A method for sealing an absorbent member

摘要

A method for sealing an absorbent member. A web (110) including a fibrous material and superabsorbent material is fed to a knife (120). The web has a first surface (146), a second surface (148), a first side edge (140) and a second side edge (142). The knife (120) cuts the web (110) into individual absorbent members having a pair of opposing cut ends. The individual absorbent members have a first surface, a second surface, a first side edge, the second side edge, a first end edge and a second end edge, with the first and second end edges corresponding to the cut ends. A superabsorbent material movement obstruction agent is applied to the first and second end edges. <IMAGE>
