A discrete superabsorbent layer is adhered to the lower surface of a fibrous absorbent structure using a water-based polymeric binder is disclosed. The advantages are that a superabsorbent roll good can be prepared for later conversion into disposable absorbent products. The use of the water-based polymeric binder prevents particles of superabsorbent from becoming dislodged from the structure during handling and processing.

Absorbent structures with integral layer of superabsorbent polymer particles

An absorbent sheeted material containing a layer of a foamed hydrogel-forming polymer having superabsorbent properties coated on the surface of a sheeted fibrous absorbent material suitable for use in disposable absorbent products and methods of making thereof are disclosed.
