Even when subject to pressure, this polymer securely retains the absorbed liquids. In 1978, we were the first in the world to begin commercial production of SAP. Today, SAP is used in a wide range of applications, from hygiene materials used mainly in disposable diapers and sanitary products to non-hygienic applications such as agriculture &amp; horticulture, pet, construction and civil engineering, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>Mechanism of absorption<\/h3>\n<p class=\"btm20\">SAP are crosslinked networks of flexible polymer chains. The polymer chains are shrunk befor absorbing water. When water comes into contact polymer chains, these chains are expanded. Water is trapped tightly within networks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fltimgL btm50\">\n<div class=\"boxL\">\n<p class=\"img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4839\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sanyo-chemical.co.jp\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/water_supply_equipment.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1138\" height=\"582\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"boxR\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yd9NA1HjZ7A\" width=\"95%\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block;
