Magic hydrogel is a superabsorbent polymer used in agriculture, horticulture, landscaping, and forestry to enhance soil water retention and improve plant survival and growth. It absorbs and retains water several hundred times its own weight and releases it gradually to plant roots, making it highly effective in drought-prone and water-scarce regions. It reduces irrigation frequency and helps maintain soil moisture.

Industrial Uses

1. Agrochemicals

  • Soil Moisture Retention: Magic hydrogel absorbs and retains large amounts of water, releasing it slowly to plant roots, thus improving water efficiency.
  • Drought Mitigation: Helps crops survive under water-scarce conditions by maintaining soil hydration.
  • Fertilizer Efficiency Enhancer: Reduces leaching of fertilizers by holding them in the root zone longer.

2. Construction

  • Moisture Retention in Concrete Curing: Helps in internal curing of concrete by releasing water gradually, improving strength and reducing cracking.
  • Dust Suppression: Can be used in hydromulching and dust control applications by binding fine particles.

3. Personal Care

  • Absorbent Core in Diapers and Hygiene Products: Used in baby diapers, sanitary napkins, and adult incontinence products for its high absorbency.
  • Cooling Gels & Packs: Included in hydrogel-based personal care products and medical cold packs.

Specifications

Assay >99% for methacrylic & ascorbic acids (raw chemicals); overall >95% gel integrity
Appearance Transparent 5–10% hydrogel (colorless to pale yellow depending on ascorbic acid)
Odor Slight acidic/sour aroma from monomer components
Boiling Point Gel melts around 30–40 °C; monomers much higher (MAA: ~17 °C mp as acid)
Melting Point Not applicable – hydrogel is water-based
Density ~1.0–1.05 g/cm³ (close to water dependent on gel concentration)
Solubility Swells in water; insoluble solid network once polymerized
Viscosity Starts fluid before setting; post-gel viscosity is highly elastic
Flash Point Not flammable (mostly water-based); monomers in low concentration, safe under normal use
