    Abstract: A process for producing water-absorbing polymer particles is provided, comprising a) a polymerization step in which an aqueous monomer solution comprising at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer M which bears acid groups and may have been at least partly neutralized and at least one crosslinker is polymerized to obtain an aqueous polymer gel; b) a pelletization step in which the aqueous polymer gel having a solids content of 35 to 70% by weight and a temperature of 75 to 125° C. is forced from a high-pressure zone through a die plate into a low-pressure zone and pellets are obtained, the pressure differential between the high-pressure zone and the low-pressure zone being 4 to less than 14 bar and the orifice ratio of the die plate being 30 to 80%; c) a drying step in which the pellets are dried to a moisture content of less than 10% by weight; d) a grinding step and a classifying step to obtain water-absorbing polymer particles; and e) surface crosslinking of the water-absorbing polymer particles. The water-absorbing polymer particles have a high swell rate and a high retention capacity combined with a favorable ratio of permeability of the swollen gel bed SFC to centrifuge retention capacity CRC.

    Abstract: Water-absorbing polymer particles are formed from crosslinked polymer chains comprising predominantly polymerized units of at least partly neutralized acrylic acid. They have a) a proportion of particles having a particle size of 150 to 300 μm of at least 20% by weight, b) a free swell rate of the entirety of the polymer particles FSRoverall of at least 0.25 g/g·s, c) a difference ΔFSR of at least 0.15, d) a centrifuge retention capacity CRC of at least 25.0 g/g, and e) a permeability of the swollen gel bed SFC of at least 90×10−7 cm3·s/g. ΔFSR is defined as =ΔFSR=FSR150-300 μm−FSRoverall in which FSR150-300 μm represents the free swell rate of the polymer particles having a particle size of 150 to 300 μm. The absorption capacity of the entirety of the polymer particles is substantially utilized even in the case of segregation of particles of different size.
