Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for producing water-absorbing polymer particles with high free swell rate and high permeability by polymerization of an aqueous monomer solution or suspension to give an aqueous polymer gel, wherein a thermal blowing agent essentially free of inorganic acid anions is mixed into the polymer gel, and subsequent thermal drying of the polymer gel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Water-absorbing polymer particles having a centrifuge retention capacity (CRC), a free swell rate (FSR), and a permeability (SFC) which meet the conditions FSR (g/gs)≧0.01·CRC (g/g)−0.08 and SFC (10 −7 ·cm 3 s/g)≧11000·exp(−0.18·CRC(g/g)). 2. Water-absorbing polymer particles according to claim 1 , wherein the water-absorbing polymer particles have a centrifuge retention capacity (CRC) of at least 26 g/g. 3. Water-absorbing particles according to claim 2 , wherein the water-absorbing polymer particles have a free swell rate (FSR) of at least 0.2 g/gs. 4. Water-absorbing particles according to claim 2 , wherein the water-absorbing polymer particles have a permeability (SFC) of at least 80×10 −7 cm 3 s/g. 5. Water-absorbing particles according to claim 3 , wherein the water-absorbing polymer particles have a permeability (SFC) of at least 80×10 −7 cm 3 s/g. 6. Water-absorbing polymer particles according to claim 1 , wherein the water-absorbing polymer particles have a free swell rate (FSR) of at least 0.2 g/gs. 7. Water-absorbing polymer particles according to claim 1 , wherein the water-absorbing polymer particles have a permeability (SFC) of at least 80×10 −7 cm 3 s/g. 8. A hygiene article comprising water-absorbing polymer particles according to claim 1 .
