Folyadékoltó

Folyadékoltó is a Hungarian term that translates to "fluid absorber" or "liquid absorbent." It refers to materials that have the property of taking up and holding liquids. This can encompass a wide range of substances, from natural materials to synthetic polymers.

In everyday contexts, folyadékoltó might describe common household items like paper towels, sponges, or cotton balls, all of which are designed to absorb spills and moisture. In industrial applications, more specialized folyadékoltó materials are used. These can include superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) found in products like disposable diapers and adult incontinence products, which can absorb many times their own weight in liquid. Other industrial uses include absorbents for oil spills on water, chemical spill containment, and moisture control in packaging. The effectiveness of a folyadékoltó is often measured by its absorbency capacity and rate. The choice of folyadékoltó material depends heavily on the type of liquid to be absorbed, the volume, and the desired outcome, such as complete removal or controlled retention.
