Abstract

Discrete particles of sodium polyacrylate of high molecular weight and in which the majority of the particle size is in the range of not less than 0.5 mm. nor more than 1.0 mm. diameter are achieved, in an economy of production, by suspension polymerization in stages of 40.degree. C. (2 hours), 50.degree. C. (2 hours) and 60.degree. C. (2 hours) in the presence of a protective colloid.
