Non-Toxic & Skin-Safe – Safe for medical and food-contact applications.

• Versatile Applications – Ideal for ice packs, cold storage, medical cooling, sports recovery, and perishable goods transport.

• Lightweight & Cost-Effective – Reduces shipping weight while delivering reliable cooling efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What makes this sodium polyacrylate eco-friendly?

A1: Unlike conventional SAPs, this grade is biodegradable, breaking down naturally under certain conditions to reduce environmental pollution.

Q2: Can it be used for both medical and food applications?

A2: Yes, it is non-toxic, safe, and suitable for medical cold therapy packs as well as food storage and transportation.

Q3: How long can the cooling effect last?

A3: The duration depends on the ice pack design and external temperature, but it typically maintains cooling much longer than plain water-based packs.

Q4: Is the material reusable?

A4: Once hydrated and frozen, the polymer gel can be reused multiple times in ice packs as long as the outer packaging remains intact.

Q5: How should the product be stored before use?

A5: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve its absorption capacity.
