The deionized water and 34kg chain transfer agent isopropanol were added to the reactor in turn and
heated to 80~82 °C. Add 14 kg of ammonium persulfate and 170 kg of monomer acrylic acid in aqueous
solution (deionized water) dropwise. After dripping, the reaction is 3h. Cool to 40 °C, add 30% NaOH
aqueous solution, neutralize to pH 8.0~9.0 to evaporate isopropanol and water to obtain liquid products.
Spray drying to obtain solid products acrylic acid or acrylate reacted with sodium hydroxide to obtain
sodium acrylate monomer, remove by-generated alcohols, concentrate and adjust pH value, polymerize
ammonium persulfate as a catalyst to obtain sodium acrylate monomer by reaction of acrylic acid and
sodium hydroxide, and then under the catalysis of ammonium persulfate, polymerize into sodium
polyacrylate and add sodium polyacrylate with a relative molecular weight of 1 000~3 000 into the
reactor and prepare a 30% aqueous solution
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Polyacrylic Acid Sodium Salt?
Polyacrylic Acid Sodium Salt is a new type of functional polymer material and an important chemical
product. The solid product is white or light yellow block or powder, and the liquid product is colorless
or light yellow viscous liquid. It is obtained from acrylic acid and its esters through aqueous solution
polymerization. Odorless, soluble in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, precipitated in aqueous
solutions such as calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide. It is often used as water treatment agent,
brine refining and latex thickening, and can also be used as food thickening and emulsification.
What is Polyacrylic Acid Sodium Salt used for?
Thickener
1. It has the following effects in food:
(1) Strengthen the protein cohesion in raw flour.
(2) Make the starch particles combine with each other, disperse and penetrate into the network structure
of the protein.
(3) Form a dense dough with a smooth and shiny surface.
(4) Form a stable dough colloid to prevent oozing out of soluble starch.
(5) Strong water retention, so that the water is evenly kept in the dough to prevent drying.
(6) Improve the extensibility of dough.
(7) Make the oil components in the raw materials disperse stably into the dough.
2. Interact with protein as an electrolyte, change protein structure, enhance viscoelasticity of food,
and improve tissue.
3. Since it dissolves slowly in water, it can be mixed with granulated sugar, powdered starch syrup,
emulsifier, etc. to increase the dissolution rate.
4. As a clarifying agent (polymer coagulant) for sugar liquid, salt water, beverages, etc.
Other Applications
1. Used as corrosion and scale inhibitor, water quality stabilizer, paint thickener and water retention
agent, flocculant, drilling mud treatment agent, etc.
2. It is used for circulating cold water treatment of copper equipment, and its scale inhibition effect
is good. When the dosage is 100 mg/L, it can form chelate complexes with scale-forming ions in medium
hardness water and flow with the water, and it can prevent the formation of iron oxide scale.
3. Used as fluid loss reducer in low solids drilling industry.
4. Good dispersant. It can be used in combination with other water treatment agents for oilfield water
injection, cooling water, and boiler water treatment.
