  • Patent number: 9132048
    Abstract: A water-absorbent sheet structure comprising a structure in which an absorbent layer containing a water-absorbent resin is sandwiched with a hydrophilic nonwoven fabric from an upper side and a lower side of the absorbent layer, characterized in that at least one side of the upper side and the lower side of the water-absorbent sheet structure is subjected to embossing, wherein a central region W1 of a water-absorbent sheet structure 1 along a longitudinal direction of the structure 1 is subjected to: wavy embossing 2 comprising one wavy embossing extending along the longitudinal direction, wherein the embossing comprises one or more discontinued segments of the embossing, and linear embossing 4 in a direction from each of tips 3 of wavy forms formed by the wavy embossing 2 towards an edge portion contouring along the longitudinal direction of the water-absorbent sheet structure 1, and wherein a branched structure of embossing formed by the wavy embossing 2 and the linear embossing 4 has an approximate Y-shape

  • Publication number: 20150005727
    Abstract: A water-absorbent sheet structure (10) including a structure in which an absorbent layer (13) containing a water-absorbent resin (12) and an adhesive (11) is sandwiched with nonwoven fabrics from an upper side and a lower side of the absorbent layer, the water-absorbent sheet structure (10) comprising (1) an upper nonwoven fabric (14) which is a water-permeable nonwoven fabric having a water permeation rate of 10 s or less; and (2) a lower nonwoven fabric (15) which is a water-retaining nonwoven fabric having an amount of water absorbed of 250 g/m2 or more. The water-absorbent sheet structure (10) of the present invention is thin and is capable of sufficiently exhibiting water-absorbent capacities such as fast liquid permeability, a small amount of liquid re-wet, and a small amount of liquid leakage.
