Definitions
- the present invention relates to a thin water-absorbing sheet composition that can be used in the field of sanitary materials. More specifically, the present invention relates to a water-absorbent sheet composition having extremely low pulp, which has a high absorption performance even in a thin shape and can be suitably used for absorbent articles such as paper diapers and incontinence pads. Furthermore, this invention relates to the absorbent article which uses this water absorbing sheet composition.
- Body fluid absorbent articles typified by paper diapers, etc., have an absorbent body that absorbs fluids such as body fluid, a flexible liquid-permeable surface sheet (top sheet) placed on the side in contact with the body, and the opposite side in contact with the body And a liquid impervious back sheet (back sheet) disposed between the two.
- a flexible liquid-permeable surface sheet top sheet placed on the side in contact with the body, and the opposite side in contact with the body
- back sheet a liquid impervious back sheet
- An absorber using a low ratio of hydrophilic fibers and using a large amount of water-absorbing resin is preferable for thinning from the viewpoint of reducing bulky hydrophilic fibers and retaining liquid.
- so-called “gel blocking phenomenon” occurs when a large amount of water-absorbing resin becomes a soft gel by absorption, The liquid diffusibility is remarkably lowered and the liquid permeation rate of the absorber is slow.
- This “gel blocking phenomenon” means that when a dense absorbent body absorbs a liquid, the water absorbent resin existing near the surface layer absorbs the liquid, and the soft gel becomes denser near the surface layer. This is a phenomenon in which the penetration of the liquid into the absorber is hindered and the water absorbent resin inside cannot absorb the liquid efficiently.
- an absorbent body with reduced hydrophilic fibers that contribute to form retention is reduced in strength as the absorbent body, and is liable to cause deformation such as kinking and tearing before or after absorption of the liquid.
- the deformed absorber is not able to exhibit the original ability of the absorber because the diffusibility of the liquid is significantly reduced. If an attempt is made to avoid such a phenomenon, the ratio between the hydrophilic fiber and the water-absorbent resin is limited, and there is a limit in reducing the thickness of the absorbent article.
- the surface of the water-absorbent resin is covered with the adhesive, and the absorption performance tends to decrease.

- the adhesive strength of the absorbent laminate is weakened in order to improve the absorption performance, when the laminate is processed, the water-absorbing resin will drop off greatly, which is not economically preferable, and the laminate will peel off due to insufficient strength. Therefore, the commercial value may be lost. That is, if the adhesion is strengthened, a gel blocking phenomenon or a liquid leakage occurs, and if the adhesion is weakened, the water-absorbent resin is dropped or the laminate is destroyed. The thing is not obtained.
- the synthetic fibrous base material enters the polymer particles and is firmly fixed, but it is difficult to complete the polymerization reaction in the base material, and there is a disadvantage that unreacted residual monomers increase. Have.
- a laminate having a five-layer structure that improves homogeneity and effectively uses a water-absorbing resin is disclosed (see Patent Document 6).

〔1〕 吸水性樹脂及び接着剤を含有してなる吸収層が、2枚以上の親水性不織布により挟持された構造を有する吸水シート組成物であって、当該吸収層が1次吸収層と2次吸収層とに分画されてなる構造を有し、
(1)1次吸収層に用いられる吸水性樹脂の中位粒径及び2次吸収層に用いられる吸水性樹脂の中位粒径が100~600μm、
(2)1次吸収層に用いられる吸水性樹脂の生理食塩水吸水速度が20~70秒間、
(3)2次吸収層に用いられる吸水性樹脂の生理食塩水吸水速度が1~20秒間、並びに
(4)(1次吸収層に用いられる吸水性樹脂の生理食塩水吸水速度)-(2次吸収層に用いられる吸水性樹脂の生理食塩水吸水速度)が10秒間以上、である、吸水シート組成物;並びに
〔2〕 前記〔1〕に記載の吸水シート組成物を、液体透過性シート及び液体不透過性シートで挟持してなる吸収性物品;に関するものである。
吸水性樹脂2.0gを、綿袋(メンブロード60番、横100mm×縦200mm)中に計り取り、500mL容のビーカーに入れた。綿袋に生理食塩水(0.9質量%塩化ナトリウム水溶液、以下同様)500gを一度に注ぎ込み、吸水性樹脂のママコが発生しないように生理食塩水を分散させた。綿袋の上部を輪ゴムで縛り、1時間放置して、吸水性樹脂を十分に膨潤させた。遠心力が167Gとなるよう設定した脱水機(国産遠心機株式会社製、品番:H-122)を用いて綿袋を1分間脱水し、脱水後の膨潤ゲルを含んだ綿袋の質量Wa(g)を測定した。吸水性樹脂を添加せずに同様の操作を行い、綿袋の湿潤時空質量Wb(g)を測定し、次式により吸水性樹脂の生理食塩水保水能を求めた。
吸水性樹脂の生理食塩水保水能(g/g)=[Wa-Wb](g)/吸水性樹脂の質量(g)
吸水性樹脂の初期吸水速度及び有効吸水量は、図2に示す測定装置を用いて測定した。
台3中心部の導管口から出てくる0.9質量%食塩水の水面と、測定台3の上面とが同じ高さになるように測定台3の高さの調整を行った。
用いた。
本試験は、25℃±1℃に調節された室内で行った。100mL容のビーカーに、生理食塩水50±0.1gを量りとり、マグネチックスターラーバー(8mmφ×30mmのリング無し)を投入し、ビーカーを恒温水槽に浸漬して、液温を25±0.2℃に調節した。次に、マグネチックスターラー上にビーカーを置いて、回転数600r/minとして、生理食塩水に渦を発生させた後、吸水性樹脂2.0±0.002gを、前記ビーカーに素早く添加し、ストップウォッチを用いて、吸水性樹脂の添加後から液面の渦が収束する時点までの時間(秒)を測定し、吸水性樹脂の生理食塩水吸水速度とした。
別に規定のない限り、吸水性樹脂の粒径を中位粒径として規定し、次のようにして測定した。吸水性樹脂100gに、滑剤として、0.5gの非晶質シリカ(デグサジャパン(株)、Sipernat 200)を混合した。
JIS-K6720-2 (1999)、塩化ビニル樹脂試験方法の「4.3 かさ比重」に準拠して測定した。
得られた吸水シート組成物の厚みは、厚み測定器(株式会社尾崎製作所製、型番:J-B)を用いて測定した。測定箇所として、長手方向に左端、中央、右端の3箇所を任意に決め、例えば10×30cmの場合、左から3cmを左端、15cmを中央、27cmを右端とした。幅方向は均等な中央部を測定した。厚みの測定値は各箇所で3回測定して平均した。さらに、左端、中央、右端の値を平均して、吸水シート組成物全体の厚みとした。
吸水シート組成物の強度は以下の方法によって評価した。
得られた吸水シート組成物を10×10cmの大きさにカットした。次いで2枚の10×10cmアクリル板(質量約60g)の各片面の全面に両面テープを貼り付けた。図3に示すように、アクリル板21、22の対角線が45度を成すように、かつ両面テープが吸水シート組成物23側を向くように上下から挟みこんで、動かないよう圧着した。
吸水シート組成物の触感は以下の方法によって評価した。
得られた吸水シート組成物を10×10cmの大きさにカットした。10名のパネラーを選出し、以下の基準によって触感を3段階評価してもらい、パネラーの評価値を平均することで、吸水シート組成物の触感を評価した。
段階B:表面の感触は滑らかであるが、粒状感を感じる。表面にわずかな付着物が見られる(評価値:3)。
段階C:表面にゴツゴツとした感触があり不快。表面に粉の付着が見られる(評価値:1)。
後述する実施例、比較例に記載された製造プロセスに従って、同じ吸水シート組成物を
5回連続で製造した。
吸水シート組成物を10×30cmの短冊状で、長手方向が親水性不織布の縦方向(機械方向)となるように切断したものを、サンプルとして使用した。
逆戻り量(g)=Wf-We
傾斜における漏れ試験は、図4に示す装置を用いて行った。 概略としては、市販の実験設備用の架台31を用いて、アクリル板32を傾斜させて固定した後、板上に載置した吸水シート組成物33に鉛直上方から滴下ロート34で前記の試験液を投入し、漏れ量を天秤35で計量する機構である。以下に詳細な仕様を示す。
