These large grain Super Absorbent Polymer water crystals hold about 400-times their weight in water and can be sewn into neck cooler ties, headbands and cooling vests. Their capacity to cool helps you beat the heat!
Follow these instructions to make your very own Cool Ties using our Super Absorbent Polymer.
Cool Tie Super Absorbent Polymer Water Crystals:
The Cool Tie Water Crystals are available in three sizes (S=Small, M=Medium and L=Large).
- Type S = 200 to 800 microns
- Type M = 800 to 2000 microns (or 2 mm)
- Type L = 2 to 4 millimeters
BEAT THE HEAT & CHILL OUT with an attractive Cool Tie Scarf!
These neck cooler water crystal scarves are an easy, fast project made from readily available materials. They make great gifts, school projects and give-aways. Let your imagination and creativity run wild with fabric patterns and colors!
The Cool Tie Water Crystals are nontoxic polyacrylamide granules of super absorbent polymer available from M² Polymer Technologies. These same water absorbing crystals are used to conserve water and nurture plants in arid conditions. They are concealed in the casing of a cotton neck scarf. When the scarf is soaked in water, the crystals absorb the water, expand, and turn into a crystalline gel. The cotton fabric absorbs water from the gel, and then the water slowly evaporates for a cooling effect. Scarves stay cool and moist for hours due to the polymer’s water-retaining properties and the slower evaporation rate than plain water alone.
