Super Absorbent Polymer
Crosslinked sodium acrylate copolymer
9003-04-7
Sodium polyacrylate is a white, granular, odorless polymer that yields a gel-like material with the addition of water. It is insoluble in water and causes extremely slippery conditions when wet. Although not regulated as a hazardous material, the respiratory dust is potential respiratory tract irritant. An eight-hour exposure limit of 0.05 mg/m* is recommended.
Dust may cause burning, drying, itching, and other discomfort, resulting in reddening of the eyes.
Exposure to the dust, such as in manufacturing, may aggravate existing skin conditions due to drying effect.
Although not a likely route of entry, tests have shown that polyacrylate absorbents are non-toxic if ingested.
However, as in any instance of non-food consumption, seek medical attention in the event of any adverse symptoms.
Exposure to respirable dust may cause respiratory tract and lung irritation and may aggravate existing respiratory conditions.
Hazard Scale: 0 = Minimal 1= Slight 2 = Moderate 3 = Serious 4 = Severe * = Chronic Hazard
