Water blocking agents for civil engineering and cables, etc.
- Applications
- Functions
Basic Information
AQUALIC™ CS are salt-tolerant and water-absorbing polymers that are mainly used in civil engineering.
These polymers maintain a stable water absorption amount, even in seawater and other such water containing large quantities of electrolytes.
Features and Properties
Excellent absorption of groundwater and seawater
The amount of water absorbed by general water-absorbing polymers decreases in seawater and other such aqueous solutions with a high saline concentration and in polyvalent metal salt aqueous solutions; however, AQUALIC™ CS polymers maintain their water-absorption amounts in such aqueous solutions.
Overview of Absorption Properties
