Sodium Polyacrylate for Industrial Moisture Control and Waste Solidification

If you handle drilling mud, tunneling slurry, mine tailings, or liquid waste, you know the cost of hauling water. Our sodium polyacrylate (SAP) converts free liquid into a stable gel within minutes, helping you pass the Paint Filter Test and cut disposal and transport costs.

What it does

Rapid solidification: Locks in free water in sludge, drilling fluids, lagoon dredge, and paint waste.

Moisture management: Reduces ore stickiness on conveyors and prevents cargo liquefaction risks.

Process reliability: Stabilizes boreholes and limits fluid loss in HDD/TBM and mining operations.

Where it’s used

Sludge and slurry from tunneling, dredging, construction, HDD, and TBM

Drilling mud (bentonite, water-based) and hydraulic excavation spoils

Mining sites for dust suppression (30–60% reduction reported) and localized dehumidification

Gel ice pack manufacturing (bulk SAP powder; mix with water to form durable hot/cold gel)

Waste paint solidification for easy curbside disposal

Why choose SOCO SAP

Fast action, low dosage: Typical usage for HDD mud is about 0.5%–1.5% of mud weight; minimal volume expansion (~1%).

Flexible specs: Multiple particle sizes, adjustable absorption rates, and grade selections for industrial, mining, medical, and agriculture.

Consistent supply: 10+ years of SAP manufacturing with technical support and 24/7 “Ask The Expert” service.

Compliance and handling

Designed to help meet landfill acceptance standards where the Paint Filter Test applies.

Non-corrosive and easy to handle; compatible with standard on-site workflows.
