Alternatively, acrylate polymers such as poly (butyl acrylate) can be hydrolyzed with sodium hydroxide to produce the sodium salt. Sodium polyacrylate is often called a “superabsorbent polymer” ...

Texicryl alkali swellable emulsions (ASEs) are dispersions of acid-functional acrylic polymers in water. These emulsions are supplied at low pH, meaning that acid groups on the polymer chains must be ...
