Super absorbent polymers or SAP, classified as hydrogels are the most effective ways to treat medical and industrial liquid wastes. Their ability to efficiently absorb water makes them unique. Super absorbent polymers are now commonly made from the polymerization of acrylic acid blended with sodium hydroxide in the presence of an initiator to form a poly-acrylic acid.
With the increasing number of industries and hospitals, waste generation has shot up and therefore increased the problem of their waste disposal. This has resulted in more and more companies coming forward with their range of super absorbent polymers. Out of the plethora of companies plying through the market, Zappa-Tec deserves special mention. Based in the United States for years now, Zappa-Tec provides two revolutionary super absorbent polymers, namely Zaploc and Zapzorb to treat liquid medical wastes and liquid industrial wastes respectively.
Zaploc is a new product specifically formulated to meet the unique challenges of medical waste solidification. Designed and packaged for operating room (OR) suction canisters and spills; ZapLoc can also be used directly on fluid spills within a hospital, clinic or medical office. It is also the fastest and the most cost effective option available for liquid medical waste solidification. The unique particle size of the product dramatically reduces the time taken to completely solidify and dispose of liquid medical waste. The estimated time is as little as 3 minutes. The biggest benefit of this product is that it is the most cost effective medical waste solidification agent present in the market today. By using ZapLoc, you can rest assured that the time and expense connected with suction canister waste will be significantly reduced.
Zapzorb is one of the latest additions to the various solidifying agents available in the industry. This absorbent helps you save money by rapidly solidifying liquid industrial waste without significantly increasing volume. The advantages of Zapzorb are:
It reduces disposal costs.
Wastes pass paint filter test.
It is accepted into permitted facilities.
They effectively solidify a wide range of waste liquids
They also solidify industrial waste, mixed waste and hazardous waste streams.
ZappaTec is one of the most cost effective suppliers of super absorbent polymer for medical and industrial uses. Partnering with Degussa, it has become one of the leading suppliers of absorbent agents. Innovative and hard working attitude towards their products further ensures their quality.
