Polymers with a high rate of absorption for aqueous liquids.

摘要

Water-soluble or water-dilutable natural or synthetic polymers with a marked capacity for absorbing water and aqueous fluids are obtained by an agglomeration of a fine-particle powdered starting material by means of a solution or dispersion of an agglomerating agent in water, an organic solvent miscible or immiscible with water or a mixture of water and an organic solvent of this type, and if necessary other agglomerating additives. Also described are the process for preparing them and their use as absorbants, disposable sanitary products, for example diapers and sanitary napkins, containing a polymer as described in claim 1 as an absorbant for body fluids such as water and/or urine.
