Superabsorbent gel beads

[kmcl11]

Wow. Not one person here named the substance. Shame on you. It's silica.

[blink625]

What are these? Where can you buy these? Are these good for gardening?

[Spivias]

@blink625 they are usually sold as fake snow

also if you rip open baby's diaper

you will find these stuff in them

[sosolidruby30]

@blink625 yeah it's safe , it's used on gardening a lot.

It's also called polysorb,slang term as polymer+absorb=polysorb

[lollol336]

Why the fuck does it do that? How do you make it turn into snow, i have some too and mine always jells... is it the size of the particles?

[cutiegirls4ever]

i have some crystal thingys i left them over night and one is huge!!

[amauruss]

The "beads" are actually Sodium Polyacrylate which is a super absorber which is extremely hydrophilic.

You litteraly just spoiled the 'fun' It should go fluffy like snow. But nooooo... You had to keep on pouring the damn water to stop the cool effect...

If you leave them like that overnight, they grow like 5x their original size.

Erm, they're not absorbent, they're adsorbent. That's quite a difference.
