  • Patent number: 11958921
    Abstract: To provide a disposable diaper enabling reduction in re-wet amount and having an excellent speed of incorporating liquid regardless of concentration and configuration of a water-absorbing agent in an absorbent material. A water-absorbing agent having excellent Gel Capillary Absorption (GCA) and Free Gel Bed Permeability (FGBP) is obtained by crushing a crosslinked hydrogel polymer obtained in a polymerization step to have a specific weight average particle diameter while fluid retention capacity and a surface tension of a water-absorbing agent are adjusted in a specific range, drying the crushed crosslinked hydrogel polymer, and then adding a liquid permeability enhancer thereto during surface crosslinking or after surface crosslinking.

  • Patent number: 10525445
    Abstract: A water absorbent resin (water absorbing agent) and method for producing it are provided which improve, in a water absorbent article (in particular, a diaper) including a water absorbent resin as a water absorbing agent, the absolute absorption amount (g), liquid absorbing times (in particular, liquid absorbing times at the second instance and later), re-wet (g), and diffusion distance (%) of the water absorbent article. A particulate water absorbing agent of the present invention has a CRC, a proportion of particles with sizes of 600 ?m to 150 ?m as defined through a standard-sieve classification, an SST, and the value of the difference between an FST and the SST each within a predetermined range.

  • Patent number: 10207250
    Abstract: A low cost, a disposable diaper is provided that presents no difficulties in disposable diaper manufacture in humid climates, and that has a minimal amount of flowback, and rapid absorption time. A particulate water-absorbing agent is provided having as the principal component a poly (meth)acrylic acid (salt)-based water absorbing resin, wherein the water-absorbing agent has a particle size distribution of a weight average particle diameter of 300 to 500 ?m, a blocking ratio after moisture absorption when left for one hour at 25° C. and 90% relative humidity of 20% or less, a surface tension of 60 mN/m or more, and a gel capillary absorption (GCA) of 28.0 g/g or more.
