Potassium polyacrylate|Agricultural super absorbent polymer

Aug 31st,2022

SOCO® potassium polyacrylate is a functional polymer material with particularly strong water absorption capacity. Water is released and absorbed repeatedly, so people in agriculture compare it to a “micro reservoir”. At the same time, it can also absorb fertilizers and pesticides and release them slowly to increase fertilizer efficiency and medicinal effects. Super absorbent resin is widely used in agriculture, forestry, gardening, etc.



SOCO® potassium polyacrylate Product Features:

Potassium based super absorbent polymer biodegradable Used for fruit trees and flowers, afforestation, soilless cultivation, plant preservation and transportation, field crops, etc.


Preserving moisture and saving water, can effectively inhibit water evaporation and prevent soil erosion, even under irrigation conditions, it can still save more than 50% of water.


Improve the soil structure, so that the heavy soil, the sandy soil with leaking fertilizer and the secondary saline-alkali soil can be improved, while promoting the development of soil microorganisms and improving the turnover and utilization efficiency of soil organic matter.


Long service life, with the characteristics of multiple polymers, it can repeatedly absorb water to expand and release contraction, and the service life can reach more than 2 years in production.


Water storage does not rot the roots. The water-retaining agent molecules absorb enough water to swell into hydrogel crystals, and the roots will not rot even if they are close to the plant roots.


Stable performance Even in extreme drought, it will not suck up plant water.

Is SOCO® potassium polyacrylate biodegradable?

SOCO® potassium polyacrylate hydrogel is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly product with potassium polyacrylate as the main ingredient, which is designed to improve the water retention capacity of the soil and thus promote plant growth. The product has good water absorption and water retention properties, and can be degraded in the natural environment without pollution to the environment.

  • High Water Retention: Potassium polyacrylate has a super absorbent capacity, capable of absorbing and storing large amounts of water, gradually releasing it for plant use.

  • Biodegradable: SOCO® water-retaining agent can decompose into harmless substances under natural conditions, causing no pollution to soil and water bodies.

  • Environmentally Safe: This product is non-toxic and harmless, posing no adverse effects on humans, animals, or the environment during use.

  • Soil Improvement: Effectively enhances soil water retention and aeration, improves soil structure, and promotes the development of plant root systems.

  • Wide Application: Suitable for agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and various other fields, particularly for crop cultivation in arid and semi-arid regions.

How potassium polyacrylate uses?

Soil mixing: Sprinkle an appropriate amount of SOCO® water retainer evenly on the soil surface, then turn the soil and mix it so that the water retainer is fully in contact with the soil.

Add during planting: During the planting process, add the water retainer directly to the planting hole or ditch and use it with seeds or seedlings.

Post-maintenance: According to the plant growth and soil moisture, the water retainer can be added in appropriate amounts to ensure the soil's continued water retention capacity.


SOCO® potassium polyacrylate manufacturer in China will not have a negative impact on the environment during use. Its main ingredient, potassium polyacrylate, can be gradually degraded in the natural environment and eventually converted into environmentally friendly substances. By improving soil moisture conditions and reducing irrigation water consumption, SOCO® water retainer can also effectively save water resources and has significant environmental benefits.Potassium polyacrylate, a type of superabsorbent polymer, is generally considered biodegradable under certain conditions.


Potassium-based superabsorbent polymers are high-performance water-absorbent materials that combine the chemical properties of elemental potassium with the physical properties of superabsorbent polymers to exhibit excellent water absorption, retention, and slow release of water. The polymer rapidly absorbs and locks in large amounts of water, forming a stable gel structure that effectively retains moisture even under stressful or dry conditions, providing a long-lasting moisture supply for plants or other applications.


Potassium polyacrylate, a type of super absorbent polymer (SAP), is generally considered non-biodegradable under normal environmental conditions.


Potassium-based Super Absorbent Polymers (SAPs) are a specialized class of synthetic materials that exhibit exceptional water absorption and retention capabilities.
