Overview
SAP is the standard grade of the SAP family in the general-purpose plastics group. It is used in applications such as diapers and hygiene products, cable water-blocking tape and yarn, soil moisture regulator in agriculture. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.
Typical properties
| Property | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Absorption (pure water) | 200–500 g/g |
| Absorption (0.9% NaCl) | 40–60 g/g |
| Particle / fibre length | 150–850 µm |
| Moisture content | < %5 |
Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.
