It is capable of holding up to 400-500 times its weight in water. It has a variety of industrial uses ranging from laundry detergent and fake snow to baby diapers and even a maximum absorbent garment used by NASA! It starts out as a white powder substance, and when mixed with water becomes a clear gel material. However, it can be liquefied by adding salt to the gel material. It can also be dried out and and reused to make another batch of gel - or fake snow - by adding water to it again. Anyone can buy it at a pretty low cost online. And it doesn't take much powder to get a pile of gel. Check it out! It's pretty cool! >>By the way...you can see a demonstration of its use on YouTube.

Sodium polyacrylate is a superabsorbent polymer that can absorb and retain large amounts of liquid relative to its mass. It is commonly used in products like diapers, sanitary pads, and soil additives to enhance absorption capabilities.
