What Is Aqua-Solution?
Aqua-Solution looks like sugar but is really a cross-linked polymer, which only absorbs water-based solutions. It is actually sodium polyacrylate. Aqua-Solution is super-absorbent, taking a water solution from a liquid state to a semi-solid state gellatin form, not a completely hardened solid waste mass.
Aqua-Solution is used in a wide variety of ways in the construction, agricultural, industrial and petrochemical areas. The most well known application on the RTC Supply website is for the Vinyl-Con concrete washout disposal. Aqua-Solution can absorb large quantities of water or liquid solutions.
Other types of use are for agriculture exist in lawn care, transplanting, water retention aid, seeding, hydro mulching, bare root shipping, gardening and soil conditioning; industrial uses for Aqua-Solution include water removal, water retention, fuel filters, thickening agents, water stop material, sludge dewatering aid, cold/hot pack media and battery acids; within the petrochemical industry, the solidification of spills is its primary use.
Aqua-Solution cost much less: to dispose of than alternative methods because Aqua-Solution does not significantly increase the volume of the spill and waste when it turns to gellatin form for disposal. It expands in volume by less than 1%.
Aqua-Solution absorbs large amounts: of liquid, usually about 200 times its own weight. This means that a 2lbs bag of Aqua-Solution will easily absorb 38 gallons of liquid.
Aqua-Solution Absorbs Fast: Aqua-Solution turns liquid to gel approximately 2-3 minutes
After Absorption: Aqua-Solution gel will slowly evaporate until it reaches a relatively dry state, depending on the humidity present. After evaporation occurs this dry material will again absorb water to the original level. The cycle will continue for several cycles; however, the absorbent capability of Aqua-Solution diminishes with each use.
