Advantages of hydrogel


Hydrogels are polymeric compounds that can absorb more than 100 times their own weight in water, or even oil.

  I. Advantages of Hydrogels

  1. Strong water absorption

  Hydrogels are high molecular weight compounds that can absorb more than 100 times their own weight in water, or even oil. This water absorption capacity makes hydrogels widely applicable in many fields.

  2. Good stability

  Hydrogels have high stability and maintain their water absorption stability even under extreme weather conditions. Furthermore, after repeated use, hydrogels still maintain their water absorption performance very stably.

  3. Environmentally friendly

  Hydrogels are non-toxic, odorless, and harmless compounds that do not pollute or harm the environment. They can naturally decompose into organic matter without causing any negative impact on land or water bodies.

  4. Controllable

  The water absorption of hydrogels can be adjusted as needed. Hydrogels of different specifications, such as high, medium, and low water absorption, can be produced to meet different application needs.

  II. Applications of Hydrogels

  1. Moisturizer

  Hydrogels can be used as plant moisturizers to reduce the frequency of plant watering and improve plant survival rates. They can also be used in indoor flower cultivation to reduce the need for soil and improve the growth rate and quality of flowers.

  2. Water retention agent

  Hydrogels can be used as water retention agents. In dry climates, they can absorb and store water. This is prevalent in agriculture, horticulture, and landscape design, and is even more important in desertified areas.

  3. Refrigerant

  Hydrogels can be used as refrigerants in refrigerators and freezers. In summer, hydrogels can absorb the temperature inside the refrigerator or freezer, lowering the temperature and improving the cooling effect.

  In summary, hydrogels, as versatile compounds with advantages such as water absorption, good stability, and environmental friendliness, can not only improve production efficiency but also meet the needs of daily life.

Cosmetics Observation | Microcapsule Technology - Another Growth Point in the Era of Effective Skin Care?

In the era of efficacious skincare, consumers' focus on a product is no longer limited to the ingredient list. Instead, they are more interested in whether the formula can truly deliver its claimed efficacy, including whether the active ingredients can remain active and to what extent they can be absorbed by the skin. These consumer concerns are also the difficulties in the R&D of efficacious skincare products, and microencapsulation technology is one of the solutions.
