Definitions
- the present invention relates to superabsorbent polymers having improved odor control properties and to processes for their preparation.
- DE 40 20 780 C1 discloses the post-treatment of superabsorbent polymers by post-crosslinking the surfaces of the polymer particles. By the post-crosslinking of the surface of the water-absorbing polymer particles, in particular, the absorption capacity of the polymer particles is increased under the action of pressures.
- DE 199 09 653 A1 and DE 199 09 838 A1 describe powdery, postcrosslinked, water, aqueous or serous liquids or blood absorbing polymers which are based on acid group-carrying monomers and which have been coated with a surface postcrosslinking agent and a cation in aqueous solution and postcrosslinked are.
- the polymers disclosed in this prior art have advantageous absorption properties, in particular high permeability, over conventional polymers.
- the body fluids often contain the odor-inhibiting or odor-reducing substances initially present in the superabsorber area, for example, by flooding into a superabsorbent-containing area of a hygiene article, where they then have a negative effect on the performance of the superabsorber and thus of the hygiene article as a whole.
- the majority of the body fluid discharged into the sanitary article is anyway in the superabsorbent and therefore located outside of the superabsorbent odor-inhibiting or odor-reducing substances can develop their effect worse.
- DE 198 25 486 and DE 199 39 662 A1 disclose the combination of superabsorbents with cyclodextrin for reducing odors.
- this quite promising approach suggests that only under certain conditions, namely when it is ensured that the cyclodextrin does not separate from the superabsorber, does the cyclodextrin exhibit its odor-inhibiting effect in the superabsorbent.
- the cyclodextrin is incorporated at least into the surface of the superabsorbent article by covalently and / or ionically bound and / or entrapped in cyclodextrin and / or cyclodextrin derivatives.
- DE 103 34 271 furthermore discloses superabsorbent agglomerates which can have a multiplicity of odor binders homogeneously in the agglomerate.

It was an object of the invention to provide a water-absorbing polymer which on the one hand has good odor-binding properties. On the other hand, it should be ensured that the performance of the hygiene article containing this odor-binding water-absorbing polymer is substantially equal to or even better than the performance of the hygiene article with a superabsorbent, which does not include the odor binder like the odor-binding water-absorbing polymer. In particular, the performance properties of the water-absorbing polymer should be improved by the use of odor-binding additives, which are as small as possible should be used, possibly not at all or at most be slightly influenced.
- the performance properties of the water-absorbing polymer should even be improved by the addition of the odor-controlling additive.
- the water-absorbing polymer should, if it comes into contact with aqueous body fluids, in particular with urine or iron-containing liquids, such as, for example, blood or menstrual fluid, preferably should not be prone to excessive discoloration.
