Description
本发明涉及吸收性物品,更具体地讲,是如一次性尿布和卫生巾的吸收性物品,该吸收性物品包括透液性表层材,非透液性底层材,和嵌于表层材和底层材之间的储液性吸收体,而且该吸收性物品在吸收体非常薄时仍具有高吸收性能,并且具有良好的贴适感及优异的防漏性能。The present invention relates to absorbent articles, more particularly, absorbent articles such as disposable diapers and sanitary napkins, which absorbent articles comprise a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet, and an embedded topsheet and backsheet. It is a liquid-storage absorbent body between materials, and the absorbent article still has high absorption performance even when the absorbent body is very thin, and has a good fit feeling and excellent leak-proof performance.
吸收性物品,如一次性尿布、卫生巾和尿失禁垫,主要包括在其中心部分处设置的吸收体,该吸收体起到吸收和储留人体排泄的体液如尿液或血液的作用,吸收性物品还包括设置在与皮肤相接触一侧上的柔软的透液性表层材,和设置在吸收体另一侧上的非透液性底层材。Absorbent articles, such as disposable diapers, sanitary napkins and incontinence pads, mainly include an absorbent body arranged at the central part thereof, which absorbs and retains bodily fluids such as urine or blood excreted by the human body, absorbs The sexual article also includes a soft, liquid-permeable topsheet disposed on the skin-contacting side, and a liquid-impermeable backsheet disposed on the other side of the absorbent body.
常规的吸收体由如木浆的亲水性纤维基料以及超吸收聚合物制成。体液流过由无纺布等制成的表层材,然后被吸收体吸收。吸收的体液暂时停留在纤维基料如木浆中,然后渗移并储留在超吸收聚合物中。在常规的吸收性物品中,以吸收体的总重计,超吸收聚合物的使用比例为约10-30%。Conventional absorbent bodies are made from a hydrophilic fiber base such as wood pulp and superabsorbent polymers. Body fluid flows through the top sheet made of nonwoven fabric or the like, and is then absorbed by the absorbent body. Absorbed body fluids are temporarily lodged in the fibrous matrix, such as wood pulp, and then migrate and be stored in the superabsorbent polymer. In conventional absorbent articles, the superabsorbent polymer is used in a proportion of about 10-30% based on the total weight of the absorbent body.
通常是通过减少纤维基料的量而增加超吸收聚合物的量来降低这种吸收性物品的厚度。在这种情况下,由于吸收体中超吸收聚合物的比例增加,而体液使超吸收聚合物颗粒溶涨并变软,这些颗粒就会相互接触,或者是聚合物颗粒重新排列而相互靠近,这导致溶涨颗粒之间的空间变小。其结果是,该空间本该起到体液通道的作用,却被堵塞了,而且在堵塞部分上还形成了一层体液,这就是所谓的凝胶阻塞现象。一旦发生凝胶阻塞现象,即使吸收的体液量还未达到饱和,吸收性物品也不能再吸收体液了。The thickness of such absorbent articles is generally reduced by reducing the amount of fibrous substrate and increasing the amount of superabsorbent polymer. In this case, as the proportion of superabsorbent polymer in the absorbent body increases, and the body fluid swells and softens the superabsorbent polymer particles, these particles will come into contact with each other, or the polymer particles will rearrange and approach each other. The spaces between the swollen particles become smaller. As a result, the space, which should function as a channel for body fluids, becomes blocked, and a layer of body fluid forms over the blockage, a phenomenon known as gel occlusion. Once the gel blocking phenomenon occurs, the absorbent article can no longer absorb body fluid even if the absorbed body fluid amount is not saturated.
另一方面,一体形成表层材和吸收体以增加液体由表层材到吸收体的透液性也是已知的。在此情况下,表层材和吸收体会分开,阻碍吸收性。如果使用大量的热熔粘合剂来防止表层材和吸收体的分离,热熔粘合则会导致阻塞,也会阻碍吸收性。On the other hand, it is also known to integrally form the topsheet and the absorbent body to increase the liquid permeability from the topsheet to the absorbent body. In this case, the top sheet and the absorbent body separate, hindering absorbency. If a large amount of hot melt adhesive is used to prevent the separation of the cover sheet and the absorbent body, the hot melt adhesive can cause clogging and also hinder absorbency.
日本专利申请公开49964/92提出了在吸收体中掺入具有不同熔点的组合纤维,以便通过热粘结来一体形成吸收体和表层材。然而,根据其公开的内容,由于组合纤维的掺入比例较高,吸收体变得略有疏水性。其结果是,不仅吸收性下降,而且一起使用的一些超吸收聚合物由于粘结阻塞也导致吸收性下降。再者,因为组合纤维的型心材料是具有高弹性模数的树脂,吸收体就会变厚,使得很难减小总体厚度。Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 49964/92 proposes incorporating combined fibers having different melting points into an absorbent body to integrally form the absorbent body and the topsheet by thermal bonding. However, according to its disclosure, the absorbent body becomes slightly hydrophobic due to the high blending ratio of the combined fiber. As a result, not only is the absorbency reduced, but some superabsorbent polymers used together also result in reduced absorbency due to clogging. Furthermore, since the core material of the combined fibers is a resin having a high modulus of elasticity, the absorber becomes thick, making it difficult to reduce the overall thickness.
因此,本发明的目的是提供一种薄型的吸收性物品,该吸收性物品的吸收体具有高比例的超吸收聚合物,但仍具有优异的再吸收性能,而且不妨碍吸收性,例如粘结阻塞。Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a thin absorbent article whose absorbent core has a high proportion of superabsorbent polymer, but which still has excellent reabsorbability without hindering absorbency, such as sticking block.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a disposable diaper as a first embodiment of the absorbent article of the first aspect of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a flat plan view of the disposable diaper shown in Fig. 1, with a part cut away.
如图1和2所示的实施方案的一次性尿布包括透液性表层材2,非透液性底层材3和嵌于表层材2和底层材3之间的储液性吸收体4。它具有前腰部分5和后腰部分5’,在穿戴该尿布时,它们分别相当于穿戴者的身体前侧部分和身体后侧部分。The disposable diaper of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a liquid-
一次性尿布1之后腰部分5’的边上设有一对固紧带10和10’,在穿戴尿布时,通过它们可以将前腰部分5和后腰部分5’固紧在一起。在前腰部分5的底层材3的表面上设有所谓的固定带11,固紧带10和10’与该固定带相互粘在一起。A pair of fastening belts 10 and 10' are provided on the rear waist portion 5' of the disposable diaper 1, and when the diaper is worn, the front waist portion 5 and the rear waist portion 5' can be fastened together by them. On the surface of the
吸收体4具有相应于尿布之腿叉部的部分,其为沙漏形。沿吸收体4设有腰部弹性体6和腿部弹性体8,也就是说在前腰和后腰部分5和5’及两个腿部开口部分。这些弹性体是以伸展状态被固定在表层材2和底层材3之间的,这样,它们在自由状态下就会回缩,在腰部开口部分和腿部开口部分形成腰部皱褶7和7’以及腿部皱褶9和9’,由此如图1所示可以很好地贴适于穿戴者的身体。The
在一次性尿布1中,表层材2是透液性片材,身体的排泄物可以由其通过进入吸收体4中,它优选由具有内衣感的材料制成。此类透液性片材优选包括纺织织物、无纺布和多孔薄膜。优选使用的表层材2是周边为斥水性的,这样可以防止尿液等由周边渗出导致的泄漏。使该片材具有斥水性的处理可通过以下方法进行:用疏水性化合物如硅油和石蜡油涂覆表层材2的周边部分,或者是用亲水性化合物如烷基磷酸酯涂覆表层材2的整个表面,然后用温水冲洗周边部分。In the disposable diaper 1, the
底层材3是透湿性的和非透液性的片材,也就是说对于液体是非透过性的,而对于水蒸气则是可透过性的,该片材优选由具有内衣感的材料制成。此类非透液性片材可通过拉伸含有填料的热塑性树脂来得到。具体地讲,非透液性片材优选由具有透湿性的微孔片材和包括该微孔片材和无纺布的复合片材制成。将在以后描述优选用于本发明之中微孔片材的具体细节。The
形成腰部皱褶7和7’的弹性体6和形成腿部皱褶9和9’的弹性体8优选为橡胶线,橡胶编织带,弹性薄膜或聚氨酯发泡薄膜。The elastic body 6 forming the waist gathers 7 and 7' and the elastic body 8 forming the leg gathers 9 and 9' are preferably rubber threads, rubber braided belts, elastic films or polyurethane foam films.
吸收体4应满足上述条件(1),也就是说,它主要包括纤维基料和超吸收聚合物,以吸收体总重计,超吸收聚合物的比例不少于45重量%。The
纤维基料包括纤维素纤维,改性纤维素纤维,合成纤维和两种或更多种上述纤维的混合物。Fibrous base materials include cellulosic fibers, modified cellulosic fibers, synthetic fibers and mixtures of two or more of the foregoing.
纤维素纤维包括天然纤维,如木浆和棉花,和纤维素化学纤维,如粘性人造丝和乙酸酯纤维。Cellulosic fibers include natural fibers such as wood pulp and cotton, and cellulosic chemical fibers such as viscose rayon and acetate fibers.
合成纤维包括聚乙烯纤维,聚丙烯纤维,聚酯纤维,聚酰胺纤维,聚丙烯腈纤维,聚乙烯醇纤维,含有至少两种这些合成纤维的芯/鞘型组合纤维,以及由至少两种这些合成纤维制成的混合纤维。Synthetic fibers include polyethylene fibers, polypropylene fibers, polyester fibers, polyamide fibers, polyacrylonitrile fibers, polyvinyl alcohol fibers, core/sheath type composite fibers containing at least two of these synthetic fibers, and fibers composed of at least two of these A blend of synthetic fibers.
纤维基料优选为各种的亲水性纤维素纤维。在使用不具有亲水性的纤维基料时,材料可用表面活性剂等进行表面处理,使其具有亲水性。The fibrous base material is preferably various hydrophilic cellulose fibers. When using a non-hydrophilic fiber base, the material can be surface-treated with a surfactant to make it hydrophilic.
在吸收体4中,以吸收体4的总重计,超吸收聚合物的使用比例为45重量%或更高。正如上所述的,如果考虑如凝胶阻塞的问题,以吸收体的总重计,常规一次性尿布只允许超吸收聚合物的含量为约10-30重量%。在本发明中,即使在超吸收聚合物的含量不少于45重量%时,也不会发生凝胶阻塞现象,这就使得本发明的吸收性物品在具有优异的再吸收性能的同时,厚度也得以减小。以吸收体的总重计,超吸收聚合物的使用量优选为45-90重量%,特别是50-80重量%。In the
因为以下原因,以吸收体的总重计,纤维基料的使用量优选为10-55重量%,特别是20-50重量%。如果纤维基料的量低于10重量%,吸收体4在使用时,会由于纤维基料的纤维之间缺乏相互的缠绕,而被撕裂或扭曲变形。如果其超过55重量%,就不能得到薄型的吸收性物品。The fibrous base material is preferably used in an amount of 10-55% by weight, especially 20-50% by weight, based on the total weight of the absorbent body, for the following reasons. If the amount of the fibrous base material is less than 10% by weight, the
吸收体4可由纤维基料和超吸收聚合物构成,或者是主要包括纤维基料和超吸收聚合物,并另外含有其他的可选组份,只要不影响本发明的目的和效果即可。可用于吸收体中的其他可选的组份包括有机粉末,如纸浆粉末和天然多糖;无机粉末,如沸石,活性炭和细的硅石颗粒;颜料;杀菌剂;香料;和将在以后予以描述的特别的纤维热塑性树脂。The
在此所用的超吸收聚合物应满足上述条件(2)和(3)。也就是说,(2)根据离心脱水法,所述超吸收聚合物的生理盐水吸收作用为不少于25g/g;和(3)所述超吸收聚合物的液体通过时间不超过20秒,这是根据以下方法测定的:将0.5g的所述超吸收聚合物放入装有生理盐水的、横截面积为4.91cm2(内径为25mmφ)的圆筒中,以便用生理盐水使所述超吸收聚合物溶涨直至饱和,然后在溶涨的超吸收聚合物沉下去之后,测定50ml生理盐水通过所述超吸收聚合物所需的时间。The superabsorbent polymer used here should satisfy the above conditions (2) and (3). That is, (2) the physiological saline absorption of the superabsorbent polymer is not less than 25 g/g according to the centrifugal dehydration method; and (3) the liquid transit time of the superabsorbent polymer is not more than 20 seconds, This is determined according to the following method: 0.5 g of the superabsorbent polymer is placed in a cylinder with a cross-sectional area of 4.91 cm 2 (inner diameter: 25 mmφ) filled with physiological saline, so that the superabsorbent polymer is absorbed by the physiological saline. The absorbent polymer was swollen until saturated, and after the swollen superabsorbent polymer sank, the time required for 50 ml of physiological saline to pass through the superabsorbent polymer was measured.
根据条件(2)的“生理盐水吸收作用”(以下有时称为水吸收作用)是超吸收聚合物的水吸收性能的量度。如果水吸收作用低于25g/g,即使以吸收体4的总重计超吸收聚合物的量为45重量%或更高,所得的吸收性物品也不会具有足够的吸收能力。水吸收作用越高约好,但考虑到实际情况,优选的水吸收作用范围为25-65g/g,特别是35-65g/g。水吸收作用的测量方法将在后面的实施例中详细描述。The "physiological saline absorption action" (hereinafter sometimes referred to as water absorption action) according to the condition (2) is a measure of the water absorption performance of the superabsorbent polymer. If the water absorption is lower than 25 g/g, even if the amount of the superabsorbent polymer is 45% by weight or more based on the total weight of the
根据条件(3)的“液体通过时间”是超吸收聚合物发生凝胶阻塞的量度。如果液体通过是长于20秒,以吸收体的总重计超吸收聚合物的使用比例为4 5重量%或更高,这就会导致凝胶阻塞,而且妨碍发挥其吸收性能。液体通过时间越短越好,但考虑到实际情况,优选范围是2-20秒,特别是2-25秒。将在实施例中对测量液体通过时间的方法进行具体的描述。The "liquid transit time" according to condition (3) is a measure of gel blocking of the superabsorbent polymer. If the liquid passage is longer than 20 seconds, the superabsorbent polymer is used in an amount of 45% by weight or more based on the total weight of the absorbent body, which causes gel blocking and hinders its absorbing performance. The shorter the liquid passage time, the better, but considering the actual situation, the preferred range is 2-20 seconds, especially 2-25 seconds. The method of measuring the liquid passage time will be specifically described in Examples.
只要满足条件(2)和(3),对所用的超吸收聚合物的种类就没有特别的限制。合适的超吸收聚合物的例子包括聚丙烯酸钠,丙烯酸-乙烯醇共聚物,交联的聚丙烯酸钠,淀粉-丙烯酸接枝聚合物,异丁烯-马来酸酐共聚物和它们的皂化产物,聚丙烯酸钾,和聚丙烯酸铯。满足条件(2)和(3)的超吸收聚合物可通过以下方法得到:在超吸收聚合物颗粒的表面上形成交联密度的梯度,或者是将超吸收聚合物颗粒做成非球形和不规则形。更具体的,请参看日本专利申请公开184956/95之第7列28行-第9列6行所披露的方法,该文献在此引用作为参考。As long as the conditions (2) and (3) are satisfied, the kind of superabsorbent polymer used is not particularly limited. Examples of suitable superabsorbent polymers include sodium polyacrylate, acrylic acid-vinyl alcohol copolymers, cross-linked sodium polyacrylates, starch-acrylic acid graft polymers, isobutylene-maleic anhydride copolymers and their saponification products, polyacrylic acid potassium, and cesium polyacrylate. The superabsorbent polymer satisfying the conditions (2) and (3) can be obtained by forming a crosslink density gradient on the surface of the superabsorbent polymer particles, or by making the superabsorbent polymer particles non-spherical and non-spherical. regular shape. More specifically, please refer to the method disclosed in column 7, line 28-column 9, line 6 of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 184956/95, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
如果满足条件(2)和(3),就可以有效地防止超吸收聚合物发生凝胶阻塞,并因而可在吸收体中大量使用,由此可降低吸收体的厚度。If the conditions (2) and (3) are satisfied, gel blocking of the superabsorbent polymer can be effectively prevented, and thus can be used in large quantities in absorbent bodies, whereby the thickness of the absorbent body can be reduced.
上述的纤维基料和超吸收聚合物可以混合地存在于吸收体4中,或者是超吸收聚合物自成为一层而存在于纤维基料之中。纤维基料可以为其中放有精细纤维基料的叠置形式,或者是如纸或无纺布之类的片材形式。The above-mentioned fibrous base material and superabsorbent polymer may be present in the
为在用作吸收性物品时确保实际的吸收性能,超吸收聚合物优选以10-1000g/m2,特别是20-500g/m2的单位重量使用。In order to ensure a practical absorbent performance when used as an absorbent article, superabsorbent polymers are preferably used in a basis weight of 10-1000 g/m 2 , especially 20-500 g/m 2 .
因为在吸收体4中所用的超吸收聚合物的量要比纤维基料的大,因此,与常规吸收体相比,吸收体4的厚度更薄。因而,很自然地可以得出一次性尿布1也比常规的更薄。具体而言,一次性尿布1的厚度在2.5g/cm2载荷时优选为1.0-4.0mm,特别优选为1.0-3.0mm。Since the amount of superabsorbent polymer used in the
以下参考图3对作为根据本发明第一方面的吸收性物品的第二实施方案的一次性尿布进行描述。图3是一次性尿布的主要部分沿其宽度方向上的示意性截面,该一次性尿布作为本发明第一方面的吸收性物品的第二实施方案。A disposable diaper as a second embodiment of the absorbent article according to the first aspect of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 3 . Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-section of a main part of a disposable diaper as a second embodiment of the absorbent article of the first aspect of the present invention along its width direction.
只对第二实施方案中与上述之第一实施方案不同之处进行阐述。尽管没有指出,但上述对第一实施方案的描述也适用于第二实施方案相同之处。在图3中,与图1和2相同的部件用相同的数字示出。Only the difference between the second embodiment and the above-mentioned first embodiment will be described.

用在如图3所示的第二实施方案中的吸收体4包括两个或更多个层(在图3中只有两层);至少其中之一是包含上述纤维基料的层15(以后称为“纤维基料层”),而至少另外一层是包含上述超吸收聚合物或超吸收聚合物与纤维基料混合物的层16(以后称为“含聚合物层”)。这些层相互交替地叠放在一起,形成吸收体4。具有如此之结构的吸收体4是优选的,其原因如下。即使超吸收聚合物在吸收体液后发生溶涨,使得在含聚合物层16中的纤维基料的纤维之间的缠绕减少,但在纤维基料层15中的纤维基料的缠绕不会减少。因此,吸收体尽管很薄,但很难撕破或变形。The
如图3所示,含聚合物层16是设置在靠近表层材2的一侧上,而纤维基料层15设置在靠近底层材3的一侧上。通过压合,含聚合物层16和纤维基料层15相互紧密接触。As shown in FIG. 3 , the polymer-containing
吸收体4具有一个或更多的纤维基料层15(在图3中只有一层)。吸收体4中的纤维基料层15,其总的生理盐水饱和吸收度优选不低于0.1g/cm2。如果总的生理盐水饱和吸收度低于0.1g/cm2,纤维基料层就不具有足够的暂时保存体液的能力,从而会导致泄漏。生理盐水饱和吸收度越大越好。但从实际考虑,生理盐水饱和吸收度优选为0.1-10g/cm2。将在以后的实施例中对测定生理盐水饱和吸收度的方法进行描述。The
吸收体4中的纤维基料层15可以是其中放有精细纤维基料的叠置形式,或者是如纸或无纺布之类的片材形式。The
特别优选的是,至少一层纤维基料层15是由含有亲水性纤维如纸(如吸收纸)的片材或无纺布制成的。使用片材形式的纤维基料层5要优于使用其中放有精细纤维基料的叠置形式;因为前者可以防止吸收体在使用时被撕破或变形。It is particularly preferred that at least one
如果纤维基料层15是片材的话,从在实际使用中吸收体4的形状保持和降低吸收体4的厚度的角度看,优选片材的单位重量为5-200g/cm2,特别是10-100g/cm2。If the fibrous
吸收体4中的含聚合物层16是含有聚合物的层,为提高层15和16之间的粘结,优选含聚合物层16是通过以下方法形成的:在纤维基料层15上分散少量的水或含有粘合剂成分的水溶液,如乳胶,以湿润层15,然后再在其上分散预定量的超吸收聚合物。The polymer-containing
另一方面,如果含聚合物层16是包含超吸收聚合物与纤维基料之混合物的层,该层优选由50-95重量份,特别是55-75重量份的超吸收聚合物和5-45重量份,特别是25-45重量份的纤维基料组成。在此情况下,优选的是,超吸收聚合物均匀地分散在含聚合物层16上。On the other hand, if the polymer-containing
以下参考图4对作为根据本发明第一方面的吸收性物品的第三实施方案的一次性尿布进行描述。图4是一次性尿布的主要部分沿其宽度方向上的示意性截面,该一次性尿布作为本发明第一方面的吸收性物品的第三实施方案(相应于图3)。A disposable diaper as a third embodiment of the absorbent article according to the first aspect of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 4 . Fig. 4 is a schematic cross-section of a main part of a disposable diaper as a third embodiment (corresponding to Fig. 3 ) of the absorbent article of the first aspect of the present invention along its width direction.
只对该第三实施方案中与上述之第一和第二实施方案不同之处进行阐述。尽管没有指出,但上述对第一和第二实施方案的描述也适用于第三实施方案相同之处。在图4中,与图1-3相同的部件用相同的数字示出。Only the points of this third embodiment that differ from the first and second embodiments described above will be described. Although not indicated, the above description of the first and second embodiments also applies to the third embodiment in the same way. In Fig. 4, the same parts as in Figs. 1-3 are shown with the same numerals.
用在如图4所示的第三实施方案中的吸收体4包括三个层,其中,一层是包含上述超吸收聚合物或上述超吸收聚合物与纤维基料混合物的层(即上述的含聚合物层16),该层夹在两个含有相同或不同之纤维基料的层,即上述的纤维基料层15和15之间。具有如此之结构的吸收体4是优选的,其原因如下。与第二实施方案相似,尽管吸收体很薄,但很难撕破或变形。另外,由于夹在纤维基料层15和15之间,含聚合物层16中的超吸收聚合物几乎不会从吸收体4中掉落下来。The
根据所用的吸收性物品的类型或用途,夹着含聚合物层16的纤维基料层15和15可以是相同或不同的纤维基料。Depending on the type or use of the absorbent article used, the fibrous substrate layers 15 and 15 sandwiching the polymer-containing
以下参考图5对作为根据本发明第一方面的吸收性物品的第四实施方案进行描述。图5是一次性尿布的主要部分沿其宽度方向上的示意性截面,该一次性尿布作为本发明第一方面的吸收性物品的第四实施方案(相应于图3)。A fourth embodiment as the absorbent article according to the first aspect of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 5 . Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-section of a main part of a disposable diaper as a fourth embodiment (corresponding to Fig. 3 ) of the absorbent article of the first aspect of the present invention along its width direction.
只对第四实施方案中与上述之第一至第三实施方案不同之处进行阐述。尽管没有指出,但上述对第一至第三实施方案的描述也适用于第四实施方案相同之处。在图5中,与图1-4相同的部件用相同的数字示出。Only the difference between the fourth embodiment and the above-mentioned first to third embodiments will be described. Although not indicated, the above description of the first to third embodiments also applies to the fourth embodiment in the same way. In Fig. 5, the same parts as in Figs. 1-4 are shown with the same numerals.
在第四实施方案中,表层材包含热塑性树脂纤维;以吸收体的总重计,吸收体包含45-90wt%的超吸收聚合物和0.5-20wt%的热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维;而且表层材是热粘结在吸收体的热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维上的。In a fourth embodiment, the topsheet comprises thermoplastic resin fibers; the absorbent body comprises 45-90% by weight of superabsorbent polymer and 0.5-20% by weight of thermoplastic resin particles or fibers, based on the total weight of the absorbent body; and the topsheet is Thermally bonded to thermoplastic resin particles or fibers of the absorbent body.
如图5所示,吸收体4包含超吸收聚合物颗粒63以及热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维65,而且还含有作为纤维基料64的纸浆纤维。超吸收聚合物颗粒63,热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维65,和纤维基料64均匀地混合在一起并分散于吸收体4之中。As shown in FIG. 5 , the
以吸收体4的总重计,吸收体4优选包含45-90wt%的超吸收聚合物,其理由如下。如果超吸收聚合物的比例低于45wt%,吸收体的厚度必须增加,以便具有足够的吸收能力,但这样就使尿布的厚度也被增加。如果超过90wt%,吸收体的形状保持性则会较差,或者是超吸收聚合物颗粒在潮湿时会掉落下来。The
优选的是,吸收体4总重的0.5-20wt%包含热塑性树脂的颗粒或纤维。如以后所述,热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维是用来通过热粘结与表层材2和底层材3(如果需要)形成为一体,以此增加吸收体4的液体吸收率和形状保持性。因此,如果热塑性树脂的颗粒或纤维的比例低于0.5wt%,与表层材2或底层材3的热粘结就可能不牢靠。如果超过20wt%,吸收体在整体上就变成了疏水性的,或者是热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维会变成薄膜,有损于吸收性。热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维的比例优选为5-15wt%。Preferably, 0.5-20% by weight of the total weight of the
热塑性树脂可以是颗粒或纤维状的,也可以是颗粒和纤维的混合物。Thermoplastic resins can be in granular or fibrous form, or a mixture of particles and fibers.
优选的是,超吸收聚合物和热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维一共占吸收体4总重的至少45.5wt%或更多,特别是55wt%或更多。可与超吸收聚合物和热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维一起构成吸收体4的其他材料包括前述的纤维基料。如果有其他材料的话,以吸收体4的总重计,其比例优选最大至54.5wt%。Preferably, the superabsorbent polymer and thermoplastic resin particles or fibers together constitute at least 45.5% by weight or more, especially 55% by weight or more of the total weight of the
在吸收体4中,超吸收聚合物与热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维的重量比优选为99∶1-50∶50,仍优选90∶10-75∶25。如果重量比是在上述范围之内,可确保整个吸收体4的形状保持性和与表层材2的热粘结,但不会妨碍吸收性。如果在上述范围之外,吸收阻碍的防止或热粘结的程度就不充分。In the
从a)降低厚度,b)整个吸收性物品的柔软性,c)包装紧凑,及d)减少重量的角度看,吸收体4整体的单位重量优选为100-1000g/m2,特别是200-700g/m2,而且其总厚度在0.5g/cm2载荷下优选为0.5-10mm,特别是0.5-5mm。From the viewpoints of a) thickness reduction, b) softness of the entire absorbent article, c) compact packaging, and d) weight reduction, the unit weight of the
所用的热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维选自能通过热粘结与表层材2(如果需要的话,和底层材3)形成一体的那些。此类的热塑性树脂包括聚烯烃树脂,如聚乙烯和聚丙烯;聚酯树脂,如聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯;和聚酰胺树脂,如耐纶。热塑性树脂可与表层材或底层材中的相同。The thermoplastic resin particles or fibers used are selected from those capable of being integrated with the surface sheet 2 (and the
在使用颗粒状的热塑性树脂时,从均匀分散性、可加工性和吸收性阻碍的防止等方面看,颗粒的平均粒径为10-2000μm,特别是50-1000μm。When a particulate thermoplastic resin is used, the average particle diameter of the particles is 10-2000 µm, especially 50-1000 µm, from the viewpoints of uniform dispersibility, workability and prevention of absorption hindrance.
另一方面,如果使用的热塑性树脂是纤维状的,纤维可以是任何的长纤维,如连续的长丝,以及短纤维,如人造短纤维。从均匀混合性、均匀分散性、和热处理的简便上看,纤维直径优选为0.2-10旦,特别是1-6旦。特别优选的纤维是由高熔点组份和低熔点组份构成的双组份组合纤维,如芯/鞘型组合纤维和并列型组合纤维。On the other hand, if the thermoplastic resin used is fibrous, the fibers may be any of long fibers such as continuous filaments and short fibers such as staple fibers. The fiber diameter is preferably 0.2-10 denier, especially 1-6 denier, from the standpoint of uniform mixing property, uniform dispersibility, and ease of heat treatment. Particularly preferred fibers are bicomponent composite fibers composed of a high-melting point component and a low-melting point component, such as core/sheath type composite fibers and side-by-side type composite fibers.
如图5所示,在吸收体4中的热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维65与包含热塑性树脂的表层材2是通过热粘结而被粘结在一起的。具体而言,热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维65的至少一部分与表层材2热粘结在一起,这样,吸收体4和表层材2粘结成一个整体。通过热粘结,吸收体4和表层材2形成一个整体,但对透过性和液体吸收性没有影响。其结果是,吸收体4的形状保持性得到提高;减少了由于扭曲或变形导致的泄漏;而且在穿戴时尿布也可有良好的外观。如以上所述,并不需要将全部的热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维65热粘结在表层材2上。所需要的是,至少是邻近表层材2的热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维65热粘结在表层材2上,由此使表层材2和吸收体4形成一个整体。As shown in FIG. 5, the thermoplastic resin particles or fibers 65 in the
还优选的是,热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维6 5在吸收体4的内部相互热粘结在一起,形成立体网状结构。该立体网状结构不仅能有效地防止超吸收聚合物颗粒63在溶涨时发生凝胶阻塞,而且还可以进一步提高吸收体4的形状保持性。It is also preferable that the thermoplastic resin particles or fibers 65 are thermally bonded to each other inside the
在此所用术语“形成一个整体”是指,表层材2和吸收体4具有如下程度的形状保持性,即:当尿布被液体如水弄湿时,它们仍保持给定的形状,而没有相互分离开。The term "integrated" as used herein means that the
如图5所示,还优选的是,吸收体4中的热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维65与含有热塑性树脂的底层材3通过热粘结形成一个整体。在此情况下,吸收体4的形状保持性可得到进一步的提高;进一步减少由于扭曲或变形导致的泄漏;而且尿布在穿戴时的外观更好。As shown in Fig. 5, it is also preferable that the thermoplastic resin particles or fibers 65 in the
根据该实施方案的一次性尿布1优选通过以下方法来制造:叠加表层材2,超吸收聚合物颗粒63、热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维65和纤维基料64的均匀混合物,然后在其上再叠加底层材3,用预定温度热空气或通过热凹凸压印将所得结构热粘结在一起,由此使表层材2,热塑性树脂颗粒或纤维65,和底层材3形成一个整体。The disposable diaper 1 according to this embodiment is preferably manufactured by laminating a
在本发明中,通过至少单轴向拉伸包含聚烯烃和填料的片材而得到的微孔片材用作底层材3是特别优选的。In the present invention, a microporous sheet obtained by at least uniaxially stretching a sheet comprising polyolefin and filler is particularly preferable for use as the
该优选使用的微孔片材包括通过在至少一个方向上拉伸包含结晶聚烯烃树脂和化合物(填料)的混合物之模塑片材而得到片材,其中所述化合物在熔融状态下与结晶聚烯烃互溶,但在结晶聚烯烃树脂的结晶温度时或低于此温度时,该化合物与结晶聚烯烃发生析相作用(以下称为微孔片材A)。The preferably used microporous sheet includes a sheet obtained by stretching in at least one direction a molded sheet comprising a mixture of a crystalline polyolefin resin and a compound (filler), wherein the compound is mixed with a crystalline polyolefin in a molten state. Olefins are mutually soluble, but at or below the crystallization temperature of the crystalline polyolefin resin, phase separation occurs between the compound and the crystalline polyolefin (hereinafter referred to as microporous sheet A).
虽无限制,结晶聚烯烃包括低密度聚乙烯,中密度聚乙烯,高密度聚乙烯,线性低密度聚乙烯,乙烯-乙酸乙烯酯共聚物,乙烯-丙烯酸共聚物,聚丙烯,乙烯-丙烯共聚物,丙烯-丁烯共聚物,离聚物树脂,和它们的高分子共混物。它们之中优选的是:聚丙烯树脂,聚丙烯树脂和乙烯-丙烯共聚物树脂的高分子共混物,以及聚丙烯树脂和聚乙烯树脂的高分子共混物。部分的结晶聚烯烃树脂可用聚酯树脂替换,如聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯和聚对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯,其比例以不损及结晶聚烯烃固有的性能为宜。Without limitation, crystalline polyolefins include low density polyethylene, medium density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene copolymer Polymers, propylene-butene copolymers, ionomer resins, and their polymer blends. Preferred among them are polypropylene resins, polymer blends of polypropylene resins and ethylene-propylene copolymer resins, and polymer blends of polypropylene resins and polyethylene resins. Part of the crystalline polyolefin resin can be replaced by polyester resin, such as polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate, and the ratio is appropriate not to damage the inherent properties of crystalline polyolefin.
结晶聚烯烃树脂优选具有15g/10min或更低,特别是0.2-12g/10min的熔体指数,其理由如下。熔体指数为15g/10min或更低的结晶聚烯烃树脂可提供片材形成过程中所需的熔体张力,而且能以稳定的方式高速模制成片材。如果熔体指数低于0.2g/10min,就需要高的能量来挤出形成片材,这使得生产性降低。在此所用术语“熔体指数”是根据ASTM D-1238得到的数值,即:对于聚丙烯和聚乙烯共聚物,载荷为2.16kgf,温度为230℃;对于聚乙烯,载荷为2.16kgf,温度为190℃。The crystalline polyolefin resin preferably has a melt index of 15 g/10 min or less, particularly 0.2 to 12 g/10 min, for the following reasons. A crystalline polyolefin resin having a melt index of 15 g/10 min or less can provide the melt tension required during sheet formation and can be molded into a sheet at high speed in a stable manner. If the melt index is lower than 0.2 g/10 min, high energy is required for extrusion into a sheet, which lowers productivity. The term "melt index" used here is the value obtained according to ASTM D-1238, namely: for polypropylene and polyethylene copolymers, the load is 2.16kgf, the temperature is 230 ° C; for polyethylene, the load is 2.16kgf, the temperature is 190°C.
化合物(填料)--混合物中的另一组份,是在熔融状态下与结晶聚烯烃互溶,但在结晶聚烯烃树脂的结晶温度时或低于此温度时,与结晶聚烯烃发生析相作用的化合物。虽无限制,该化合物包括各种的烃类,如液体石蜡,α-烯烃低聚物,矿物油,合成润滑油,溶剂油,和石蜡;以及各种的脂肪羧酸与(多元)醇的酯类,如苯二甲酸二辛酯,苯二甲酸二乙酯,三羟甲基丙烷月桂酸酯,己二酸二硬脂基酯,和1,2,4,5-苯四酸四辛酯。矿物油,合成润滑油,石蜡,以及脂肪羧酸与(多元)醇的酯是它们之中优选的。部分混合物可用斥水剂,如硅油来替换,其比例以小至不损及混合物所固有的性能为宜。Compound (filler)-another component in the mixture is miscible with crystalline polyolefin in molten state, but phase separation occurs with crystalline polyolefin at or below the crystallization temperature of crystalline polyolefin resin compound of. The compounds include, without limitation, various hydrocarbons, such as liquid paraffin, α-olefin oligomers, mineral oil, synthetic lubricating oil, mineral spirits, and paraffin; and various combinations of fatty carboxylic acids and (poly)alcohols Esters such as dioctyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, trimethylolpropane laurate, distearyl adipate, and tetraoctyl pyromellitate ester. Mineral oils, synthetic lubricating oils, paraffins, and esters of fatty carboxylic acids and (poly)alcohols are preferred among them. Part of the mixture can be replaced by a water-repellent agent, such as silicone oil, and the proportion should be as small as not to damage the inherent performance of the mixture.
混合物优选由50-90重量份的结晶聚烯烃树脂和10-50重量份的化合物构成。如果化合物的量低于10重量份,混合物就不能使微孔片材A具有足够的透湿性。如果超过50重量份,所得的微孔片材A的机械强度则不足,而且在长期储存时化合物会从微孔片材A渗出。混合物优选由60-80重量份,特别是60-75重量份的结晶聚烯烃树脂和20-40重量份,特别是25-40重量份的化合物构成。The mixture is preferably composed of 50-90 parts by weight of the crystalline polyolefin resin and 10-50 parts by weight of the compound. If the amount of the compound is less than 10 parts by weight, the mixture cannot impart sufficient moisture permeability to the microporous sheet A. If it exceeds 50 parts by weight, the mechanical strength of the obtained microporous sheet A is insufficient, and the compound bleeds out from the microporous sheet A during long-term storage. The mixture is preferably composed of 60-80 parts by weight, especially 60-75 parts by weight of the crystalline polyolefin resin and 20-40 parts by weight, especially 25-40 parts by weight of the compound.
如果需要,除结晶聚烯烃树脂和化合物外,混合物中还可包含其他的添加剂,如成核剂。优选使用成核剂,以增加结晶聚烯烃的结晶度。每100重量份的混合物中,成核剂的优选使用量为0.01-3重量份,优选0.05-1重量份,其理由如下。如果成核剂的量低于0.01重量份,就不能产生足够的成核作用。如果超过3重量份,所得的微孔片材A则不具有足够的透湿性。In addition to the crystalline polyolefin resin and compound, the mixture may contain other additives, such as nucleating agents, if desired. Nucleating agents are preferably used to increase the crystallinity of the crystalline polyolefin. The nucleating agent is preferably used in an amount of 0.01 to 3 parts by weight, preferably 0.05 to 1 part by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the mixture, for the following reasons. If the amount of the nucleating agent is less than 0.01 parts by weight, sufficient nucleation cannot be produced. If it exceeds 3 parts by weight, the resulting microporous sheet A does not have sufficient moisture permeability.
虽无限制,可用的成核剂包括1.3-,2.4-二亚苄基山梨醇,1.3-,2.4-双(对甲基亚苄基)山梨醇,1.3-,2.4-双(对乙基亚苄基)山梨醇,双(4-特丁基苯基)磷酸钠,己二酸,苯甲酸,苯甲酸钠,滑石,二氧化钛和高岭土。Although not limited, useful nucleating agents include 1.3-, 2.4-dibenzylidene sorbitol, 1.3-, 2.4-bis(p-methylbenzylidene)sorbitol, 1.3-, 2.4-bis(p-ethylbenzylidene) Benzyl)sorbitol, sodium bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)phosphate, adipic acid, benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, talc, titanium dioxide and kaolin.
可以混入混合物中的其他添加剂包括无机填料(如碳酸钙),稳定剂(如抗氧剂),抗静电剂,有机颜料,和染料。这些添加剂的使用量为每100重量份混合物0.01-10重量份,优选0.1-5重量份。Other additives that may be incorporated into the mixture include inorganic fillers (such as calcium carbonate), stabilizers (such as antioxidants), antistatic agents, organic pigments, and dyes. These additives are used in an amount of 0.01-10 parts by weight, preferably 0.1-5 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the mixture.
混合物是通过吹膜挤出或T型冲模挤出而被模塑成片材的,然后至少单轴向拉伸所得片材,以得到具有连续微孔和透湿性的片材。以在至少一个方向上的面积计,优选以拉伸比为1.2-5来进行拉伸。如果拉伸比低于1.2,就不能形成足够的微孔,以提供足够的透湿性。如果拉伸比超过5,因为片材在拉伸时会被撕裂或者是得到片材很容易被撕破,所以难以进行稳定的生产。为保证满意的质地和足够的透湿性,仍优选1.2-3的拉伸比。The mixture is molded into a sheet by blown film extrusion or T-die extrusion, and the resulting sheet is stretched at least uniaxially to obtain a sheet having continuous microporosity and moisture permeability. Stretching is preferably performed at a stretch ratio of 1.2 to 5 in terms of area in at least one direction. If the draw ratio is lower than 1.2, sufficient microvoids cannot be formed to provide sufficient moisture permeability. If the draw ratio exceeds 5, stable production is difficult because the sheet is torn when stretched or the resulting sheet is easily torn. In order to ensure satisfactory texture and sufficient moisture permeability, a stretch ratio of 1.2-3 is still preferred.
进行拉伸时可以用单轴辊拉伸机用于单轴拉伸,或者是用拉幅机或心轴拉伸机用于同时或连续的双轴向拉伸。在拉伸的同时可加热片材。Stretching may be performed with a uniaxial roll stretcher for uniaxial stretching, or with a tenter or mandrel stretcher for simultaneous or continuous biaxial stretching. The sheet may be heated while stretching.
优选用于本发明之中的微孔片材还包括通过在至少一个方向上拉伸包含结晶聚烯烃树脂和与结晶聚烯烃树脂不相容的热塑性树脂或填料的混合物之模塑片材而得到的片材(以下称为微孔片材B)。Microporous sheets preferably used in the present invention also include those obtained by stretching in at least one direction a molded sheet comprising a mixture of a crystalline polyolefin resin and a thermoplastic resin or filler incompatible with the crystalline polyolefin resin The sheet (hereinafter referred to as microporous sheet B).
可用于此的填料包括通常用于橡胶或塑料之中的那些,如无机填料,如碳酸钙、石膏、硫酸钙、磷酸钙、碳酸镁、硫酸镁、水合硅酸、无水硅酸、钠碱灰、氯化钠、硫酸钠、硫酸钡、滑石、粘土、各种的石灰、火山灰、shirasu,二氧化钛、氧化铁和碳黑;各种的金属粉末;其他的无机物质;和主要包括无机物质的有机金属盐。填料中还包括热固性树脂,如酚醛树脂、环氧树脂、和聚丙烯酸钠;交联(通过辐射诱导)的热塑性树脂,如聚乙烯、聚丙烯、和聚丙烯酸酯;和熔点高于结晶聚烯烃之模塑温度的树脂。所希望的是,这些填料以颗粒的形式使用,其平均粒径不大于50μm,特别是在约0.05-30μm,尤其是约0.1-5μm。Fillers that can be used here include those commonly used in rubber or plastics, such as inorganic fillers such as calcium carbonate, gypsum, calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium sulfate, hydrated silicic acid, anhydrous silicic acid, sodium alkali Ash, sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, barium sulfate, talc, clay, various kinds of lime, pozzolan, shirasu, titanium dioxide, iron oxide and carbon black; various metal powders; other inorganic substances; and those consisting mainly of inorganic substances organometallic salts. Also included in the filler are thermosetting resins such as phenolic resins, epoxy resins, and sodium polyacrylates; crosslinked (by radiation-induced) thermoplastic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyacrylates; and crystalline polyolefins with melting points higher than resin at the molding temperature. Desirably, these fillers are used in the form of particles having an average particle size of not more than 50 μm, especially between about 0.05-30 μm, especially about 0.1-5 μm.
填料的优选使用量为每100重量份结晶聚烯烃50-400重量份,特别是60-300重量份。如果填料的量低于50重量份,在所得的微孔片材B中形成的连续微孔数量就会减少,导致透湿性下降。如果超过400重量份,片材的形成以及后续的拉伸就很难进行。The filler is preferably used in an amount of 50-400 parts by weight, especially 60-300 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of crystalline polyolefin. If the amount of the filler is less than 50 parts by weight, the number of continuous pores formed in the resulting microporous sheet B decreases, resulting in a decrease in moisture permeability. If it exceeds 400 parts by weight, sheet formation and subsequent stretching are difficult.
填料优选与软化剂联合使用。通常用于橡胶和塑料之中的增塑剂和润滑剂都可用作软化剂。可用的软化剂的例子包括由脂肪酸和脂肪醇制得的单酯,由芳香羧酸和脂肪醇制得的单或多元酯,由脂肪多元羧酸和多元醇制得的多元酯,由单羧酸和/或多元羧酸与单元醇和/或多元醇制得的多元酯,具有残留醇羟基和/或残留羧基的酯或多元酯,脂肪酰胺,芳香酰胺,脂肪酸的金属皂,芳香羧酸的金属皂,二丁烯低聚物,丁烯低聚物,异丁烯低聚物,异戊二烯低聚物,石油树脂,苯并呋喃树脂,酮树脂,氯化石蜡,硅油,液体石蜡,和聚乙烯蜡。Fillers are preferably used in combination with softeners. Plasticizers and lubricants commonly used in rubber and plastics can be used as softeners.

现将参考附图6-9对本发明之第二方面的优选实施方案进行描述。图6-9分别示意性表示用于本发明第二方面中的吸收性物品的优选实施方案的吸收体结构的放大横截面图。A preferred embodiment of the second aspect of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings 6-9. 6 to 9 schematically show enlarged cross-sectional views of the structure of the absorbent body of a preferred embodiment of the absorbent article used in the second aspect of the present invention, respectively.
只对这些实施方案中与本发明第一方面之第一至第四实施方案不同之处进行阐述。尽管没有指出,但上述对第一至第四实施方案的描述也适用于本发明第二方面的相同之处。在图6-9中,与图1-5相同的部件用相同的数字示出。Only those embodiments which differ from the first to fourth embodiments of the first aspect of the invention are described. Although not indicated, the above description of the first to fourth embodiments also applies to the same of the second aspect of the present invention. In Figs. 6-9, the same parts as in Figs. 1-5 are shown with the same numerals.
根据这些实施方案的一次性尿布在结构上与图1所示的相同,其不同之处在于:吸收体具有第一吸收层和第二吸收层,第一吸收层包含满足上述条件(3)的超吸收聚合物(A),而第二吸收层包含满足以下条件(4)的超吸收聚合物(B);超吸收聚合物(A)和超吸收聚合物(B)以基本上不能相互混在一起的形式而存在;而且第一吸收层设置在靠近表层材一侧,而第二吸收层设置在靠近底层材一侧。Disposable diapers according to these embodiments are structurally the same as those shown in FIG. 1 except that the absorbent body has a first absorbent layer and a second absorbent layer, and the first absorbent layer contains The superabsorbent polymer (A), and the second absorbent layer comprises a superabsorbent polymer (B) satisfying the following condition (4); the superabsorbent polymer (A) and the superabsorbent polymer (B) are not substantially mixed and the first absorbent layer is arranged on the side close to the surface material, while the second absorbent layer is arranged on the side close to the bottom material.
(4)所述超吸收聚合物(B)的生理盐水吸收率不少于5g/30sec/0.3g,此值是根据需容湿润性(DW)法测得的。(4) The physiological saline absorption rate of the superabsorbent polymer (B) is not less than 5g/30sec/0.3g, which value is measured according to the demand wettability (DW) method.
在此所用“基本上不相互混在一起”是指,超吸收聚合物(A)和超吸收聚合物(B)的存在不相互损及它们各自的特性。As used herein, "substantially not mixed with each other" means that the presence of superabsorbent polymer (A) and superabsorbent polymer (B) does not impair their respective properties mutually.
超吸收聚合物(A)和超吸收聚合物(B)基本上不相互混在一起优选是通过以下方式实现的:(i)由超吸收聚合物(A)或(B)与纤维基料的混合物形成第一吸收层和第二吸收层中的至少一个,或者是(ii)通过包含纤维基料的纤维基料层将第一吸收层和第二吸收层分别堆放。The substantially non-mixing of superabsorbent polymer (A) and superabsorbent polymer (B) with each other is preferably achieved by (i) a mixture of superabsorbent polymer (A) or (B) with a fiber base At least one of the first absorbent layer and the second absorbent layer is formed, or (ii) the first absorbent layer and the second absorbent layer are separately stacked by a fibrous base material layer comprising a fibrous base material.
还可能的是,由超吸收聚合物(A)组成的第一吸收层和由超吸收聚合物(B)组成的第二吸收层相互堆放在一起。在此情况下,尽管很难完全相互分开超吸收聚合物(A)和超吸收聚合物(B),只要是聚合物的特性没有被相互损及,就可以认为此程度的混合是基本上不相互混在一起。例如,如果以超吸收聚合物(A)的总重计,第一吸收层在其与第二吸收层的界面的邻近部分,特别是在界面中包含低于30wt%的超吸收聚合物(B),这种程度的混合可以认为是基本上不相互混在一起的状态。It is also possible that the first absorbent layer composed of superabsorbent polymer (A) and the second absorbent layer composed of superabsorbent polymer (B) are stacked on top of each other. In this case, although it is difficult to completely separate the superabsorbent polymer (A) and superabsorbent polymer (B) from each other, as long as the properties of the polymers are not impaired each other, it is considered that mixing to this extent is basically unnecessary. mixed with each other. For example, if the first absorbent layer comprises less than 30% by weight of the superabsorbent polymer (B) in the vicinity of its interface with the second absorbent layer, especially in the interface, based on the total weight of the superabsorbent polymer (A). ), this degree of mixing can be considered as a state that basically does not mix with each other.
对于超吸收聚合物(A),对本发明之第一方面的描述也适用。另一方面,超吸收聚合物(B)是满足以下条件(4)的聚合物。For the superabsorbent polymer (A), the description for the first aspect of the invention also applies. On the other hand, the superabsorbent polymer (B) is a polymer satisfying the following condition (4).
(4)所述超吸收聚合物(B)的生理盐水吸收率(以下有时简称为水吸收率)不少于5g/30sec/0.3g,优选为6-15g/30sec/0.3g,此值是根据需容湿润性(DW)法测得的。(4) The absorption rate of physiological saline (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as water absorption rate) of the superabsorbent polymer (B) is not less than 5g/30sec/0.3g, preferably 6-15g/30sec/0.3g, and this value is Measured according to the demand wettability (DW) method.
如果上述的水吸收率低于5g/30sec/0.3g,超吸收聚合物本身吸收液体过快,导致保持排泄液体的能力下降,而且因此不能减少纤维基料的量。If the above-mentioned water absorption rate is lower than 5g/30sec/0.3g, the superabsorbent polymer itself absorbs liquid too quickly, resulting in decreased ability to retain excreted liquid, and thus cannot reduce the amount of the fibrous base material.
以后将在实施例中描述测定水吸收率的DW法。The DW method for measuring the water absorption rate will be described later in Examples.
只要满足条件(4),对超吸收聚合物(B)就没有特别的限制。合适的超吸收聚合物(B)的例子是:聚丙烯酸钠,丙烯酸-乙烯醇共聚物,交联的聚丙烯酸钠,淀粉-丙烯酸接枝共聚物,异丁烯-马来酸酐共聚物及其的皂化产物,聚丙烯酸钾,和聚丙烯酸铯。这些聚合物以颗粒或纤维的形式使用。As long as the condition (4) is satisfied, the superabsorbent polymer (B) is not particularly limited. Examples of suitable superabsorbent polymers (B) are: sodium polyacrylate, acrylic acid-vinyl alcohol copolymers, crosslinked sodium polyacrylates, starch-acrylic acid graft copolymers, isobutylene-maleic anhydride copolymers and their saponification products, potassium polyacrylate, and cesium polyacrylate. These polymers are used in the form of particles or fibers.
以(A)和(B)的总重为100计,超吸收聚合物(A)和(B)的重量比优选为90-30∶10-70,特别是80-50∶20-50。Based on the total weight of (A) and (B) as 100, the weight ratio of superabsorbent polymers (A) and (B) is preferably 90-30:10-70, especially 80-50:20-50.
如果超吸收聚合物(A)的比超过90,排泄液体的保持能力则会下降。如果低于30,就会发生凝胶阻塞,导致吸收性能的降低。If the ratio of the superabsorbent polymer (A) exceeds 90, the retaining ability of excreted liquid will decrease. If it is lower than 30, gel blocking occurs, resulting in lowered absorbency.
从获得薄型的吸收性物品的角度看,超吸收聚合物(A)和超吸收聚合物(B)的总重优选不低于吸收体总重的45wt%,特别是45-90wt%,尤其是50-80wt%。From the viewpoint of obtaining a thin absorbent article, the total weight of superabsorbent polymer (A) and superabsorbent polymer (B) is preferably not less than 45% by weight of the total weight of the absorbent body, especially 45-90% by weight, especially 50-80wt%.
