The hot-melt crimped fiber is made of at least two components having different melting points, for example, a polyethylene-polypropylene composite film or a polyethylene-polypropylene-polyethylene composite film is treated with a roller having a large number of blade needles on its peripheral surface to be short-cut. Fibers, polyethylene-polypropylene side-by-side type or sheath-core type composite fibers, and the like are included. These fibers extend in three-dimensional directions and are entangled with each other, partially fused through a low melting point component such as a polyethylene component, and a high melting point component such as a polypropylene component constitutes a three-dimensional network structure mainly functioning as a skeleton. is doing. Therefore, this network structure is excellent in compression recovery, and greatly contributes to the later-described water absorption recovery action of the absorbent body. For this contribution, the fibers are crimped and partially fused to form a three-dimensional network structure, and the amount used and the fineness are essential factors. How much is used
It is 10 to 70% by weight, preferably 30 to 40% by weight. Considering only compression resilience, the larger the amount used, the better, but it is also necessary to secure the required amount of cotton-like pulp and polymer particles that fulfill the function of absorbing water in the absorber, so the maximum amount of use is 70 wt. It is necessary to limit it to%. Fineness is 10 to 10
It is 0d, preferably 20 to 50d. Furthermore, referring to crimps of fibers, those that physically develop crimps, that is, those that develop crimps by heat treatment utilizing the difference in melting points of the composite fibers, It may be crimped, that is, it may be crimped by passing the fiber between heating rolls having a large number of ridges and valleys on the peripheral surface, but the latter is a heat treatment described later in the manufacturing process of the absorber. Therefore, the dimensional stability is excellent. In both the former and latter cases, the number of crimps is preferably 3 to 40 per inch. The fiber length is not particularly limited, but is generally called short fiber, that is, 5 to
It is 100 mm, preferably 30 to 60 mm.

The polymer particles are generally used as an absorbent material for disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, and the like, and are water-insoluble and have a water-absorbing capacity of several tens of times their own weight. Examples thereof include crosslinked polyacrylates and acrylic acid-acrylic acid ester copolymers, self-crosslinking polyacrylic acid salts, and hydrolysates of starch acrylonitrile graft copolymers. The amount used is 5 to 50% by weight, preferably 10 to 40% by weight.

Incidentally, the polymer particles are such that the crimped fibers constituting the three-dimensional network structure are intermittently coated in a spherical shape or an elliptic spherical shape,
In other words, the fibers may be integrally bonded to the crimped fibers so as to penetrate the spherical or ellipsoidal polymer particles. Such a bond can be obtained by, for example, spraying a monomer solution onto the fiber assembly and then polymerizing the monomer.

Absorbers composed of such mixed materials have a basis weight of 100-700.
It is necessary to have g / m 2 as an absorbent body for disposable diapers, sanitary napkins and the like. Further, as will be described later, this absorbent body, in a state where the mixed material is collected in a mat-like body, is compressed in the thickness direction with the presence of a small amount of water or a binder aqueous solution, if necessary, and its density is 0.033. ~ 0.7g / cm
It is said to be 3 . If the compression density of the absorber is within the above numerical range, it is not necessary to be uniform over the entire region. For example, the central region of the absorber may have a high density, its peripheral region may have a low density, or the central region may have a low density. , The surrounding area with high density,
Further, the density may gradually decrease from the central region to the peripheral region or from the peripheral region to the central region. Such a density change can be provided by making the processing pressure for compression different in each zone and by making the distribution (thickness) of the mixed material in each zone different. Absorber thickness is 1

Absorber manufacturing method: Mechanically crimped hot-melt composite fibers, the cotton-like pulp, and the water-absorbing polymer particles are mixed almost uniformly at a predetermined ratio to obtain a density of 0.003 to 0.023. Accumulate on a mat-like body of g / cm 3 . This mat-like body is lightly pressed in the thickness direction by a roller or the like to be temporarily compressed to a density of 0.005 to 0.035 g / cm 3 . This temporary compression is too bulky to simply accumulate the above-mentioned materials and hinders the processing in the next processing step, or prevents the shape from being lost during the transfer to the step. This temporary compression mat-like body is made of water or an aqueous binder solution, such as CMC.
An aqueous solution or PVA aqueous solution of 0.5 to 10% by weight is sprayed and impregnated almost uniformly, and then compressed in a thickness direction by a roller or the like to a thickness of 1 to 3 mm and a density of 0.033 to 0.7 g / cm 3. The solidification completes the production of the absorber.

In the case of this manufacturing method, the hot-melt composite fiber, in advance,
Since a mechanical crimp is applied, in addition to this, the composite fiber rarely develops a crimp in the heat treatment and the mat-like body is not deformed into an arbitrary shape, in other words, the shape at the time of the heat treatment. Good stability.

In this method, since crimps are developed in the composite fiber by the heat treatment, there is undulation that lacks the morphological stability of the mat-like body during the heat treatment. However, since it can be dealt with by designing in consideration of the deformation of the mat-like body in advance, it can be adopted as the second best measure of the manufacturing method.

In any of the above production methods, the compression-molded mat-shaped absorbent body retains its state without being restored unless it absorbs a certain amount of water. It is considered that the binder function of water or an aqueous binder solution, hydrogen bonding, frictional engagement, and temporary strain are combined. Its compression recovery reaches its maximum when the absorber is saturated with water absorption, and the density at that time is restored to 0.01 to 0.035 g / cm 3 . If the absorber is composed of a material of the stated weight, its final compressed density is between 0.033 and 0.7.
If the material is compressed so that it is higher than g / cm 3 or if the water or the binder aqueous solution is impregnated in an amount of more than 10% by weight, the desired water absorption restoration cannot be expected.

According to the absorbent body of the present invention, as the constituent material of the absorbent body, in addition to a predetermined amount of cotton-like pulp and water-absorbent polymer particles, a predetermined fineness and a predetermined amount of heat-welded crimped fiber are used, and Since it has a three-dimensional network structure partially fused with crimped fibers, it has a sufficient skeletal structure of the absorber,
It excels in shape retention, strength, and compression / recovery elasticity under water absorption. Moreover, since the absorbent body is small in volume before absorbing body fluids, the forms of disposable diapers and sanitary napkins using this absorbent body are also small in volume, which is convenient for packaging, transporting, and displaying at stores, etc. In addition, after absorption of body fluid due to use, the bulk increases and the absorption capacity increases, and at the same time, it fits in the crotch portion and helps prevent leakage of body fluid.

Further, according to the method for producing an absorbent body of the present invention, since crimps are imparted to or expressed in the hot-melt fiber at the latest until the compression treatment, it is possible to compress the hot-melt fiber by comparison with the non-fiber. Entanglement and frictional engagement increased,
It contributes to maintaining the compressed state. Furthermore, since the water or binder aqueous solution is impregnated during the compression, the retention is better, while the retention is released by absorption of a relatively large amount of body fluid.
