Superabsorbent polymers (SAP) are water absorbing polymers that are prepared from acrylic acid and cross-linkers. They are characterized as absorbing and retaining large amount of liquid to their own masses. It can be classified on the basis of its products like sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylamide copolymer, ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, and polyvinyl alcohol copolymers, etc. For efficiency, these polymers are moderately neutralized and cross linked with acrylic acid. This formulates them into gel which has 99% water swelling capacity. These are used majorly in sanitary napkins. Indeed, they have replaced the traditional absorbent materials like cloth, cotton, paper wadding, and cellulose fiber.

This absorbent is widely used for baby diapers, adult incontinence products, sanitary napkins, paper packaging, power or communications cable, medical, agriculture, horticultural water retention, control of spill and waste aqueous fluid, and artificial snow, etc. Today, this polymer with enhanced concentration has gained supreme adhesion, water absorption, and coverage & fire protection.
