    This "snow" can also be used as a fire retardant not very efficiently though cause it drys out but it will withstand a fair amount of heat due to the water layer in the molecular structure

    Is there a measurable difference in absorption between distilled and deionized water?

    Actually polysnow is very different to Sodium Poly where the SP actually turns to a gel where snow would turn to a well snow consistency

    My grandfathe invented that stuff. One time he was at our house, and cut a piece of daiper, then put it in a glass of water. After it finished absorbing, he drank the gel, and I believe the two pieces of daiper that were around the powder as well. He showed how safe it was, but I do not recommend anyone eating or drinking it. Even if the powder becomes fully saturated, I still don't recommend it, because I am still not sure how exactly the body reacts to it. My grandfather, before modern sodium Polyacrylate was widespread in daipers, he made some sodium polyacrylate with radiation, which he said two hands combined and full of the stuff could absorb several thousand gallons of water. He was upset people didn't buy it because they thought radiation was dangerous. He didn't think it was dangerous.

      @Muy
      You might have used a different form os sodium polyacrylate. In fact there are two main types of sodium polyacrylate sold commercially.
      The one used in diapers, mainly absorbs water but doesnt increase in size substanitally,(clear gel type)
      Whereas, the other type is used in instant snow, which does absorb water and increase in size substantially. So yeah. Hope that answers ur question.

    • @NEXCOsuperDIYArtsandCrafts
      @NEXCOsuperDIYArtsandCrafts 6 лет назад +1

      i think different materials will have different water absorption strengths.such as the “NEX&CO instant snow”, is made of polymer powder, after swelling out, the particles will be distinct.But it's super fast to expand.

    • @B-System
      @B-System 6 лет назад +3

      For any given polymer you can have chain lengths of vastly different sizes, as well as differing linking structures, which will define the bulk material properties.
      For any given material, too, its exact format can make a huge difference in its behavior. Diaper absorbent applications just want to hold water, so they use a fine powder, where artificial snows might use something more flaky, so it fluffs up more convincingly.
