An absorbent structure comprising absorbent polymer particles supported by a substrate layer and immobilized on this substrate layer by a thermoplastic adhesive material and further comprising a component sorbing oily substances that may migrate from the thermoplastic adhesive material is disclosed. The absorbent structure can be suitably incorporated in a disposable absorbent article.

Absorbent structure comprising an oil-scavenger component

A durable hydrophilic coating composition is provided comprising a film forming polymer, a wetting agent and from about 0.001% to about 40%, by weight of the composition, of nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica and combinations thereof and have a particle size of from about 1 to about 750 nanometers. The weight ratio of the film forming polymer to the nanoparticles is from about 1:1 to about 1:30. A disposable absorbent article is also disclosed.

Durable hydrophilic coating compositions

Absorbent structures, and absorbent articles with such structures, comprising water-absorbing polymer having a coating of film-forming polyurethane and therein incorporated a hydrophilic silica.

Absorbent structures with coated water-absorbing material

The invention relates to a process for producing a water-absorbing material by coating water-absorbing polymer particles with a film-forming polyurethane and silica, heat treating the coated particles and coating the heat-treated particles with pyrogenic hydrophilic silica. The invention further relates to the water-absorbing material obtainable according to the process of the invention. The water-absorbing material has improved wicking ability (FHA) and core shell saline flow conductivity (CS-SFC).
