\n\t\t\t\tSpongel: a new approach to superabsorbent materials\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1787918469232{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Spongel shows absorption and retention values hugely higher than the most non-acrilic SAPs currently available on the market. Thanks to the research about its components, its application is safe, in the food, medical and hygienic-sanitary sectors.<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]In 2015, a university study demonstrated that it was possible to produce a superabsorbent powder designed without chemical additives. Magic saw strong potential in the project, took it forward and, within a few years, developed and tested both the production process and the manufacturing plant.<\/p>\n

In 2017 Spongel won Edana Index Awards in the category \u201cRaw materials and innovation\u201d, the highest award for the best excellence examples in the industry.<\/p>\n

In 2020 it was certified Ok compost INDUSTRIAL.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1790865293131{padding-top: 3% !important;padding-bottom: 3% !important;}”][vc_column parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”6687″ parallax_speed_bg=”2.5″]
