Short Description
A plant-based superabsorbent polymer that absorbs and retains large amounts of water while being fully biodegradable.
Long Description

This eco-friendly superabsorbent polymer is developed from renewable plant-derived polysaccharides and crosslinked with biodegradable agents. It can absorb hundreds of times its own weight in water, making it ideal for applications in agriculture, hygiene products, and spill control. Unlike conventional synthetic polymers, this material breaks down naturally, leaving no microplastic residue and reducing environmental impact.

Potential Applications
Agricultural water retention, Diapers and hygiene products, Spill containment, Medical wound dressings, Horticulture.
