Water-absorbing resins protect the moisturizing of the soil


Due to the good water absorption capacity and water retention of water-absorbing resin, it is used as a soil water retention agent in agriculture. As long as 0.1% superabsorbent resin is mixed in the soil, the degree of dryness and wetness of the soil will be well adjusted, so that the crop will grow vigorously, the yield will be increased, and labor will be saved. When there is too much water, the resin will absorb the excess water, and when it dries, it will release the water, which is especially important in water-scarce areas. Directly coating the cable with absorbent resin or making a strip-coated cable can prevent water from attacking the cable, and it is currently expanding its application in power cables and communication cables, especially in optical fiber cables. In terms of packaging, absorbent resins can be used for the packaging and transportation of dangerous goods, high- and medium-level laboratory chemicals, flowers and plants. It can also be used for food packaging, such as using absorbent resin as a backing gasket for meat products, to prevent liquid from flowing out of the bag. In addition, dry granular superabsorbent resin can also be used to adsorb splashed or leaked oil and acid and other corrosive substances, and can also be used for oil, resin additives, fillers and solvent dehydration, as well as absorption of cold storage agents, air filtration, anti-static sealing, etc. Because the water-absorbing resin has a strong water absorption capacity and does not absorb hydrophobic hydrocarbon substances, it can be mixed with inorganic substances or organic lipids to make composite materials, and the water injection wells and oil production wells are treated to improve the water absorption capacity of the low permeability layer and reduce the effluent. The polymer water-absorbing resin is mixed with natural rubber or synthetic rubber, and other necessary substances of rubber, such as fillers, modifiers, vulcanizing agents and other additives, processed and molded, made into sealing materials, the material in contact with water, high expansion, maintain good mechanical strength, and has strong acid resistance, strong alkali properties. Therefore, it can be used for waterproofing and sealing of buried oil and gas pipelines or pipelines floating on water.
