  • Patent number: 6051317
    Abstract: The invention relates to sheet-like absorbents for water and aqueous solutions, containing at a defined distributionA) at least one water-swellable synthetic and/or natural superabsorbent polymer, andB) at least one water-soluble synthetic and/or natural polymeras a matrix of sheet-like design wherein the superabsorbent component A) is integrated or fixed. The sheet-like absorbents have an increased absorptive capacity for water and aqueous liquids, particularly under load. They are manufactured by forming a sheet-like matrix from the water-soluble synthetic and/or natural polymers B) and providing same with said water-swellable synthetic and/or natural superabsorber A), e.g., by applying a solution of matrix B) on a surface, sprinkling same with component A), and drying the sheet-like structure thus obtained.

  • Patent number: 6033769
    Abstract: The invention relates to layered bodies for absorbing water and aqueous liquids, consisting of at least one water-soluble polymer foam layer and particulate superabsorbent polymerizates, which contain the superabsorber on top of, between or underneath the foamed polymer layer in a quantitatively and/or locally predetermined and fixed sheet-like arrangement at a quantity ratio of polymer foam and superabsorber of from 1:500 to 50:1. The polymer foam may contain fillers, pigments and/or synthetic fibers. The layered bodies have increased absorptive capacity for water and aqueous liquids, particularly under load. They are produced by spreading the foam in a sheet-like fashion, applying the superabsorber at the predetermined quantity ratio, optionally using a template, and fixing it by a heat treatment.
