China is the dominant global exporter of potassium polyacrylate, accounting for the majority of international supply, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea are the largest importers. Potassium polyacrylate prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from agricultural and horticultural applications. Export volumes from China have grown modestly over the past three years, while imports by the U.S. and EU member states have shown consistent year-on-year expansion, reflecting sustained industrial uptake.
Potassium polyacrylate is a white to off-white, odorless, hygroscopic solid typically supplied as a fine powder or granules; it is non-volatile and decomposes rather than melts at elevated temperatures. It is a water-soluble potassium salt of polyacrylic acid and is classified as a synthetic polyelectrolyte polymer. Primarily used as a superabsorbent polymer (SAP), it functions as a key functional additive in agricultural hydrogels, soil conditioners, and horticultural water-retention products. Its main commercial applications are in controlled-release agrochemical formulations, seed coating technologies, and specialty fertilizers—where it enhances water and nutrient retention in soils. It is not used as a chemical intermediate in synthesis but serves directly as a performance polymer in targeted agricultural and environmental applications.
This chemical is included in Fine Chemicals - Cosmetics Raw Materials. See more about what is Potassium polyacrylate and Potassium polyacrylate SDS information.
