Material Properties and Main Applications of Polyaspartic Acid (PASP)

Polyaspartic acid is an amino acid polymer that naturally exists in the shells of snails and mollusks. It is a biodegradable and environmentally friendly chemical.

English name: Polyaspartic Acid, abbreviated as PASP.

Material Properties of Polyaspartic Acid           

Biodegradability and environmental friendliness:

Polyaspartic acid is an environmentally friendly polymer material with good biodegradability. The peptide bonds on the main chain of its structure are easily broken by microorganisms, fungi, etc., and the final degradation products are harmless ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water to the environment. This characteristic enables polyaspartic acid to reduce environmental pollution in various applications, in line with the production concept of green chemistry.

Chemical stability and reactivity:

The molecular chain of polyaspartic acid contains a large number of unreacted carboxyl groups, which endow polyaspartic acid with good chemical stability and reactivity. It can react with cross-linking agent to form a hydrogel with spatial network structure, which has excellent water absorption and water retention properties.

Multifunctionality:

Polyaspartic acid has strong chelating, dispersing, and adsorption properties, and has good compatibility. These characteristics make polyaspartic acid  widely applicable in various fields.

The Main Uses of Polyaspartic Acid       

In the field of water treatment:

Polyaspartic acid is a new type of green water treatment agent that has scale inhibition and dispersion effects, as well as corrosion inhibition effects. Especially suitable for inhibiting the formation of calcium carbonate scale, calcium sulfate scale, barium sulfate scale, and calcium phosphate scale in cooling water, boiler water, and reverse osmosis treatment. Its scale inhibition rate can reach 100%, and it has a good anti-corrosion effect on metal equipment.

In the field of agriculture:

Polyaspartic acid itself is not a fertilizer, but it can be used as a fertilizer enhancer. By chelating metal ions, the absorption and utilization efficiency of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements in plants can be improved, thereby enhancing crop yield and quality. In addition, polyaspartic acid can improve soil quality and promote soil health.

In the field of biomedicine:

Polyaspartic acid also has potential applications in the biomedical field. For example, it can react with crosslinking agents to further synthesize super absorbent agents, which are easily degradable and the degradation products are environmentally friendly, suitable for the requirements of high absorbent resins such as sanitary products. In addition, polyaspartic acid can also be used as a drug carrier to encapsulate anti-tumor drugs and other drug components, achieving stable drug delivery and release.

Other fields:

Polyaspartic acid can also be used in various fields such as cleaning agents, drilling fluid viscosity reducers, coal water slurry dispersants, etc. Its safe, non-toxic, and non irritating properties make it widely applicable in daily chemical products. Meanwhile, polyaspartic acid can also be used as a dispersant in the papermaking, printing and dyeing, and washing industries, as well as a functional ingredient in cosmetics and health products.

In summary, polyaspartic acid has broad application prospects in multiple fields due to its excellent biodegradability, chemical stability, and multifunctionality. With the continuous advancement of technology and the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the application fields of polyaspartic acid will continue to expand and deepen.
