Description

The absorbent structure of band gellant and the absorbing products that contains this structure
Vast expanse of whiteness relates to the fibrous reticular structure that is applicable to the body fluid that absorbs discharge, also relates to the absorbability latex agent composition that is specially adapted to this class formation.This structure can be incorporated into disposable absorbing products, such as sanitary towel, and baby diaper, adult's fecal incontinence pad etc.
By the coma that twines is that the absorbent structure that fleece constitutes is known in prior art.This structure promptly can be passed through absorption mechanism (at this moment, self has absorbed liquid fibrous material) and also can absorb the liquid such as the body fluid of discharging by wicking mechanism (at this moment, liquid is disperseed and is stored in the space between the fiber).A kind of method of improving the absorbent properties of this fiber net structure is to introduce so-called super-absorbent polymer therein, and it absorbs liquid and forms swollen hydrogel material.The hydrogel that generates can keep the liquid of body fluid of picture discharge and so in its structure.This class absorbent structure of introducing the formation hydrogel material with given shape (comprising fibrous) in fleece is disclosed in the United States Patent (USP) 4,610,678 of Weisman that JIUYUE in 1986 was published on the 9th and Goldman.
Granularity and the structural form granulous, that form the polymer (being gellant) of hydrogel that join in the absorbent structure can change in wide range.For example, above-cited United States Patent (USP) 4,610,678 points out that the particulate granularity of gellant that joins in this absorbent structure can be from about 30 microns to about 4 millimeters.Yet, in the business practice of reality, the gellant granule that in the absorbent cores of disposable diaper, uses, often be irregular, but its structural form is not very elongated, granularity is from about 45 microns to about 850 microns, and its median granularity of quality is from about 200 microns to 370 microns.For industrial hygiene and the consideration that is easy to make, generally select the granule of this shape and granularity for use.
Some gellant material that can buy is further manufactured the granule that is made of more short grained agglomerate, because in the process of and packaging operation synthetic at gellant, bigger agglomerate ratio is easier to dispose.But, it is believed that in the process of the disposable absorbent article that this agglomerate is joined manufacturing in industrial operation and in the process of this goods of later use, it has fragmentation to a certain degree.Therefore, in fact, the graininess gellant that is contained as this series products of diaper is perhaps than providing the gellant agglomerate that is used for making diaper smaller slightly with raw material form originally.
The gellant granule that no matter is used in the known absorption structure has which type of granularity and shape, and the general gellant all chemical fibre component than the essential part that constitutes structure is more expensive.Therefore, often to handle dexterously with adjusting being used for making material, structural form and the method for this absorbent structure, in order that make effective absorbability of the gellant material of using in the absorbability of absorbent structure and this structure reach maximum.In this way, the gellant of minimum can be used, and the absorbent properties target of expecting can be realized simultaneously.This so can make the production cost of absorbent structure reach minimum.
If in fact constantly need to improve the absorbent properties of absorbent structure, so, target of the present invention just provides the structural form of a class absorbent structure, and the effective capacity of the absorbability of its structure and gellant wherein can both be improved.
Another target of the present invention be by the particle size distribution of regulating and control the gellant material of using in the absorbent structure simply absorbability and gellant efficiency improvement are provided this class absorbent structure.
Another target of the present invention provides a kind of latex agent composition, and the particle property of said composition is controlled and is particularly suitable for to join in this class absorbent structure.
Another target of the present invention provides such as diaper, the physical training disposable absorbent article with trousers, fecal incontinence liner, sanitary towel etc., and these goods have used this class to have the absorbent structure that has improved absorbent properties to absorb core as it.
In one embodiment of the invention, stipulated to be applicable to the concrete pattern of the absorbent structure of disposable absorbent article.This class formation comprises by about 40~95%(weight) water-absorption fiber structure and about 5~60%(weight) non-fiber, the net that polymer gel agent non-brittle, that can form hydrogel constitutes together.The balanced gel amount of this polymer gel agent equals the synthetic urine of about 20 grams of every gram gellant at least.And these gellant granules have such particle size distribution, so that its median granularity of quality is about 400~1680 microns.No more than about 16%(weight preferably should be arranged) its granularity of granule less than 200 microns, and no more than about 16%(weight should be arranged) granule, its granularity is greater than 1410 microns.Gellant granule self is dispersed in the middle of the hydrophilic fibers that constitutes net fully.The mesh structure that obtains has about 0.06~0.3 gram per centimeter 3Density range.
In another example of the present invention, pointed out to be specially adapted to the absorbability latex agent composition of the netted structure of fibrous absorbability.This compositions comprises many non-fibrous, non-brittle gellant material granules, wherein, these many granules have with join aforementioned absorbent structure in the identical particle property of granule.Be used for forming the particulate gellant material of this class and comprise about 50~99.999%(mole) polymeric, the monomer and the about 0.001~5%(mole that contain undersaturated polymerizable acidic group) cross-linking agent.This its degree of neutralization is at least about 50% by the neutral gellant material of part, and gel content is at least the synthetic urine of about 20 grams of every gram gellant material.
In another example of the present invention, pointed out to have improved the absorbing products of absorbent properties.These goods include the liquid-tight backing of one deck, the plane materiel of one deck transflective liquid and the absorbent cores between backing and plane materiel.Absorb the netted structure of absorbability that core includes a kind of type as hereinbefore.
The accompanying drawing that provides has later been represented the cutaway view of disposable diaper, and this is a kind of version of using on a selective basis for absorbing products.
Absorbent structure of the present invention is net or felted thing, and they comprise fibrous and non-fibrous component, and latex agent composition of the present invention then only contains non-fibrous component.For purpose of the present invention, " fiber " and " fibrous " these two terms refer to the custom design of " specific " material, and the draw ratio of this certain material is approximately greater than 10.In contrast, " non-fibrous " granule is meant that its draw ratio is similar to or less than 10 material.
In first of one examples of series, the present invention relates to comprise the absorbent structure of the fiber mesh material of the non-fibrous particle that contains the absorbability gellant material.The key component of the netted structure of these absorbabilitys comprises hydrophilic fibrous material.For purpose of the present invention, if the body fluid of water or aqueous be easy to be distributed on the surface of fiber (and do not consider fiber in fact whether the absorption liquid body or do not form gel), then fiber is " hydrophilic ".Used hydrophilic fibers average diameter is about 1~200 micron.The average diameter of these hydrophilic fibers is preferably about 10~100 microns.In fact, all join the hydrophilic fibers in this class formation, and the fibre length that is at least 1 millimeter is preferably arranged.
Kind for the hydrophilic fibers material that uses in this class formation of the present invention is not vital.The hydrophilic fibers of any kind of that is suitable in habitual absorbent products also is applicable in herein the absorbent structure.The example of hydrophilic fibers material comprises cellulose, modified cellulose, artificial silk, polyester (as polyethylene terephthalate (DACRON)), hydrophilic nylon (HYDROFIL) etc.
The hydrophilic fibers that is suitable for also comprises the hydrophobic fiber that carried out hydrophilicity-imparting treatment with hydrophilizing agent.This fibrid comprises the thermoplastic fibre through surfactant processing or white carbon processing that is for example made by polyolefin (as polyethylene or polypropylene), polyacrylic acid, polyamide, polystyrene, polyurethane etc.In fact, the hydrophobic fiber of hydrophilicity-imparting treatment, himself water absorption is not good, when therefore in traditional absorbent structure, using, can not provide enough absorbabilities to net, but because its wicking properties is good, and be applicable in the absorbent structure of the present invention.This is because in the structure herein, the wicking properties of fiber is much more important than the absorbability of fibrous material self.
Because the reason on availability and the price generally preferentially selects for use cellulose fibre as cancellated hydrophilic fibers component here.Wood pulp cellulose preferably.
Perhaps be the cellulose fibre that useful especially other cellulosic fibre material has starching, twisting and curls in some absorbent structure herein, its available cross-linking agent makes cellulose fibre crosslinked and make in taking place.For example, at the United States Patent (USP) 3,224,926 of the nineteen sixty-five Berna-rdin that announces of December 21 days; The United States Patent (USP) 3,241,553 of the Steiger that on March 22nd, 1966 announced; The United States Patent (USP) 3,440,135 of the Chung that on April 22nd, 1969 announced; The United States Patent (USP) 3,658,613 of the Steiger that on April 26th, 1972 announced; All disclose this universal fiber in the people's such as Sangenis of the United States Patent (USP) announcement on July 12nd, 3,932,209 and 1977 of the Chatterjee that on January 13rd, 1976 announced the United States Patent (USP) 4,035,147, all these patents all are incorporated herein by reference at this.
The starching, twisting, the curling cellulose fibre that are used as a kind of good especially type of hydrophilic fibers component herein in the netted structure of absorbability comprise with for example C 2~C 8Dialdehyde carry out internally crosslinked cellulose fibre, though this fibrid is in the state of relative dehydration.Can be according to amount of twist (at least 4.5 sth. made by twisting joints of every millimeter dried fiber of its dried fiber and wet fiber, when humidity at least every millimeter to lack 0.5 and twist with the fingers joint, when moist preferably every millimeter have an appointment at least 3.0 twist with the fingers joint) and according to its fluid retention characteristic (on average the isopropyl alcohol hold-up is less than 30%; Average hydropexis amount is 28~50%) determine this fibrid.In european patent application of announcing on January 7th, 1,988 251,676 and the european patent application of announcing on January 13rd, 1,988 252,650 this starching, twisting, curling cellulose fibre there is more detailed narration.The patent application of these two parts of announcements all is with the name application of Procter Gamb-le company, and all is hereby incorporated by.
The hydrophilic fibers component of this structure generally accounts for about 40~95%(weight of this structure herein), be more preferably about 60~95%(weight).The hydrophilic fibers component preferably accounts for about 70~90%(weight of this construction weight).This ratio of hydrophilic fibers material has comprised the weight (if therein use) of hydrophiling auxiliary agent.
Here second of this absorbent structure kind of key component comprises the granule of dispersive, non-fibrous, non-brittle particular types polymer gel agent.This base polymer gellant is such some materials, when the fluid (being liquid) of it and water or body fluid and so on when contacting, can absorb this class fluid and forms hydrogel.By this way, the granule of polymer gel agent can receive and maintain the fluid that enters this absorbent structure, absorbability and/or the improved fluid retention performance strengthened is provided just for thus this structure.
It is polymeric material water-fast, lightly crosslinked, the neutral formation hydrogel of part substantially that used polymer gel agent granule generally comprises a kind of.This base polymer material can be by polymerisable, undersaturated, as to contain acidic group monomer preparation.Such as, this class monomer comprises alkene class unsaturated acids and the anhydride that contains at least one carbon-to-carbon alkene double bond.More particularly, this class monomer can be selected from alkene class unsaturated carboxylic acid and anhydride, alkene class unsaturated sulfonic acid and their mixture.When polymerization, this class monomeric unit will account for about 50~99.999%(mole of gellant material), preferably about 75~99.99%(mole).
The suitable unsaturated acid monomer that is used for preparing the used polymer gel agent of the present invention comprises the people's such as Brandt/Goldman/Inglin that on March 31st, 1987 announced United States Patent (USP) 4,654, its of application on June 10th, 039 and 1987 permitted published application book 060 again, listed material in 718, these two pieces all are incorporated herein by reference at this.The monomer of using on a selective basis comprises acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid.Acrylic acid itself is particularly useful for making the polymer gel agent material.
In the polymer gel agent that forms hydrogel, the polymers compositions that is made by undersaturated acidiferous monomer can be grafted on the polymer chain of other kind, on starch or cellulose.It also is good especially that this acrylic acid-grafted starch material is used for herein.
The polymer gel agent of preferentially selecting for use that can prepare from the monomer of customary type comprises acryionitrile grafted starch, the acrylic acid grafted starch of hydrolysis, polyacrylate, copolymer-maleic anhydride and their compositions.Good especially is polyacrylate and acrylic acid-grafted starch.
Regardless of the essence of the main polymers compositions of the polymer gel agent of formation hydrogel used in the absorbent structure here, this class material generally will be lightly crosslinked.Crosslinkedly make that the polymer gel agent of used in the present invention formation hydrogel is water insoluble basically, therefore, the crosslinked gel content that has just partly determined the hydrogel that generates by used polymer gel agent and can extractive polymer property.The cross-linking agent that is suitable for is known in prior art, and it for example comprises detailed disclosed material in the people's such as Masuda that announce on February 28th, 1978 the United States Patent (USP) 4,076,663, and this patent is hereby incorporated by.The cross-linking agent of preferentially selecting for use is the diester or the polyester of unsaturated monocarboxylic or polycarboxylic acid and polyhydric alcohol, bisacrylamide and diallylamine or triallylamine.Good especially cross-linking agent is N, the triacrylate of N '-methylene-bisacrylamide, trimethylolpropane and triallylamine.General cross-linking agent can contain about 0.001~5%(mole of the formation aquogel polymer material of gained).Be more preferably, content of crosslinking agent is about 0.01~3%(mole of the polymer gel agent of used here formation hydrogel).
Operable polymer gel agent lightly crosslinked, that form hydrogel is generally used with the neutral form of part in these structures of the present invention.Be purpose of the present invention, when having the 25%(mole at least), preferably have the 50%(mole at least) the monomer that is used for forming polymer be when containing the acidic group monomer, can think that this class material is that part is neutral with salt-forming cation is neutral.The salt-forming cation that is suitable for comprises alkali metal, ammonium, replacement ammonium and amine.The monomeric percent of acidic group that contains that is neutralized in the used total monomer is considered to " degree of neutralization " here.Degree of neutralization preferably is no more than 98%.
Used polymer gel agent material must have the fluidic ability that is absorbed in the absorbent structure to be run into than higher in this absorbent structure.The absorbability of this class material can be come quantitatively by " gel volume " of the selected polymer gel agent of the present invention.
For the purposes of the present invention, can use the amount of the synthetic urine that is absorbed by any given polymer gel agent to define gel volume, and specification turn to the gram number of the synthetic urine of every gram polymer gel agent absorption.Can measure the gel volume of representing with synthetic urine by the suspension that about 0.1~0.2 part of dry polymeric gellant to be measured and about 20 parts of synthetic urine are made.With this suspension at room temperature, under demulcent stirring, keep time enough,, make to reach swelling equilibrium such as about 1 hour.Calculate the gel volume that the synthetic urine that absorbs with every gram polymer gel agent restrains the polymer gel agent that numerical table shows with the method that more is described in detail in one joint of method of testing in the back according to the weight fraction of polymer gel agent in the suspension with by the ratio of the liquid volume of discharging in the hydrogel that forms and the cumulative volume of suspension then.
These structures of the present invention particularly will be used in diaper, adult's fecal incontinence liner or physical training with those structures in the trousers, generally will use gel volume to be at least about those polymer gel agent of the synthetic urine/gram polymer gel agent of 20 grams.When by cellulose fibre (as wood pulp cellulose) when constituting this structure, be expected the polymer gel agent of using gel volume higher, that is to say that gel volume is between the synthetic urine/gram gellant of about 25~60 grams.
The structure that constitutes by the cellulosic fibre material of some kind (starching, twisting and the curling cellulose fibre narrated such as the front).If use the low slightly gellant of gel volume, when absorption fluids, in fact may be more efficiently so.The general lower gellant of gel volume tends to form the general higher hydrogel (United States Patent (USP) 4 that intensity is quoted by the front of gel strength, 654,039 and the method narrated in the published application 060,718 again of the U.S., come quantification with the hydrogel modulus of shearing).Therefore, in the structure herein, hydrophilic fibers is starching, twisting, curling cellulose fibre, preferably can use the polymer gel agent of the synthetic urine/gram gellant of about 20~35 grams of gel volume.
But another feature of useful especially polymerization gellant is related to the extracting polymer content that exists in the absorbent structure herein in the material of this formation hydrogel.Can be by allowing the sample of the polymer gel agent material that forms hydrogel contact the one sufficiently long period (for example at least 16 hours) and make it to reach extraction equilibrium with the synthetic solution of urinating, filter out the hydrogel of formation then from the supernatant, measuring at last in the filtrate that the content of polymer measures can extractive polymer content.In aforesaid United States Patent (USP) 4,654,039 and U.S. published application 060 again, but also stated the concrete grammar of measuring extracting polymer content in the polymer gel agent of using herein in 718.Useful especially polymer gel agent material in the structure herein, but its no more than polymer gel agent of balance extracting content weight in synthetic urine about 17%, preferably no more than about 10%
A basic feature of the present invention is to use non-fibrous, the non-brittle above-mentioned polymer gel agent granule with certain particle size characteristic in herein the structure.Particularly, have been found that the polymer gel agent when generally being added in this class absorbent structure greater than the particulate form of habitually practise so far, can realize in the ability of absorbent structure and the absorbent structure there being the ability of effective gellant and exceed unexpected improvement.In general, supplying with the bigger gellant particle requirement of this granularity uses one or more to eliminate or minimizing and hydrophilic fibers are introduced in the manufacturing or the process technology of less, the thinner gellant amounts of particles in this absorbent structure simultaneously.The upper limit to the gellant granularity has also been made regulation, because the granularity of too big gellant sees it is undesirable from the aesthetic standard of consumer.
Particularly, the present invention requires to use the median granularity of quality through selecting in this absorbent structure, and the polymer gel agent of certain particle deviation is preferably arranged with median granularity of quality.Be purpose of the present invention, granularity is defined as the particulate size of gellant by sieve analysis mensuration.For example, say in principle, being the granule that stays on 710 microns the sieve is considered to have the granularity greater than 710 microns at sieve aperture, is that to stay sieve aperture be that granule on 500 microns the sieve is considered to have 500~710 microns granularity to have passed through sieve aperture be that the granule of 500 tm screen is considered to its granularity less than 500 microns for 710 microns sieve and passed through sieve aperture.
Have again, be purpose of the present invention, given sample or a large amount of particulate median granularity of quality of gellant are defined as sample or the granularity when gellant is divided into equal two parts by quality in a large number, in other words, the granularity that the sample of half weight or gellant are arranged is greater than median granularity of quality, second half then granularity less than median granularity of quality.For example, be that then the median granularity of quality of gellant particle sample is 500 microns on 500 microns the sieve if there is the sample of half weight to stay sieve aperture.The general granularity standardizition that adopts a kind of standard (will stay on probability paper or the cumulative percentage of the particle sample by given sieve aperture is mapped to screen size) comes the quality measurement median particle, at this moment, 50% mass value is not equivalent to the screen size of Unite States Standard testing sieve.This class figure also is commonly used to be determined near the particle size distribution of mass median.
The polymer gel agent granule that uses in absorbent structure of the present invention must have from about 400~1680 microns median granularity of quality.The scope of the median granularity of quality that this class granule is preferentially selected for use is about 400~1190 microns, and no more than about 16%(weight is arranged simultaneously) this class gellant granule have granularity and no more than about 16%(weight less than 200 microns) this class granule have granularity greater than 1410 microns.The median granularity of quality scope that gellant granule of the present invention is more preferentially selected for use is about 400~700 microns, and no more than about 16%(weight arranged simultaneously) this class gellant granule have granularity less than 200 microns, no more than about 16%(weight) this class granule have granularity greater than 1200 microns.Better again situation is, the gellant granule that uses in this structure has about 410~650 microns median granularity of quality, no more than about 16%(weight is arranged simultaneously) the particulate granularity of this class less than 210 microns, no more than about 16%(weight) the particulate granularity of this class greater than 1000 microns.Best situation is that the particulate median granularity of quality of gellant is about 420~600 microns, and no more than about 16%(weight is arranged simultaneously) grain graininess less than 220 microns, no more than about 16%(weight is arranged) grain graininess greater than 900 microns.
In aforesaid qualification, can further determine the particulate particle property according to qualifications of the gellant that uses herein by means of the standard sieve analysis to median granularity of quality and particle size distribution.Use typical sieve analysis,, measure and stay or/and pass through the percetage by weight of the sample of each sieve with the sieve that sample perhaps many gellant granule order is successively decreased by one group of screen size.For example american society for testing and materials (ASTM) has determined to carry out the standard method of this sieve analysis.A kind of such method has been used Ro-Tap test sieve shaker (manufacturing of W.S.Tyler company) and bushing screen (trade mark is U.S.Sieve Series or Tyler Stand-ard Sieve Series).To with the particulate particle size distribution of this technical measurement very detailed narration being arranged, this book is hereby incorporated by reference document at 21-13 to the 21-19 page or leaf of Perry ' s Chemical Engine-ers ' Handbook the 6th edition (McGraW-Hill books company 1984 publish).
To the gellant sample that the present invention uses on a selective basis and more uses on a selective basis, quote as follows with the particle size distribution characteristics that typical 5 sieve ASTM standard analytical processes are measured:

The process technology of using when making gellant by being controlled at can make it to reach or approaching required particle size distribution by telomerized polymer gellant granule.This often comprises polymerization, drying, cutting, grinding and/or the coalescent condition that changes and monitor gellant.How no matter make,, just need carry out the further processing as sieving, make the grain fraction of gellant drop on that part of granule outside the particle size distribution of aforementioned requirement to remove the meeting that may exist in case made the granule of gellant.Want to make the big granule of those granules that the gellant polymerization-drying-cutting technique than common employing is made, a best techniques is to make smaller particles be agglomerated into bigger agglomerate.Therefore can use coalescence technology to improve the particulate median granularity of quality of gellant, the granule that is in coalescent form that is applicable to this structure so also just is provided.In prior art, coalescence technology is known, and it can comprise also can be not included in the coalescing medium that uses the moisture content additive in the less gellant granule or use binding agent or other type.
No matter whether the gellant granule that uses in this absorbing structure be coalescent form, all should be non-brittle.Be purpose of the present invention, if a kind of granule, its degree of stability is enough to resist the power that run into and not broken and be split into granule than small component excessively in habitual absorbent structure manufacturing and/or use, so this granule is exactly non-brittle.This means that gellant granule of the present invention should be stabilized to and be enough to not be broken into more short grained degree, promptly can not allow the particles coalesce body that obtains fall before the swelling outside the granularity limited range of front defined.
The amount that joins the satisfactory polymer gel agent of particle size distribution in the absorbent web structure of the present invention is equivalent to about 5~60% of this construction weight.If being less than about 5% ability that this structure will be kept by the aqueous body fluid that structure absorbed, the gelling dosage that uses diminishes.And gelatinization agents content is higher than such as about 60%(weight) more than, even be higher than about 40%(weight) time, it is believed that the predictive role that uses general bigger gellant granule to improve absorbability and effective gellant ability will reduce.Therefore, the best about 10~40%(weight of absorbent structure for this reason of gellant granule).
Except the hydrophilic fibers and polymer gel agent component of necessity, this absorbent structure also can comprise various optional materials.For example, this optional material can comprise fluid distribution auxiliary agent, antimicrobial, PH regulator, spice etc.If there are these optional components to exist, about 30%(weight of general no more than the structure of its content).
Can use any providing to form the method for net or technology manufacturing by fiber and non-fibrous gellant grains of composition and contain the hydrophilic fibers that is necessary and this absorbent structure of polymer gel agent granule component.In a kind of like this fiber/particle compositions, the gellant granule should fully be dispersed between the hydrophilic fibers that forms net.For the purposes of the present invention, if there is no one gellant granule only is to be in contact with one another and so tangible situation that do not contact with perhaps many hydrophilic fibers to each other, and so, the gellant granule is exactly that " fully disperseing " is between hydrophilic fibers.This preferably means, do not have in this absorbent structure any zone or position (for example 1 cubic centimetre or bigger zone or position) content of gellant therein surpasses 60% limit of front defined.
In this netted structure, polymer gel agent granule must be fully decentralized, but its distribution can be also can be uneven uniformly.Particularly, in this cancellated some position or zone, the content of gellant can be higher than other positions or the zone of this structure.In a such example, at the Concentraton gradient that can exist gellant along this thickness of structure dimensional directions, accepting fluidic body structure surface or close surface, the concentration of gel is minimum, and in the opposite one side of thickness direction or near this place, the concentration of gellant is the highest.
Aspect the absorbent properties of the absorbing products that determines this structure and this structure of use, the density of this absorbent structure has certain importance.The density of this absorbent structure is generally about 0.06~0.3 gram per centimeter 3, more preferably about 0.09~about 0.22 gram per centimeter 3The typical unit weight of this absorbent structure is about 0.02~0.12 gram per centimeter 2
The density value of this structure can be calculated by unit weight and slide calliper rule.Under the qualification pressure of 0.137 pound/square inch (0.94 kPa), carry out kind of calliper.Density and unit weighs value have comprised the weight that forms hydrogel particle.In the scope of total, it is uniform that the density of this structure need not.In the density range of defined, structure of the present invention can contain higher relatively and relatively low position or the zone of density of density in front.
Can apply the shop method by air-flow the mixture of hydrophilic fibers and the particulate substantially dry of polymer gel agent is made absorbent structure of the present invention, as if wishing or need that the net that makes can carry out compacting.In the United States Patent (USP) 4,610,678 of Weisman that JIUYUE in 1986 was announced on the 9th and Goldman the method is had explanation more fully, this patent is hereby incorporated by reference document.
As United States Patent (USP) 4,610,678 is pointed, and the air-flow that makes of the method net that applies the shop preferably includes not agglutinating substantially fiber thus, and preferably its water content is equal to or less than 10%.Applying shop or any other traditional method with air-flow when making net of the present invention, should careful disposal and carry this polymer gel agent granule, become smaller particles to avoid these grain breakages.When the gellant granule is in coalescent state, when agglomerate is perhaps more crisp than non-coalescent granule, more want so.If among cancellated manufacturing or after making, dispose the gellant granule curtly, agglomerate for example, so, perhaps the granule (even this granule is " non-brittle ") that in fact adds in this structure can no longer have the desired particle size distribution characteristics of aforementioned regulation.
In another example of the present invention, the present invention relates to itself to be particularly suitable for being added in the netted structure of fibrous absorbability latex agent composition as absorbent.This compositions comprises the granule of many non-fibrous non-brittle polymer gel agent materials.What gellant material itself and front were described in detail is same type.These many gellant granules also have with propose in front for the identical particle property of gellant granule that joins in the absorbent structure example of the present invention.
