When the polyacrylamide formerly used in diapers was found to be contaminated with the monomer, those diapers were discontinued, and polyacrylate was used instead. At least I think that is true, though I cannot give you a link describing that history. Several web sites where the poo powder is sold and/or described state that the agent is like that in diapers. All disposable diapers on the market today contain polyacrylate. mcneely |
