Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a water-absorbing resin by polymerization of a reaction mixture comprising at least one hydrophilic monomer and optionally at least one cross-linker, in a reactor. According to said method, at least one first fraction of a particulate additive is admixed to the reaction mixture before the reaction mixture reaches a dwell time of 40 % of the total dwell time in the reactor, and at least one second fraction of a particulate additive is admixed when the reaction mixture reaches a dwell time of 45 % or more of the total dwell time in the reactor. The additive is selected from the group of water-adsorbing resin powders, fillers and mixtures thereof, the total solids content of the monomer and the additive being 30 to 60 % by weight, the amount of the additive being 5 to 50 % by weight, based on the monomer, and the weight ratio of the first fraction to the second fraction of the additive being 10:1 to 1:5. The resin powder is constituted of, e.g., recycled fines. Bot the residual monomer content, especially the residual cross-linker content, and the content in extractable substances of the water-absorbing resin are reduced by the described manner of admixture. A high percentage of additives can be incorporated without deteriorating the properties of the water-absorbing resin so obtained. The additives form a sufficiently strong compound with the resin without excessive dust formation when the resin is exposed to mechanical stress.
