Problems solved by technology

[0004] On the other hand, since water-absorbent resins are used as hygienic materials that come into contact with the human body (skin), in recent years, it has been required to also consider the safety of the skin, and there is also a high safety issue in the improvement method of water-absorbent resins through use. Research tendency to consider the safety of water-absorbent resins, such as adding agents or reducing water-soluble components

manufacture example 1

[0094] A round-bottom cylindrical-type detachable flask with an inner diameter of 110 mm having a reflux cooler, a dropping funnel, a nitrogen gas introduction tube, and a stirring paddle was prepared. Measure 340 g of n-heptane in the flask, add HLB3 sucrose stearate (manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Foods Co., Ltd., Ryoto sugar ester S-370) 0.92 g, maleic anhydride modified ethylene-propylene copolymer (Mitsui Chemicals Co., Ltd. Prepared, Hi-wax 1105A) 0.92g, heated up to 80°C while stirring to dissolve the surfactant, then cooled to 50°C.

[0095] In addition, 92 g (1.02 moles) of an 80 mass % acrylic acid aqueous solution was weighed in a 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask, and 146.0 g of a 21 mass % sodium hydroxide aqueous solution was added dropwise while cooling from the outside to neutralize 75 mol %. 0.11 g (0.41 mmol) of potassium persulfate and 9.2 mg (0.06 mmol) of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide were added and dissolved to prepare the monomer aqueous solution in the first s...

[0101] A round-bottom cylindrical-type detachable flask with an inner diameter of 110 mm having a reflux cooler, a dropping funnel, a nitrogen gas introduction tube, and a stirring paddle was prepared. Measure 340 g of n-heptane in the flask, add 0.92 g of hexaglycerol monobehenate (manufactured by NOF Corporation, NonionGV-106) of HLB13.1, maleic anhydride modified ethylene-propylene copolymer (Mitsui Chemicals Made by the company, Hi-wax 1105A) 0.92 g, heated up to 80°C while stirring to dissolve the surfactant, and then cooled to 50°C.

[0102] In addition, 92 g (1.02 moles) of an 80 mass % acrylic acid aqueous solution was weighed in a 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask, and 146.0 g of a 21 mass % sodium hydroxide aqueous solution was added dropwise while cooling from the outside to neutralize 75 mol %. 0.11 g (0.41 mmol) of potassium persulfate and 9.2 mg (0.06 mmol) of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide were added and dissolved to prepare the monomer aqueous solution in the first step.

Embodiment 1

[0108] 50 g of the water-absorbent resin precursor (A1) obtained in Production Example 1 was added to a round-bottomed cylindrical detachable flask with an inner diameter of 110 mm having a stirrer, a stirring paddle, a reflux cooler, a dropping funnel, and a nitrogen gas introduction tube (for Theoretical amount of water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer used to obtain the precursor: 0.52 mol), 80 g of n-heptane. After raising the internal temperature to 80° C., 7.5 g of water was added, and the same temperature was maintained for 10 minutes.

[0109] Then, 10.0 g (5.6 mmol) of a 5% carbodihydrazide aqueous solution was added as a post-crosslinking agent, and mixed. This mixture was heated in an oil bath at 125° C., and post-crosslinking reaction was performed for 1 hour while water and n-heptane in the obtained mixture were distilled off and dried to obtain 51.5 g of the water-absorbent resin of Example 1.

Abstract

A process for producing a water-absorbable resin, comprising polymerizing a water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer to produce a water-absorbable resin precursor and then subjecting the water-absorbable resin precursor to post-crosslinking reaction in the presence of a compound having two or more hydrazide groups.The water-absorbable resin produced by the process is excellent in various properties such as water-retaining ability, water-absorbing ability under loading and gel strength. Further, the water-absorbable resin is safe because of its reduced contents of water-soluble components. Therefore, the water-absorbable resin can be used suitably as a sanitary material for a disposable diaper, an incontinent pad, a sanitary napkin or the like, particularly a disposable diaper.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a water-absorbent resin and a water-absorbent resin obtained by the method. More specifically, it relates to a method for producing a water-absorbent resin applicable to sanitary materials such as paper diapers, incontinence pads, and sanitary napkins, and a water-absorbent resin obtained by the method. Background technique [0002] Historically, water-absorbent resins have been widely used in sanitary materials such as paper diapers and sanitary napkins, and industrial materials such as water-stop materials for cables. Known water-absorbent resins include, for example, hydrolyzed products of starch-acrylonitrile graft copolymers, neutralized products of starch-acrylic acid graft polymers, saponified products of vinyl acetate-acrylate copolymers, and partially neutralized products of polyacrylic acid. Wait. [0003] Water-absorbent resins used in sanitary materials and the like are required to b...
