Petition Summary: Superabsorbent Polymers From Korea

On November 2, 2021, the Ad Hoc Coalition of American SAP Producers ("Petitioner"), filed a petition for the imposition of antidumping duties on imports of superabsorbent polymers from Korea.

SCOPE OF THE INVESTIGATION

The merchandise covered by this order is superabsorbent polymers ("SAP"), insoluble in water, which result from a polymerization of primarily acrylic acid monomer molecules (or its sodium salts) with crosslinkers to form crosslinked polymer networks, with a high capacity to absorb and retain water and aqueous liquids, originating from the Republic of Korea.

All forms and sizes of SAP, regardless of packaging type, including but not limited to granules, pellets, powder, flakes, liquid, or gel are within the scope of this order.
