Super Absorbent Polymer for Sanitary Napkins — Wholesale Supplier India
Super absorbent polymer for sanitary napkins is the most critical raw material in modern feminine hygiene manufacturing. Favourite Fab is a B2B wholesale supplier based in Agra, India, supplying high-performance SAP to sanitary pad manufacturers across 50+ countries. We offer food-grade, certified SAP in bulk quantities with competitive FOB pricing, free samples, and fast dispatch.
What is Super Absorbent Polymer and Why it Matters
Super absorbent polymer (SAP) is a cross-linked polyacrylate material. It absorbs and retains fluid many times its own weight. In a sanitary napkin, SAP sits within the absorbent core — typically combined with cellulose fiber or wood pulp fluff. It locks fluid away from the skin surface, reducing leakage and improving wearer comfort.
Without high-quality SAP, even the best top sheet and back sheet cannot deliver the performance modern consumers expect. Therefore, sourcing the right SAP grade is one of the most important procurement decisions a sanitary pad manufacturer makes. Favourite Fab supplies SAP specifically optimised for feminine hygiene applications — fast absorption speed, high gel strength, and low rewet.
Our SAP is compatible with all major sanitary napkin making machine brands. It is used successfully by manufacturers producing ultra-thin pads, maxi pads, night pads, and maternity pads. We also supply SAP for raw material for sanitary pad applications including underpads and adult diapers.
Super Absorbent Polymer — Specifications and Options
We supply SAP in multiple grades to suit different sanitary napkin formats and performance requirements. Below are our standard specifications. Custom grades are available on request for large volume orders.

SAP Applications in Sanitary Napkin Manufacturing
Super absorbent polymer is used at multiple points in the sanitary napkin structure. Understanding each application helps you select the correct grade and quantity for your product format.
- Absorbent core: SAP is blended with cellulose fiber for sanitary pads or wood pulp sheet for sanitary napkins to form the main absorption layer. SAP content typically ranges from 20% to 60% of core weight depending on the pad format.
- Ultra-thin pad cores: In ultra-thin formats, SAP content is higher because the core is thinner. Here, absorption speed and gel blocking resistance are critical. Our premium grade SAP is specifically recommended for ultra-thin applications.
- SAP sheet format: For manufacturers using pre-formed core sheets, we supply SAP in sheet form via our SAP sheet for sanitary napkins product. This eliminates SAP dusting on the production line and simplifies core formation.
- Wing and side zone: Some premium pad designs incorporate SAP in wing zones for additional leakage protection. Lower particle size grades work best in these narrow zones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is super absorbent polymer used for in sanitary napkins?
A: Super absorbent polymer is the core absorption material in sanitary napkins. It is blended with cellulose fiber or wood pulp fluff to form the absorbent core layer. SAP locks fluid away from the skin surface, prevents leakage, and maintains dryness throughout wear.
Q: What is the absorption capacity of your SAP?
A: Our standard feminine hygiene SAP has a Centrifuge Retention Capacity (CRC) of 30–60 g/g under 0.9% saline solution. Absorption Under Pressure (AUP) at 0.3 psi is 20–28 g/g. Full test reports are provided with every shipment.
Q: Is your SAP safe for use in sanitary napkins?
A: Yes. Our SAP is fully tested and certified for feminine hygiene applications. It is REACH compliant, RoHS compliant, and manufactured under ISO 9001 systems.
