There are close to 2 million 
			metric tons of super absorbent polymers made
			
			
			annually in the world.
			Most of this volume is used in the personal care markets and in 
			finished goods such as disposable baby diapers, feminine care and 
			adult incontinence products.
			
		Only a very small portion of this total volume is used in the 
		specialized markets 
		that
			`WaterGel Crystals' (WGc) serves.
