Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0223908A2] The invention relates to a process for the continuous production of nonwoven highly water-absorbent complex characterized in adding in advance to an aqueous monomer solution a crosslinking agent and a oxidizing polymerization initiating agent having a latent activity, and after impregnating a continuous nonwoven fibrous web with this solution, causing a rapid polymerization reaction by adding an activator to this web so as to form a water-swelling polymer in this web, thereby continuously forming a nonwoven highly water-absorbent comple. As the radical polymerization initiator a peroxide e.g. hydrogen peroxide is used, and as the activator a water soluble reducing agent capable of forming a redox system with said peroxide, e.g. aniline or sodium sulfite is used.
