Sodium polyacrylate (PAAS) is a water-soluble polymer compound commonly considered non-toxic. According to the information obtained from the search, when sodium polyacrylate is used as a food additive, it meets the national food hygiene and safety standards, and when consumed, it will not decompose into toxic or harmful substances in the body. In addition, there is data indicating that sodium polyacrylate itself does not contain toxic components and is harmless to the human body.
Sodium polyacrylate is used as a thickener, stabilizer, etc. in the food industry, and also has applications in industries such as medicine, water treatment, textile printing and dyeing. It has been approved for use by the US FDA, Japan's Ministry of Health, and others. In 2000, the Chinese Ministry of Health officially approved it as a food grade thickener.
However, like all substances, even substances considered non-toxic may pose risks under specific conditions or at high doses. Therefore, the use of sodium polyacrylate should comply with relevant regulations and safety standards, avoid excessive intake, and pay attention to its safe usage instructions in different applications.
In industrial applications, sodium polyacrylate, as a water treatment agent, has dispersion and flocculation effects and is a mature industrial product with corresponding industry standards.
In summary, sodium polyacrylate is considered safe under specified usage conditions, but appropriate safety measures and usage guidelines still need to be followed.
