What is Polyacrylic Acid?
Polyacrylic Acid (PAA) is a synthetic polymer. It is made by synthesizing it in water solutions using potassium persulfate and sodium pyrosulfate, which creates a radical polymerization reaction. Iron sulfate pentahydrate is also added as a chain length regulator. PAA is found in both powder as well as liquid forms offering variety of application areas. Few of the applications of PAA include waste water treatment, manufacturing of cosmetics, manufacturing of industrial cleaners and detergents, paints, coating, etc. The market of polyacrylic acid depends upon the growth of the end user industry. Geographically, Asia Pacific and North America are the prominent markets of PAA.
