Title: Is there a super absorbent polymer that turns into a firm gel rather than jelly?
Post by: judascrikey on 04/07/2010 21:57:41

I am looking for a compound similar to sodium polyacrylate that will absorb many times it's weight in water and will form a dense gel rather than a mushy jelly like substance.  Is there a different polymer that will do this or is there something you could add to a SAP that will give me the results I am looking for?  Thanks for your help!
