  • disposable diapers were prepared using the absorbent sheets of the examples and comparative examples. Specifically, an absorbent core (such as pulp fiber and water-absorbing polymer covered with a covering sheet) is removed from a disposable diaper (trade name “Merry's”, released in 2016) manufactured by Kao Corporation. The absorbent sheets of the examples and comparative examples having the same shape and dimensions as the removed absorbent core were wrapped in a covering sheet in the same manner as the absorbent core and incorporated into the diaper. About the disposable diaper produced in this way, the water absorbing polymer fixability at the time of absorbent article wear was evaluated by the following method. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
  • the diaper to be evaluated is folded vertically in the vertical direction with the skin-facing surface, that is, the top sheet, inside, and the sides of the central part of the absorbent body, which is the artificial urine injection scheduled part, are gripped with fingers and alternately in the vertical direction Move to. After repeating this up-and-down motion 50 times, each part of the diaper is stretched and spread in a flat shape, and the artificial urine is placed on the top sheet in the center of the absorbent body with the top sheet facing upward and fixed on the horizontal plane. 120 g was injected and absorbed, and then allowed to stand for 3 minutes in a natural state.
  • the up-and-down movement performed before the artificial urine is injected is performed again on the diaper.
  • This up-and-down movement assumes movement of a wearer's leg while wearing a diaper.
  • the covering sheet in the diaper is cut open, the state of the absorbent sheet is visually observed, and no dropout or movement of the water-absorbing polymer is seen or only a small part is seen.
  • the case was A (highest evaluation), and the other cases were B.
  • composition of the artificial urine used in the measurement method is as follows. 1.94% by mass of urea, 0.7954% by mass of sodium chloride, 0.11058% by mass of magnesium sulfate (septahydrate), 0.06208% by mass of calcium chloride (dihydrate), 0.19788% by mass of potassium sulfate , Polyoxyethylene lauryl ether 0.0035 mass% and ion-exchanged water (remaining amount).
  • each Example having a water-absorbing polymer fixing rate of 40% or more or an absorbent body using the same has high water-absorbing polymer fixing property when the absorbent article is worn. Even if it moves after excretion of body fluids such as urine, the water-absorbing polymer does not easily fall off or move, and the shape retention as an absorber is excellent.
  • each comparative example in which the water-absorbing polymer fixing rate does not reach 40% has a low water-absorbing polymer fixing property when the absorbent article is worn, and in such an evaluation test of the water-absorbing polymer fixing property, It was confirmed that large unevenness was formed as the absorbent body due to remarkable dropout and movement. From the above results, each example is less likely to give a sense of incongruity when wearing an absorbent article due to the dropping of the water-absorbing polymer as compared with each comparative example, and can stably exhibit excellent absorption performance. It is obvious.
  • Example 7 to 10 An absorbent sheet having the same configuration as the absorbent sheet 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 was produced.
  • a nonwoven fabric or a resin film shown in Table 2 below was used as the base sheet, and a particulate polyacrylate-based water-absorbing polymer (average particle size 400 ⁇ m) was used as the water-absorbing polymer.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un article absorbant (20) comprenant : une feuille absorbante (10) qui est obtenue par fixation d'un polymère absorbant l'eau (12) à une feuille de substrat (11) ; et une feuille de couverture (21) qui recouvre au moins une surface de la feuille absorbante (10). La feuille absorbante (10) possède un taux de fixation de polymère absorbant l'eau d'au moins 40 %. Étant donné que l'article absorbant (20) présente un rendement de fixation élevé du polymère absorbant l'eau (12) sur la feuille de substrat (11), la diminution du polymère absorbant l'eau (12) n'est pas susceptible de se produire même après l'absorption d'un liquide. Le polymère absorbant l'eau (12) est de préférence fixé à la feuille de substrat (11), un adhésif (13) destiné à la fixation de feuille de substrat étant interposé entre ces derniers. L'adhésif (13) est de préférence un adhésif acrylique, à base de silicone ou à base de caoutchouc, et est de préférence un adhésif thermofusible.
