    Description

    Water gel crystals, also known as water jelly crystals and superabsorbent polymer, are able to absorb up to 400 times their weight in water. Place 1 teaspoon (4g) of these small 2-4mm crystals in a quart of water, let it sit overnight, pour off the excess water and you will have over 2 cups of beautiful, large 1-2" jelly-like clear crystals. By adding food coloring to the water, you can change the color of your water gel crystals! You get a 3 oz. package of 2-4mm crystals which is enough to make about 10.5 gallons of fully hydrated water gel crystals.  They are useful to provide a clean water source for pet reptiles,  insects and other fun hobbies.
    These water gel crystals are a cross-linked acrylamide and potassium polyacrylate co-polymer. It is non-toxic but should be handled carefully as with all chemicals. Use water gel crystals carefully once contacted with water as they are extremely slippery. For best results use distilled water.
