Liquid-absorbent polymers are prepared by a process for the gel and/or surface postcrosslinking of water-absorbent polymers by the polymer being treated with a surface postcrosslinking solution and being postcrosslinked and dried during and after the treatment by raising the temperature, wherein the surface postcrosslinking solution comprises as crosslinker a compound of the formula IwhereR1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently hydrogen, C1-C12-alkyl, C1-C12-alkenyl, C6-C12-aryl or C1-C12-alkoxy,R5 is C1-C16-alkyl, C1-C4-hydroxyalkyl, C6-C12-aryl, C1-C16-alkenyl or a group of the formula -(CH2)n-COOH or -(CH2)n-SO3H in the form of the acid or a respective metal salt, ammonium salt or triethanolammonium salt thereof or -(CH2-CH2-O-)m-R6,R6 is hydrogen or C1-C16-alkyl,n is from 1 to 10,m is from 1 to 20dissolved in an inert solvent,and are used in hygiene articles, packaging materials and nonwovens.
