Abstract:
The invention relates to a water-absorbing agent in particulate form, comprising particles of a water-absorbing polymer and between 0.1 and 4 wt. %, (relative to the particulate polymer), of a fine-particle natural fibre.
Abstract:
The invention relates to polymeric mixtures containing hydrogel-forming polymers with different pH values and which absorb aqueous fluids. Said polymeric mixtures can be produced by polymerization of olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acids or derivatives thereof. The invention also relates to the production and use of said polymeric mixtures and to the hygienic articles containing said polymeric mixtures. The invention particularly relates to two-component polymeric mixtures from polymers with a pH range from acid to neutral.
Abstract:
The invention relates to hydrophilic, open-cell, elastic foams consisting of melamine/formaldehyde resins. Said foams can be obtained by (a) heating and cross-linking an aqueous solution or dispersion, containing, respectively, at least one melamine/formaldehyde precondensate, an emulsifier, an expanding agent and a hardener, a foam being formed, (b) subsequently tempering the foam for a period of 1 to 180 minutes at 120 to 300 DEG C, volatile parts being removed, and (c) treating the foam with at least one polymer during or after the tempering process, said polymer containing primary and/or secondary amino groups and having a molar mass of at least 300. The invention also relates to a method for producing the hydrophilic, open-cell, elastic foams and to their use in hygiene products for absorbing, distributing and immobilising bodily fluids.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of open-cell elastic foamed materials based on melamine/formaldehyde condensation products in hygiene articles for absorbing, distributing and immobilizing body fluids. The invention also relates to hygiene articles, which are constructed from a combination comprised of a liquid-impermeable layer, of an absorbent intermediate layer and of a liquid-permeable layer, whereby for absorbing, distributing and immobilizing body fluids, the absorbent intermediate layer is comprised of an open cell elastic foamed material made of melamine/formaldehyde condensation products having a density ranging from 5 to 200 g/l, a specific surface (determined according to the B.E.T. method) of greater than 0.5 m /g and having a free swell capacity of greater than 20 g/g.

Abstract:
A superabsorbent having superior permeability and conveying properties comprises a permeability enhancing agent and a cohesion control agent and has a free swell gel bed permeability of at least 15 Darcies and a Hausner ratio in the range of 1.18 to 1.34.
Abstract:
Superabsorbent polymer particles having a transient hydrophobicity, excellent gel integrity, and free swell gel bed permeability are disclosed. A method of producing the superabsorbent polymer particles by applying a polyamine coating and a cosolvent to the particles also is disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to water-absorbing polymer particles with improved colour stability and to processes for preparing them, the water-absorbing polymer particles comprising at least one optical brightening agent.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing water-absorbing polymer particles, wherein at least one aliphatic aldehyde or the conversion product thereof has an aliphatic alcohol, an aliphatic amine, ammonia, a hypophosphite, or a phosphite added thereto.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the restabilization of (meth)acrylic monomers, whereby phenothiazine is removed from phenothiazine-containing (meth)acrylic monomers by adsorption on activated carbon and optionally subsequent addition of a moderately effective polymerization inhibitor.
