Abstract:
The invention relates to a cross-linked, water-swellable polymer that contains polymerized into it moieties of a) water-soluble, monoethylenically unsaturated monomers, and b) 0.001 to 5 mole % based on the monomers a) of a cross-linking combination, b1) a first cross-linking agent with at least two (meth)acrylic ester moieties in the molecule and b2) a second cross-linking agent with at least two (meth)allyloxy moieties in the molecule, the molar ratio of b1) to b2) ranging from 0.7:1 to 10:1. The polymer according to the invention has a balanced property profile as regards absorptivity, gel strength, absorption speed and extractable components and can be advantageously produced by a continuous method.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel tocopherol-containing superabsorbents, to a process for preparing them using tocopherol-containing acid-functional monomers, especially acrylic acid, and to their use for absorbing aqueous fluids.
Abstract:
Preparation of low odor hydrogel-forming polymerisate based on acrylic acid involving preparation of a polymeric hydrogel by radical polymerization of acrylic acid containing monomer in an aqueous polymerization medium and conversion of the hydrogel into a particulate hydrogel or hydrogel forming powder, and treatment of these with a crosslinking substance having at least two latent functional groups reactive to the polymerisate carboxyl groups is new. A process for preparation of low odor hydrogel-forming polymerisate based on acrylic acid including the steps; (a) preparation of a polymeric hydrogel by radical polymerization of at least 50 wt.% of acrylic acid containing monomer composition in an aqueous polymerization medium and conversion of the hydrogel into a particulate hydrogel or a hydrogel forming powder, and optionally treatment of these with a crosslinking substance having at least two latent functional groups reactive to the polymerisate carboxyl groups, where in step (a) the acrylic acid contains at least 500 ppm of acrylic acid oligomer.
