    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the surface secondary cross-linking of water-absorbent polymers, according to which the polymer is sprayed with a solution for surface secondary cross-linking. As cross-linking agent said solution contains phosphoric acid esters of the formula (1) or (2), where X is OH or NH2 and R is C1-C12 alkylene, or a mixture of such esters dissolved in an inert solvent. The moist product during or after spraying is subjected to secondary cross-linking and dried by raising the temperature to 50-250 ~C. The invention also relates to water-absorbent polymers obtainable in accordance with the above method and to their use in hygiene articles, packing materials and non-woven materials.
