  • Patent number: 7855314
    Abstract: An Absorber and an absorbent article including a fiber aggregate wherein a tow composed of fibers is used as the fiber aggregate, and the compression resilience RC is 45 to 60%. Also, the fiber aggregate has a density of 0.0075 g/cm3 or less, weight of 0.0075 g/cm2 or less and a mass of 1 to 15 grams.

  • Patent number: 7717150
    Abstract: A shuffling hand feeling and unwanted non-uniform absorption characteristics in the case of using a tow (fiber bundle) are prevented. An absorbent body includes a fiber aggregate 21 formed by opening the tow, a super absorbent polymer 54, and a sheet covering these components; and includes the super absorbent polymer 54 bonded to the sheet 58 with an adhesive that is applied in a continuous plane to the entire surface or the substantially entire surface of at least the portion to be provided with the super absorbent polymer 54 in this sheet 58.

  • Publication number: 20080262459
    Abstract: [Problem to be Solved] To prevent shingly hand feeling and unintentional bias of absorption characteristics in the case of using tow (fiber bundle). [SOLUTION] An absorption element having a super absorbent polymer 54, comprising a fiber aggregate formed by opening tow 21, a super absorbent polymer 54 and a wrapping sheet 58 for wrapping them, wherein the whole face or almost whole face of part provided at least with the super absorbent polymer 54 in the sheet 58 is applied with an adhesive in a continuous plane, which is bonded to the sheet 58 with the adhesive.
