Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide absorbent resin particles for a water-stopping tape which are superior in absorption rate even when their average particle size is smaller or when their particle size distribution is wider. The present invention relates to absorbent resin particles for a water-stopping tape comprising a crosslinked polymer (A1) comprising a water-soluble vinyl monomer (a1) and/or a hydrolyzable vinyl monomer (a2) and a crosslinking agent (b) as essential constitutional units, wherein a hydrophobic substance (C) is present inside the absorbent resin particles in an amount of from 0.01 to 10.0% by weight relative to the weight of (A1) and (C) is present on the surface of the absorbent resin particles in an amount of from 0.001 to 1.0% by weight relative to the weight of (A1).

Abstract: An electric fluid heater includes the secondary coil of a transformer which secondary coil consists of a heating element having a multiple-turned flow path which however is single-turned electrically. When the primary coil of the transformer is supplied with electric power, the secondary coil heats fluid which flows in the flow path.
