| abstract |
The invention concerns water-absorbing polymers for producing fire-retarding compositions, comprising at least one interpolymerized ethylenically unsaturated monomer bearing acid groups, wherein from 51 to 64 mol % of the acid groups are present as carboxylate groups and some or all of the carboxylate groups have potassium ions as counterions, processes for producing the water-absorbing polymers and also the production of fire-retarding compositions and coatings. |
