Lummus Technology offers the Saplene™ technology to produce a wide range of super absorbent polymer (SAP) polyacrylate resins, including products for the following applications:
- Baby diapers
- Feminine hygiene products

Saplene technology is a solution process using a belt-reactor, proving excellent process control and balance of product properties.
In the Verdene™ SAP configuration, the Saplene SAP process can produce at world-scale virtually 100% bio-based SAP, with strongly reduced CO2 emissions by the sequestration of CO2 as carbon atoms in the polymer chain, to meet the demand for bio-based products.
