Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for gel or surface post-crosslinking of water-absorbing hydrogels with phosphoric acid esters as crosslinking agents, polymers which can be obtained by this process, and the use of the polymers in hygiene articles and as packaging materials.
- Hydrophilic, highly swellable hydrogels are in particular polymers of (co) polymerized hydrophilic monomers, graft (co) polymers of one or more hydrophilic monomers on a suitable graft base, crosslinked cellulose or starch ethers, crosslinked carboxymethyl cellulose, partially crosslinked polyalkylene oxide or in aqueous Liquid-swellable natural products, such as guar derivatives.
- Such hydrogels are used as products which absorb aqueous solutions for the production of diapers, tampons, sanitary napkins and other hygiene articles, but also as water-retaining agents in agricultural horticulture.
- hydrophilic, highly swellable hydrogels are generally surface or gel crosslinked. This postcrosslinking is known per se to the person skilled in the art and is preferably carried out in the aqueous gel phase or as surface postcrosslinking of the ground and sieved polymer particles.
- Crosslinkers suitable for this purpose are compounds which contain at least two groups which can form covalent bonds with the carboxyl groups of the hydrophilic polymer.
- Suitable crosslinkers are, for example, di- or polyglycidyl compounds, such as phosphonic acid diglycidyl ester, alkoxysilyl compounds, polyaziridines, polyamines or polyamidoamines, it being possible to use the compounds mentioned in mixtures with one another (see, for example, EP-A-0 083 022, EP-A-0 543 303 and EP-A-0 530 438).
- Polyamidoamines suitable as crosslinkers are described in particular in EP-A-0 349 935.
- crosslinkers A major disadvantage of these crosslinkers is their high reactivity. Although this is desirable in terms of chemical turnover, it has a higher toxicological potential. The processing of such crosslinkers in production operations requires special protective measures to meet the requirements of the applicable 2
- Polyfunctional alcohols are also known as crosslinkers.
- EP-A-0 372 981, US-A-4 666 983 and US-A-5 385 983 teach the use of hydrophilic polyalcohols or the use of polyhydroxy surfactants.
- the reaction is then carried out at temperatures of 120-250 ° C.
- the process has the disadvantage that the esterification reaction leading to crosslinking proceeds relatively slowly even at these temperatures.
- the task was to achieve a gel or surface postcrosslinking that is just as good or better than that of the prior art, using compounds which are relatively unreactive but nevertheless reactive with carboxyl groups.
- This problem was solved in such a way that the reaction time was as short as possible and the reaction temperature was as low as possible.
- the same reaction conditions should apply as when using highly reactive epoxides.
- esters of phosphoric acid with di- or polyols and amino alcohols are outstandingly suitable for solving this problem.
- the invention relates to a method for surface post-crosslinking of water-absorbing polymers, characterized in that (i) the polymer is treated with a surface post-crosslinking solution which, as crosslinking agent, is ester of phosphoric acid of the formula
- the temperature for postcrosslinking is preferably 50-250 ° C, in particular between 50-200 ° C, especially between 100-180 ° C.
- An acid catalyst can be added to accelerate the reaction of the surface post-crosslinking solution.

- Examples are boric acid, sulfuric acid, hydroiodic acid, phosphoric acid, tartaric acid, acetic acid and toluenesulfonic acid.
- their polymeric forms, anhydrides and the acidic salts of the polyvalent acids are also suitable.
- Examples include boron oxide, sulfur trioxide, diphosphorus pentaoxide and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate.
- the process according to the invention is preferably carried out in such a way that a solution of the surface postcrosslinker is sprayed onto the dry base polymer powder.
- the polymer powder is thermally dried, and the crosslinking reaction can take place both before and during the drying.
- fluidized bed dryers can also be used. Drying can take place in the mixer itself, by heating the jacket or by blowing in warm air.
- a downstream dryer such as e.g.
- the residence time at the preferred temperature in the reaction mixer or dryer is 5 to 90 minutes, preferably less than 30 minutes, very particularly preferably less than 10 minutes.
- Water and mixtures of water with single or polyfunctional alcohols are preferred as the inert solvent. However, it is possible to use all organic solvents which are infinitely miscible with water, such as, for example, certain esters and ketones which, as the term indicates inert, are not reactive even under the process conditions. If an alcohol / water mixture is used, the alcohol content of this solution is 10-90% by weight, preferably 30-70% by weight, in particular 40-60% by weight. All alcohols that are miscible with water can be used as well as mixtures of several alcohols (eg methanol + glycerol + water). The use of the following alcohols in aqueous solution is particularly preferred: methanol, 4
