## Overview

This 5 lbs pack of Sodium Polyacrylate powder, branded Science Gone Fun, boasts an extraordinary ability to absorb over 600 times its weight in water, instantly turning into a gel. Widely used in superabsorbent diapers, it’s non-toxic and perfect for educational science experiments, spill absorption, and creative DIY projects, making it a versatile must-have for professionals and hobbyists alike.

## Description

Kids and adults will be amazed when they see the superabsorbent sodium polyacrylate soak up more than 500 times its weight in water and turn into gel! The greatest absorbency rate occurs with distilled water. When transitioning from distilled to tap water, the rate will vary and proportions used will change. This sodium polyacrylate powder, also referred to as the diaper powder, is used in baby's super absorbent diapers and other types of absorbent under garments. Teachers will find sodium polyacrylate great for chemistry classroom demonstrations and science experiments. Sodium polyacrylate is non-toxic when used as directed. Sodium polyacrylate can also be used for such things as making ice packs, absorbing liquid spills and magic tricks. This chemical powder comes in many different grinds. This is not the grind that makes instant snow. Ages 8 and up with adult supervision.

Review: This stuff is AMAZING! So much fun for Science Demonstrations or Parties! Sodium Polyacrylate will absorb huge amounts of water! This is also known as Texas Snow and is used in movies sometimes. If you cut open a diaper, Sodium Polyacrylate are the clear crystals inside that puff up when it gets wet. This powder is larger (coarse) crystal grains than others that I have used (and larger than the diaper stuff). The larger crystals means that it takes about 5-10 seconds rather than 1-2 seconds with the fine grained crystal powder to solidify..
Review: Fast ship.
