Large Polymer Water Gel Crystals for Feeder Insects and more!

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.
