Starch-Graft Sodium Polyacrylate Production
This report analyses the economics of Starch-Graft Sodium Polyacrylate production from corn and glacial acrylic acid in the United States. In this process, acrylic acid is grafted into corn starch forming a polyacrylate, which is then saponificated with sodium hydroxide.

Sodium Polyacrylate Production
It presents the economics of Sodium Polyacrylate production from glacial acrylic acid and sodium hydroxide in the United States. In this process, acrylic acid is partially neutralized by sodium hydroxide, yielding a solution of sodium acrylate monomers, which is subsequently polymerized to Sodium Polyacrylate via copolymerization of acrylic acid and its salts.
