- Water Souluble Polymers are
substances that dissolve, disperse or swell in water and, thus, modify
the physical properties of aqueous systems in the form of gellation,
thickening or emulsification/stabilization
-
They are used for a wide variety of
applications including food processing, water treatment, paper, enhanced
oil and natural gas recovery, mineral processing, detergents, textiles,
personal care products, pharmaceuticals, petroleum production, and
surface coatings.
-
Water-soluble polymers are of the following three groups:
Natural, including microbial-, plant- and animal-derived materials
Synthetic, which are produced by the polymerization of monomers
synthesized from petroleum- or natural gas–derived raw materials
Semisynthetic, which are manufactured by chemical derivatization of
natural organic materials, generally polysaccharides such as cellulose -
The demand of water soluble polymers
is in segments such as food, personal care products and pharmaceuticals.
China, Japan and India are the major markets in Asia
-
Among the various applications of
water soluble polymers, the fastest growth is observed in the water
treatment industry due to the strict environmental standards that are
being implemented in various countries and sewage treatment activities.
Other major application of water soluble polymers includes detergent &
household products, petroleum and paper making.
