I knew there was someone with a chemical engineer background out there that could make sense of that. Obviously I didn't realize this was the bulk product, not the fibers but I suspect the acronym is correct, regardless Jim Collins

Haven't read anything like that since I retired. Gave me goose bumps all over. Not my area of chemistry. Give Mark Delaney a chance read it - that's right down his alley. This reference gives the directions for making the bulk polymer (plastic) powder, not for making the SAAP fiber. Best to say that the SAAP is a synthetic polymer. Surprisingly, though, the article does make sense.......kinda. Gee I'm glad I retired! Allan -- Allan Fish Greenwood, IN [EMAIL PROTECTED]
