Super absorbent polymer
The present invention relates to a super absorbent polymer. In the super absorbent polymer according to the present invention, the content of each of the super absorbent polymer particles having different surface shapes among particles constituting the polymer is optimized, and this not only an absorbent capacity and an absorbency under load are excellent but also the rewetting phenomenon can be effectively prevented.
1. A super absorbent polymer comprising:
porous particles in which a plurality of pores having an average pore diameter of 10 μm or more are formed on the surface;
secondary granule particles in which primary particles having an average particle diameter of 10 μm to 100 μm are aggregated; and
non-porous particles in which 0 to 3 pores having an average pore diameter of 5 μm or more are present on the surface,
wherein the non-porous particles are contained in an amount of 15% by weight to 75% by weight based on the total weight of the super absorbent polymer, and
the vortex time is 20 seconds to 70 seconds.
2. The super absorbent polymer according to claim 1 , wherein the porous particles are contained in an amount of 20% by weight to 60% by weight.
3. The super absorbent polymer according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary granule particles are contained in an amount of 10% by weight to 40% by weight.
4. The super absorbent polymer according to claim 1 , wherein the super absorbent polymer has a centrifuge retention capacity (CRC) for a physiological saline solution of about 28 g/g to about 35 g/g; an absorbency under load (AUL) at 0.9 psi for a physiological saline solution of about 14 g/g to about 22 g/g; and a free swell gel bed permeability (GBP) for a physiological saline solution of about 40 darcy to about 100 darcy.
