Description
a)第1の質量平均粒径を有する超吸収性ポリマー粒子を提供する工程と、
b)超吸収性ポリマー粒子を、水と原子価が3価以上である多価塩とを含む溶液と混合する工程と、を含む方法によって得られる。
「吸収性物品」とは、身体排出物、具体的には尿及びその他の水を含有する液体を吸収しかつ封じ込めるデバイスを指し、より具体的には、身体から排出される種々の排出物を吸収しかつ封じ込めるために、着用者の身体に接して、又はその近傍に配置されるデバイスを指す。吸収性物品としては、おむつ(乳幼児用おむつ及び成人失禁用おむつ)、パンツ、生理用ナプキン若しくはパンティーライナーなどの婦人用保護吸収性物品、胸当て、介護用マット、よだれ掛け、拭き取り布、並びに同様のものを挙げることができる。本明細書で使用する時、用語「滲出物」は、限定するものではないが、尿、血液、膣排泄物、母乳、汗及び糞便を含む。本発明の好ましい吸収性物品は使い捨て吸収性物品であり、より好ましくは、使い捨ておむつ及び使い捨てパンツである。
本発明の凝集した超吸収性ポリマー粒子を形成するのに有用な超吸収性ポリマー粒子は、様々な形状であってよい。「粒子」という用語は、顆粒、繊維、フレーク、球体、粉末、小板、並びに超吸収性ポリマー粒子の分野の当業者に既知のその他の形状及び形態を指す。いくつかの実施形態では、超吸収性ポリマー粒子は、繊維の形状、すなわち細長い針状の超吸収性ポリマー粒子であってもよい。こうした実施形態では、超吸収性ポリマー粒子繊維は、約1mm未満、通常は約500μm未満、好ましくは250μm未満〜50μmまでの小さい寸法(すなわち、繊維の直径)を有する。繊維の長さは、好ましくは約3mm〜約100mmである。
本発明は、凝集した超吸収性ポリマー粒子に関する。驚くべきことに、凝集した超吸収性ポリマー粒子を作製するために、原子価が少なくとも3価である1つ以上の多価塩を使用することにより、良好な容量を有すると同時に、初期吸収速度が速くかつ透過率が良好な凝集した超吸収性ポリマー粒子が、比較的高収率でもたらされることが見出された。
更に、本発明の目的のため、超吸収性ポリマー粒子(第1の質量平均粒径)又は凝集した超吸収性ポリマー粒子(第2の質量平均粒径)の質量平均粒径を、所与の超吸収性ポリマー粒子(又は凝集した超吸収性ポリマー粒子)の質量基準の平均粒径である粒径として定義する。質量平均粒径を測定する方法は、試験方法の項で以下に説明される。第2の質量平均粒径が第1の質量平均粒径よりも少なくとも25%大きい限りにおいて、超吸収性ポリマー粒子(又は凝集した超吸収性ポリマー粒子)の質量平均粒径は、50μm〜850μm、又は100μm〜650μm、又は200μm〜600μmであってよい。
第1の質量平均粒径を有する超吸収性ポリマー粒子は、水と原子価が3価以上である多価塩とを含む溶液と混合される。溶液は、水に加えて更なる溶媒(例えば、有機溶媒など)を含んでいてもよいが、水に加えていかなる溶媒も使用しないのが望ましい。
−ポリアクリル酸ポリマーゲルを提供する。ポリアクリル酸ポリマーゲルは、周知の方法によって作製することができ、例えば、アクリル酸モノマーを重合することによって(例えば、50%〜95%の中和度でアクリル酸モノマーを重合することによって)作製することができる。中和は、典型的には、水酸化ナトリウムを用いて行われる。
−ゲルを第1の粉砕工程に供した後、第1の乾燥工程に供して、ベースポリマー粒子を得る。
−第1の乾燥工程の後、ベースポリマー粒子が乾燥し過ぎていて第2の粉砕工程を行えない場合は、ベースポリマー粒子を任意に再湿潤させることができる。
−続いて、ベースポリマー粒子を第2の粉砕工程に供した後、第2の乾燥工程に供することができる。
超吸収性ポリマー粒子の表面架橋は、当該技術分野において周知である。本発明では、凝集した超吸収性ポリマー粒子の表面架橋、又はあまり望ましくはないが、凝集体の形成の前又は形成と同時の超吸収性ポリマー粒子の表面架橋は、既知の表面架橋方法のいずれかによって行うことができる。
本発明の凝集した超吸収性ポリマー粒子を使用することができる典型的な使い捨て吸収性物品は、身体から排泄される様々な排泄物を吸収しかつ封じ込めるために、着用者の身体に接して、又はその近傍に配置され、図1及び図2におむつ20の形態で描かれている。
篩別試験による質量平均粒径
10g(少なくとも0.01gの精度で秤量)の対応する超吸収性ポリマー粒子又は凝集した超吸収性ポリマー粒子の代表的な試料を、直径約10cmの篩(例えば、Retsch GmbH,Haan,Germanyから入手可能なDIN/ISO 3310−1)を通して篩別する。以下の網目サイズの篩の積み重ね(上から下に順番に)を使用する:850μm、800μm、710μm、600μm、500μm、425μm、300μm、212μm、150μm、パン(本明細書では0μm相当とみなす)。各空の篩の重量を0.01gの精度で書き留める。
20000mLの樹脂製ケトル(温度計、注入針の導入に適した隔壁で閉じた四首ガラスカバーを備える)を、約5089.0gの氷(12128.0gである氷の総量のおよそ30〜40%、氷は脱イオン水から調製)で充填する。(液体の場合)全内容物を混合することができる電磁撹拌器を加え、撹拌を開始する。
20000mLの樹脂製ケトル(温度計、注入針の導入に適した隔壁で閉じた四首ガラスカバーを備える)を、約5388.3gの氷(氷の総量(=12149.9g)の約30〜45%、氷は脱イオン水から調製)で充填する。(液体の場合)全内容物を混合することができる電磁撹拌器を加え、撹拌を開始する。
表面架橋され凝集した超吸収性ポリマー粒子SAP 1〜5を以下のように作製した。
600.0gのそれぞれのベースポリマー(表を参照のこと)を、Lodige Ploughshare Laboratory Mixer,Type L5(Gebruder Lodige Maschinenbau GmbH(Paderborn,Germany)より入手可能)に添加し、回転速度設定6で混合する。規定量の乳酸アルミニウム溶液(表を参照のこと)(脱イオン水中15重量%の乳酸アルミニウム(Sigma−Aldrich製のL−乳酸アルミニウム95%))を、約0.2MPa(2バール)の噴霧圧、溶液約4.3g/分の流量、約23℃の開始温度で、スプレーノズル(ノズルディスクの直径が1.5mmの、Buchi Labortechnik GmbH(Essen,Germany)から入手可能なMini Spray Dryer B−290のスプレーノズル)を介して、蠕動ポンプ(例えば、内径が、例えば1.52mmであるTygon MHLLチューブを有するIsmatec MCP Standard)により添加する。約12.5分後、乳酸アルミニウムの添加を完了する。アルミニウム溶液の添加が完了した後、液体ホースの接続を断ち、Denacol溶液(1,2−プロパンジオール(賦形剤としての使用に好適、Merckより入手可能)でのNagase製のDenacol EX 810(=エチレングリコールジグリシジルエーテル=EGDGE)の溶液−以下の表を参照のこと)を用いて洗浄及び噴流を流し、噴霧装置に接続する。
