Yes, it is the same material used in children’s diapers. It can last for days as long as it is kept out of heat and direct sunlight.

When water is added to this white powder polymer, it instantly expands to 200 times its original volume, producing a snow-like material. When more water is added, a slush forms. When allowed to dry, it returns to its powdered form ready to be used again.

  • 100% Re-Usable: After making snow you can keep it outside until the water dries in couple of days and use again
How it works?

Chemtex Artificial Snow Powder is made of cross-linking molecules of sodium polyacrylate polymer. These small individual cross-linked clusters appear as a white powdery substance. With water, these individual clusters internally hydrate and expand, forming small, fluffy clusters that do not cling to its surrounding clusters. This appears as a powdery snow. When more water is added, the water molecules also hydrate the external surface of these clusters which begin to adhere to one another, appearing as slush.

Water Retaining Agent

Sodium polyacrylate based superabsorbent polymer manufactured by Chemtex Speciality Limited manifests water absorbing capacity up to 400 times of its own weight. The absorbing ability of Sodium Polyacrylate is because of the presence of anionic charged chains that helps in combining water molecules, forming ‘Water Locks’ or gels. These ‘gel’ retains moisture for a considerable period of time.

The unique properties of this snow make it useful for many other applications, such as an artificial base for skiers, snow themes on movie sets and pandals. Because of its ability to rapidly absorb and retain large volumes of aqueous solutions, and forming gels, it is also used for industrial spill containment. When wet, this polymer has the consistency of snow, adheres well to boots, and is very slippery.
