  • Patent number: 10850260
    Abstract: A super absorbent polymer and a method for producing the same are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the super absorbent polymer includes a base polymer powder including a cross-linked polymer, and first and second surface cross-linked layers formed on the base polymer powder. The first and second surface cross-linked layers are formed by further cross-linking the cross-linked polymer in the presence of a surface crosslinking agent, wherein the first and second surface cross-linked layers each include a cross-linked structure derived from epoxy-based and non-epoxy-based surface crosslinking agents. The super absorbent polymer can exhibit excellent absorbent properties even in a swollen state and thus exhibit excellent anti-rewetting effects. Accordingly, when the super absorbent polymer is used, it is possible to provide a sanitary material such as a diaper or a sanitary napkin which can give a smooth touch feeling even after the body fluid is discharged.
