Powder and water can make snow? Why was snow-making technology blocked by the West and took five years to break through?
In 2019, a netizen posted a video on social media platforms: a small handful of white powder, when pouring water over it, the powder rapidly expanded and formed a cool white flurry that looked like snow.
But why did it take five years of research when it seems so “easy” to make snow artificially, and you can do it yourself at home?
This “snow” is not the other snow
In fact, the white fluff we see in the picture above is not snow, but a chemical called sodium polyacrylate.
Its ability to absorb water is very strong, after absorbing water will expand, into a product shaped like snow, this material is more often used in photo booths to decorate the photo with, there are also businesses will be made into children's toys.
So, with sodium polyacrylate as the material “artificial snow” in the end harmful to the body?
For “artificial snow” powder, it is likely that the purity of the industrial-grade sodium polyacrylate is not very high production, there will be some residual acidic or alkaline substances, with a certain degree of corrosiveness.
And, this material to temperature up to 350 degrees or so, to degrade, and absorbent capacity is very strong, can absorb more than their own weight 1000 times the water, after the use of large doses, can not be arbitrarily discarded, and more can not be poured into the toilet, the river ditch, otherwise, may cause environmental pollution!
What kind of products should we use to replace this unsafe and environmentally friendly “artificial snow”?
“Decorsnow Biodegradable snow powder”
Will biodegradable snow powder be the same as “artificial snow”?
Decorsnow Biodegradable snow powder is a fine particulate matter extracted from snow and produced by specific microorganisms through fermentation, and its main components include inorganic salts, organic matter, and so on.
Very environmentally friendly, can be degraded, does not pollute the environment, can also be easily disposed of. Natural raw materials, non-corrosive, safe for children to touch.
Properties of biodegradable snow powder:
1.How to use snow powder correctly?
2. Is snow powder suitable for all types of surfaces?
3. How to store the powder to keep it active?
