Sodium polyacrylate, with the chemical formula (C3H3NaO2) n, is a new type of functional polymer material and important chemical product
Sodium polyacrylate can be used as a thickener, emulsifier, film-forming agent, and dispersant. It is used to prepare facial mask, emulsion, etc. It can also be used as a scale remover for water quality treatment, organic glass coatings, paper industry, and boiler water treatment. The application field of sodium polyacrylate covers many industries such as the petroleum industry's circulating water system. Due to the expansion of its application field, production technology has developed rapidly.
In food, sodium polyacrylate enhances the protein adhesion of raw flour, allowing starch particles to bind with each other, disperse and penetrate into the protein network structure, forming a dense and stable dough colloid, preventing soluble starch from seeping out, and making the dough surface smooth and glossy; Sodium polyacrylate has strong water retention ability, which can evenly maintain moisture in the dough and prevent drying;
