Step 1
Material Review
We look at a representative sample, how your operation runs and the result you need: free liquid, solids content, pH, conductivity and any known additives or contaminants.

View ProductOUR PROCESS
No two materials behave the same way. Salinity, pH, solids content, additives and mixing can all change how a polymer performs. So we test your material, screen the grades that suit it and build a treatment method around how your operation actually runs.
Step 2
Product and Dose Testing
We screen suitable grades on your material to set a starting application rate and check absorption speed, gel strength and final consistency.
Step 3
Application Method
We recommend where and how to add and mix the product, working with the tanks, bins, conveyors, excavators, dosing equipment or production process you already have.
Step 4
Technical Documentation
Selected grades come with the relevant Technical Data Sheet, Safety Data Sheet and batch Certificate of Analysis. Safety Data Sheets for Australian customers are prepared in line with the GHS-based Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations. We can also write up test results and recommended application rates for your review.
Step 5
Supply and Ongoing Support
AuraChem is based in Melbourne, Victoria. Products are stocked locally in Australia and supplied country wide. Collect from our warehouse or we can deliver to you. Packaging options include 15 kg pails, 20 kg and 25 kg bags, and 750 kg and 800 kg bulk bags. Available packaging varies by product. If your material, moisture levels or operating requirements change, we can test again and adjust the recommendation.
About AuraChem
Local Stock. Experienced Support.
AuraChem is an independently owned Australian super absorbent polymer supplier specialising in sodium polyacrylate and liquid waste solidification polymers. Based in Melbourne, we stock selected products locally in Australia for bulk and wholesale supply. We are wholesalers, supply country wide for collection or delivery, and can offer factory pricing on large volumes.
Our founders bring 40 years of combined experience across industrial chemicals, construction and infrastructure, mining, wastewater and waste management. We put that experience to work testing your material, choosing the grade, advising on application and keeping local supply reliable.
We set up AuraChem to make specialised absorbents easier to trial, buy and put to work in Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about superabsorbent polymers, product selection, testing and supply.
What is a superabsorbent polymer?
A superabsorbent polymer (SAP) soaks up liquid and holds it as a gel. Industrial grades are used to control free liquid in sludge, slurry and other high-moisture materials.
Which product and dose rate should I use?
It depends on the liquid chemistry, moisture content, solids, additives, mixing conditions and the result you need. Send us a representative sample and we can test it and recommend a starting product and dose.
Will SAP work in salty or chemically complex liquids?
Salinity, pH and dissolved chemicals can all affect how SAP performs. That is why we screen grades on your actual material instead of relying on clean-water absorption figures.
How do you add SAP to liquid waste?
It can go into tanks, bins and skips, onto conveyors or into another mixing process. Where you add it, how you mix it and how long it needs depend on the material, your equipment and how quickly it has to be treated.
Does solidifying waste change its classification?
Solidification improves how a waste stream handles, but it does not automatically change its regulatory classification. Transport, disposal and receiving-facility requirements should still be confirmed for the treated material.
Do you hold stock in Australia?
Yes. AuraChem is based in Melbourne, Victoria, with products stocked locally across Australia. We supply country wide, for collection from the warehouse or delivery. Packaging options include 15 kg pails, 20 kg and 25 kg bags, and 750 kg and 800 kg bulk bags. Available packaging varies by product.
Can I buy super absorbent polymer in bulk?
Yes. AuraChem supplies bulk super absorbent polymer and sodium polyacrylate in 20 kg and 25 kg bags and 750 kg and 800 kg bulk bags, with trial quantities available first. Send us your volumes for wholesale pricing.
Not Sure Which Product Suits Your Material?
Tell us about the liquid, sludge or slurry you are dealing with, or what you need for manufacturing. We will look at the material, suggest products worth testing and tell you what to do next.
