Definitions
- Hydrogel-forming polymers with increased permeability and high absorption capacity Hydrogel-forming polymers with increased permeability and high absorption capacity
- the present invention concerns hydrogel-forming polymers with increased permeability and high absorption capacity, a process for preparing such hydrogel-forming polymers and also their use.
- Hydrogel-forming polymers are swellable and known as superabsorbent polymers
- SAPs superabsorbents
- hydrogels in non-gel form and even in their dried state.
- Swellable hydrogel-forming polymers are in particular polymers of (co)polymerized hydrophilic monomers with crosslinking comonomers, graft (co)polymers of one or more hydrophilic monomers on a suitable grafting base, crosslinked cellulose ethers, crosslinked starch ethers, crosslinked carboxymethylcellulose, partially crosslinked polyalkylene oxide or natural products which are capable of swelling in aqueous fluids, such as guar derivatives for example.
- Such hydrogels are used as products capable of absorbing aqueous solutions to manufacture diapers, tampons, sanitary napkins and other hygiene articles, but also as water-retaining agents in market gardening or to thicken all kinds of wastes, especially medical wastes.
- Swellable hydrogel-forming polymers are preferably capable of absorbing at least 10 times their own weight and preferably 20 times their own weight, based on the polymer used, of 0.9% by weight sodium chloride solution. This absorption is preferably achieved even under a pressure of 0.7 psi for example.
- Swellable hydrogel-forming polymers are typically surface or gel postcrossl inked to improve their performance characteristics.
- This postcrosslinking is known per se to one skilled in the art and preferably takes place in an aqueous gel phase or as surface postcrosslinking of the ground and classified polymeric particles.
- Adding hydrophobic silica as anti-caking agent to dried superabsorbent powder is a well-known means for improving powder handling, which also may help to improve liquids transport in a swollen hydrogel bed.
- WO 2005/042 039 A2 US 2002/0 128 618 A1 and US 5 847 031 disclose superabsorbents obtained by mixing dried poly(sodium)acrylate with hydrophobic particles such as hydrophobic silica and optionally other additives.
- Inorganic particles are also well known-fillers for various polymeric substances.
- JP 04/359 915 A1 discloses zinc oxide-containing oil-resisting rubber vulcanizates.
- Adding hydrophilic silica derivatives to superabsorbents is also known.
- DE 100 13 217 A1 discloses that adding an alumosilicate such as saponite or zeolithes to a superabsorbent improves liquids transport in the swollen hydrogel bed and reduces odours which may occur during the use of diapers containing superabsorbents.
- WO 00/31157 A1 discloses adding a alkali silicate of the general formula M 2 O x n SiO 2 to the monomer or wet polymer gel.
- EP 516 925 A1 discloses a suspension polymerisation process for preparing polyacrylate superabsorbents in the form of wrinkled particles, in which water-phase droplets containing sodium acrylate, acrylic acid and a crosslinker are dispersed in an organic phase comprising a surfactant and hydrophobic silica as dispersing agents.
- EP 949 290 A2 discloses a process for producing superabsorbents, in which water phase droplets containing superabsorbent polymer and crosslinker are suspended in a surfactant-free organic phase containing hydrophobic silica. The silica serves as substitute for surfactants and is recovered.
- the present invention therefore had for its object to develop a specific superabsorbent which is optimally suitable for high absorbancy and increased permeability.
- hydrophobic compounds are in particular hydrophobicized pyrogenic silicas or hydrophobicized mixtures of pyrogenic silicas and pygrogenic aluminas.
- Other useful hydrophobic compounds are in particular hydrophobicized precipitated silicas or hydrophobicized mixtures of precipitated silicas and precipitated aluminas. If in the following description pyrogenic silicas or pyrogenic aluminas are mentioned, it is to be understood that also precipitated silicas or precipitated aluminas can be used.
- Useful superabsorbent materials in the present invention's process are hydrogels or hydrogel mixtures.
- the water content of the hydrogels is preferably less than 20% by weight, more preferably less than 10% by weight and most preferably less than 5% by weight.
- Dried hydrogel-forming polymer is such where the water content is 0%.
- a SAP with 15 weight-% water contains 85 weight-percent dry SAP.
- hydrophobic and hydrophilic describe the wetting behavior of a surface with water.
- the contact angle of a water droplet is smaller than 90° on hydrophobic surfaces, preferred smaller than 80°, more preferred smaller than 70°, specially preferred smaller than 60° and most preferred smaller than 50°.
- the contact angle is described for example in Colloid Polym. Sci., volume 259 (1981), pages 391 to 394. On rough surfaces the apparent contact angle will be measured. If powders are measured, they shall be smoothed out by a smooth stemp with a pressure of 0.5 bar.
- hydroxyl groups on the particle surface of pyrogenic silicas. These hydroxyl groups are capable of forming hydrogen bonds. Pyrogenic silicas are hydrophilic as a result.
- Reaction of pyrogenic silicas with trimethylchlorosilane for example can be used to convert the free hydroxyl groups into silyl ether groups.
- the silyl ether groups are no longer capable of forming hydrogen bonds.
- the pyrogenic silica has been rendered hydrophobic.
- the amounts of hydrophobic particles are advantageously chosen such that not only an increased rate of permeability of the superabsorbents is achieved, but also the process of manufacture of the superabsorbents is has not to be altered substantially.
- the amount of hydrophobic particles used is to be individually adjusted with regard of the recipe used in the production.
- the present invention provides a process for preparing a hydrogel-forming polymer, comprising the steps of:

- Hydrophobicized aluminas and/or silicas are obtainable for example by reaction of hydrophilic aluminas and/or silicas with hexamethyldisilazane or dimethyldichlorosilane.
- the hydrophobic compounds are preferably mixed with the monomer solution before polymerizing to obtain the water-absorbing hydrogel.

- Wet gel means in the context of this invention a hydrogel-forming polymer with an water content of more than 1 part water per part dry polymer, preferable more than 2 parts, more preferable more than 5 parts, most preferable more than 10 parts water per part dry polymer.

- the invention further provides a process for aftertreating absorbent hydrogels.
- the aftertreating can be done before, after or simultaneously to the postcrosslinking step.
- the aftertreating of absorbent hydrogels comprises the steps of:
- multivalent metal ions such as for example Al 3+ , Fe 2+ , Fe 3+ , Ti 3+ , Ti 4+ , Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cr 3+ , Mn 2+ , Zn 2+ , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Zr 3+ , Zr 4+ , more preferably Al 3+ .

- Neutralization is typically achieved by mixing the neutralizing agent to the monomer solution before polymerization.
- neutralization is achieved by mixing the neutralizing agent as an aqueous solution or else preferably as a solid into the gel.
- the gel is mechanically comminuted, for example by means of a meat grinder, and the neutralizing agent is sprayed on, scattered on or poured on and then carefully mixed in.
- the gel mass obtained can then be repeatedly passed through the meat grinder for homogenization.
- the neutralized gel mass is then dried with a belt or can dryer until the residual moisture content is preferably below 10% by weight and especially below 5% by weight.
- the dried hydrogel is subsequently ground and sieved, and the grinding can typically be carried out using roll mills, pin mills or swing mills.
- the particle size of the sieved hydrogel is preferably in the range from 45 to 1000 ⁇ m, more preferably in the range from 45 to 850 ⁇ m, even more preferably in the range from 100 to 800 ⁇ m and yet more preferably in the range from 100 to 700 ⁇ m.
- the postcrosslinking of hydrogels and superabsorbents is typically carried out by spraying a solution of the surface postcrosslinker onto the dry base polymer powder.
- the polymeric powder After spraying, the polymeric powder is thermally dried, and the crosslinking reaction can take place not only before but also during the drying.
- the spraying with a solution of the crosslinker is preferably carried out in reaction mixers or mixing and drying ranges, such as for example L ⁇ dige® mixers, BEPEX® mixers, NAUTA® mixers, SCHUGGI® mixers, NARA® dryers and PROCESSALL®.
- Fluidized bed dryers can be used as well in addition.
- Drying may take place in the mixer itself, by heating the jacket or introducing a stream of warm air. It is similarly possible to use a downstream dryer, such as for example a tray dryer, a rotary tube oven or a heatable screw. But it is also possible for example to utilize an azeotropic distillation as a drying process.
- Preferred drying temperatures are in the range from 50 to 250°C, preferably in the range from 50 to 200°C and more preferably in the range from 50 to 150°C.

- the present invention's aftertreated hydrogels capable of absorbing aqueous fluids are also useful for absorbing blood and/or body fluids in hygiene articles, such as for example incontinence articles, napkins, tampons, liners.
- the present invention's aftertreated hydrogels capable of absorbing aqueous fluids can be processed with fibers, such as cellulose for example, and also fibrous web to form absorbing composites.
- An aftertreatment with hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials ensures a uniform distribution of the superabsorbent in the container when treating at least partially liquid wastes, especially at least partially liquid medical wastes, in that at least a portion of the superabsorbent will initially float on the surface of the solution.
- the present invention further provides mixtures of products prepared by the present invention's process with biocidal, antimicrobial and/or antibacterial materials and/or perfume or scent materials, stabilizers, dyes, pH indicators and/or other auxiliaries.
