Beyond Acrylics

Reluceo is a technology leader in developing and commercializing a new generation of degradable high performance non-acrylic superabsorbent polymers (SAP).

The current $40 BB+ industry of absorbent consumer products, including the proverbial mountain of infant diapers, is enabled and governed by the acrylic-based SAP (sodium polyacrylate). However, sodium polyacrylate is neither degradable nor renewable. As a result of its use, tens of millions of tons of untreated human waste swollen in spent diapers are deposited to permanent landfills every year.

Reluceo technology offers the path to solve the long-standing "end-of-life" problem of polyacrylic absorbent products. Our new generation of degradable high performance non-acrylic superabsorbent polymers (SAP) has a clear path for its manufacturing from renewable resources.
