Moreover, in this specification, a skin opposing surface is a surface in the napkin 1 or its component (for example, surface sheet 2) orient | assigned to a wearer's skin side at the time of wear of the napkin 1, and a non-skin opposing surface is a napkin. 1 or a component thereof, which is a surface directed to the side opposite to the skin side (clothing side) when the napkin 1 is worn. Further, the longitudinal direction X coincides with the longitudinal direction of the napkin 1 and the absorbent main body 10, and the lateral direction Y coincides with the width direction (direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction) of the napkin 1 and the absorbent main body 10.
本実施形態では、ナプキン1は、図1及び図3に示すように、吸収性本体10に加えて更に、吸収性本体10における排泄部対向部Bの縦方向Xに沿う両側部それぞれから横方向Yの外方に延出する一対のウイング部10W,10Wを有している。

It has a pair of wing parts 10W and 10W extending outward of Y.
尚、本発明の吸収性物品において、排泄部対向部Bは、本実施形態のナプキン1のようにウイング部10Wを有する場合には、吸収性物品の縦方向(吸収性物品の長手方向、図中のX方向)においてウイング部10Wを有する領域(一方のウイング部10Wの縦方向Xに沿う付け根と他方のウイング部10Wの縦方向Xに沿う付け根とに挟まれた領域)を意味する。ウイング部を有しない吸収性物品における排泄部対向部Bは、吸収性物品が3つ折りの個装形態に折り畳まれた際に生じる、該吸収性物品を横方向(吸収性物品の幅方向、図中のY方向)に横断する2本の折曲線(図示せず)について、該吸収性物品の縦方向Xの前端から数えて第1折曲線と第2折曲線とに囲まれた領域を意味する。
In the absorbent article of the present invention, when the excretory part facing part B has the wing part 10W like the napkin 1 of the present embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article (the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article, FIG. (X direction in the middle) means a region having a wing portion 10W (a region sandwiched between a root along the vertical direction X of one wing portion 10W and a root along the vertical direction X of the other wing portion 10W). The excretion part opposing part B in the absorbent article which does not have a wing part is produced when the absorbent article is folded into a three-fold individual packaging form. With respect to two folding curves (not shown) crossing in the Y direction in the middle, it means a region surrounded by the first folding curve and the second folding curve counted from the front end in the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent article. To do.
本実施形態のナプキン1では、表面シート2は、図1に示すように、吸収体4の肌対向面の全域を被覆し、吸収体4の縦方向Xに沿う両側縁から横方向Yの外方に延出している。一方、裏面シート3は、吸収体4の非肌対向面の全域を被覆し、更に吸収体4の縦方向Xに沿う両側縁から横方向Yの外方に延出して、後述するサイドシート7と共にサイドフラップ部10Sを形成している。表面シート2と裏面シート3とは、吸収体4の縦方向Xの両端縁からの延出部分において、接着剤、ヒートシール、超音波シール等の公知の接合手段によって互いに接合されている。尚、表面シート2及び裏面シート3それぞれと吸収体4との間は接着剤によって接合されていてもよい。
In the napkin 1 of the present embodiment, the top sheet 2 covers the entire area of the skin facing surface of the absorbent body 4 as shown in FIG. 1, and the outer side in the lateral direction Y from both side edges along the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent body 4. It extends to the direction. On the other hand, the back sheet 3 covers the entire area of the non-skin facing surface of the absorbent body 4 and further extends outward in the lateral direction Y from both side edges along the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent body 4 to be described later. In addition, a side flap portion 10S is formed. The top sheet 2 and the back sheet 3 are joined to each other by known joining means such as an adhesive, heat seal, ultrasonic seal, and the like, at portions extending from both end edges in the longitudinal direction X of the absorber 4. In addition, between each of the top sheet 2 and the back sheet 3 and the absorbent body 4 may be joined by an adhesive.
ナプキン1では、サイドシート7は、図1及び図3に示すように、吸収性本体10の肌対向面(表面シート2の肌対向面)における縦方向Xに沿う両側部に配されている。好適には、サイドシート7は、平面視において吸収体4の縦方向Xに沿う左右両側部に重なるように、吸収性本体10の縦方向Xの全長に亘って配されている。
In the napkin 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the side sheets 7 are disposed on both sides along the longitudinal direction X of the skin facing surface of the absorbent main body 10 (skin facing surface of the top sheet 2). Preferably, the side sheet 7 is arranged over the entire length in the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent main body 10 so as to overlap the left and right side portions along the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent body 4 in plan view.
ナプキン1では、一対のサイドシート7,7は、それぞれ、図1に示すように、排泄部対向部Bに位置する線状の第1接合線61と、該第1接合線61の縦方向Xの前後(前方部A及び後方部C)に位置する線状の第2接合線62とで表面シート2に接合されている。第1接合線61は、平面視において横方向Yの外方に向けて凸の曲線状であり、第2接合線62は、平面視において縦方向に交互に交差するように延びる線状(ジグザグ線状)である。このように、サイドシート7が、第1接合線61及び第2接合線62にて表面シート2に接合されて、吸収性本体10の肌対向面に固定されると、図3に示すように、第1接合線61及び第2接合線62よりも横方向Yの内方に、サイドシート7と表面シート2とで画成される空間部Pが形成される。この空間部Pは、吸収性本体10の横方向Yの中央に向けて開口しているので、横方向Yの中央から外方へ流れる経血等の体液が空間部Pに収容されるようになり、結果として体液の漏れが効果的に防止できる。尚、一対のサイドシート7,7のそれぞれの自由端部に、縦方向Xに伸長状態の弾性部材を配して、縦方向Xに沿う一対の防漏カフを配置してもよい。防漏カフは、起立性を有するものであり、肌対向面に配設された経血の横漏れを防止することができる。

The first joint line 61 is a curved line convex outward in the lateral direction Y in plan view, and the second joint line 62 is a line (zigzag) extending so as to alternately intersect the vertical direction in plan view. Linear). Thus, when the side sheet 7 is joined to the surface sheet 2 by the first joining line 61 and the second joining line 62 and fixed to the skin facing surface of the absorbent main body 10, as shown in FIG. A space P defined by the side sheet 7 and the top sheet 2 is formed inward in the lateral direction Y with respect to the first joint line 61 and the second joint line 62. Since the space P is opened toward the center in the lateral direction Y of the absorbent main body 10, body fluid such as menstrual blood flowing outward from the center in the lateral Y is accommodated in the space P. As a result, leakage of body fluid can be effectively prevented. It should be noted that a pair of leak-proof cuffs along the vertical direction X may be arranged by disposing an elastic member extending in the vertical direction X at the free ends of the pair of side sheets 7, 7. The leak-proof cuff has an upright property and can prevent the side leakage of menstrual blood disposed on the skin facing surface.
ナプキン1では、サイドフラップ部10Sは、図1に示すように、排泄部対向部Bにおいて横方向Yの外方に向かって大きく張り出しており、これにより吸収性本体10の縦方向Xに沿う左右両側に、一対のウイング部10W,10Wが延設されている。また、表面シート2及び裏面シート3は、図1に示すように、吸収体4の縦方向Xの前端及び後端それぞれから縦方向Xの外方に延出し、それらの延出部において、接着剤、ヒートシール、超音波シール等の公知の接合手段によって、互いに接合されてエンドシール部を形成している。
In the napkin 1, as shown in FIG. 1, the side flap part 10S protrudes greatly outward in the lateral direction Y at the excretory part facing part B, and thereby the left and right along the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent main body 10 A pair of wing portions 10W and 10W are extended on both sides. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the top sheet 2 and the back sheet 3 extend outward in the longitudinal direction X from the front end and the rear end in the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent body 4. The end seal portion is formed by bonding to each other by a known bonding means such as an agent, heat sealing, ultrasonic sealing or the like.
ウイング部10Wは、ショーツ等の着衣のクロッチ部の非肌対向面側に折り返されて用いられるものである。ナプキン1では、ウイング部10Wは、図1に示すように、平面視において、下底(上底よりも長い辺)が、吸収性本体10の縦方向Xに沿う側部側に位置する略台形形状を有している。ウイング部10Wの非肌対向面には、該ウイング部10W(ナプキン1)をショーツ等の着衣(図示せず)に固定するウイング部粘着部(図示せず)が形成されており、このウイング部粘着部によって、使用時に、着衣のクロッチ部の非肌対向面(外面)側に折り返されたウイング部10Wを、該クロッチ部に粘着固定できるようになされている。また、吸収性本体10の非肌対向面にも、吸収性本体10を、ショーツ等の着衣に固定するための本体粘着部(図示せず)が形成されている。

The quaternary ammonium salt polymer is a cationic polymer having a quaternary ammonium moiety. A quaternary ammonium moiety can be generated by quaternary ammoniumation of a tertiary amine using an alkylating agent. Alternatively, the tertiary amine can be dissolved in acid or water and generated by neutralization. Or it can produce | generate by the quaternary ammonium formation by the nucleophilic reaction containing a condensation reaction. Examples of the alkylating agent include alkyl halides and dialkyl sulfates such as dimethyl sulfate and dimethyl sulfate. Of these alkylating agents, the use of dialkyl sulfate is preferable because the problem of corrosion that may occur when an alkyl halide is used does not occur. Examples of the acid include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, citric acid, phosphoric acid, fluorosulfonic acid, boric acid, chromic acid, lactic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, gluconic acid, formic acid, ascorbic acid, and hyaluronic acid. .

Quaternary ammoniumation by a nucleophilic reaction including a condensation reaction can be caused by a ring-opening polycondensation reaction of dimethylamine and epichlorohydrin or a cyclization reaction of dicyandiamide and diethylenetriamine.
経血中に赤血球の凝集塊を生成させるためには、カチオン性ポリマーを用いることが特に有効であることが本発明者の検討の結果判明した。この理由は次のとおりである。赤血球はその表面に赤血球膜を有する。赤血球膜は、2層構造を有している。この2層構造は、下層である赤血球膜骨格と上層である脂質皮膜からなる。赤血球の表面に露出している脂質皮膜には、グリコホリンと呼ばれるタンパク質が含まれている。グリコホリンはその末端にシアル酸と呼ばれるアニオン電荷を帯びた糖が結合した糖鎖を有している。その結果、赤血球はアニオン電荷を帯びたコロイド粒子として扱うことができる。コロイド粒子の凝集には一般に凝集剤が用いられる。赤血球がアニオン性のコロイド粒子であることを考慮すると、凝集剤としてはカチオン性の物質を用いることが、赤血球の電気二重層を中和する点から有利である。また凝集剤が高分子鎖を有していると、赤血球の表面に吸着した凝集剤の高分子鎖どうしの絡み合いが生じやすくなり、そのことに起因して赤血球の凝集が促進される。更に、凝集剤が官能基を有している場合には、該官能基間の相互作用によっても赤血球の凝集が促進されるので好ましい。
As a result of the inventor's examination, it has been found that it is particularly effective to use a cationic polymer in order to generate an aggregate of red blood cells during menstrual blood. The reason for this is as follows. Red blood cells have a red blood cell membrane on their surface. The erythrocyte membrane has a two-layer structure. This two-layer structure is composed of a red blood cell membrane skeleton as a lower layer and a lipid membrane as an upper layer. The lipid film exposed on the surface of erythrocytes contains a protein called glycophorin. Glycophorin has a sugar chain to which a sugar having an anionic charge called sialic acid is bonded at its end. As a result, erythrocytes can be treated as colloidal particles having an anionic charge. In general, an aggregating agent is used for aggregating the colloidal particles. Considering that erythrocytes are anionic colloidal particles, it is advantageous to use a cationic substance as an aggregating agent from the viewpoint of neutralizing the electric double layer of erythrocytes. Further, if the aggregating agent has a polymer chain, the polymer chains of the aggregating agent adsorbed on the surface of the erythrocyte tend to be entangled with each other, thereby promoting the aggregation of erythrocytes. Further, when the aggregating agent has a functional group, it is preferable because the aggregation of erythrocytes is promoted by the interaction between the functional groups.

カチオン性ポリマーが、赤血球の表面に首尾よく吸着するためには、該カチオン性ポリマーが、赤血球の表面に存在しているシアル酸と相互作用しやすいことが有利である。この観点から本発明者が検討を推し進めたところ、物質の無機性値と有機性値との比率である無機性値/有機性値の値(以下「IOB(Inorganic Organic Balance)値」という。)を尺度として、シアル酸結合物とカチオン性ポリマーとの相互作用の程度を評価できることが判明した。詳細には、カチオン性ポリマーとして、シアル酸結合物のIOB値と同じか、それに近似した値のIOB値を有するものを用いることが有利であることが判明した。シアル酸結合物とは、生体内でシアル酸が存在し得る形態となっている化合物のことであり、例えばガラクト脂質などの糖脂質の末端にシアル酸が結合している化合物などが挙げられる。
In order for the cationic polymer to be successfully adsorbed on the surface of red blood cells, it is advantageous that the cationic polymer easily interacts with sialic acid present on the surface of red blood cells. From this point of view, the present inventors proceeded with studies, and as a result, inorganic value / organic value (hereinafter referred to as “IOB (Inorganic Organic Balance) value”), which is the ratio between the inorganic value and the organic value of the substance. It was found that the degree of interaction between the sialic acid conjugate and the cationic polymer can be evaluated on the basis of. Specifically, it has been found advantageous to use a cationic polymer having an IOB value that is the same as or close to that of the sialic acid conjugate. The sialic acid conjugate is a compound in which sialic acid can exist in a living body, and examples thereof include a compound in which sialic acid is bound to the end of a glycolipid such as galactolipid.
一般に、物質の性状は、分子間の各種分子間力に大きく支配され、この分子間力は主に分子質量によるVan Der Waals力と、分子の極性による電気的親和力からなっている。物質の性質の変化に対して大きな影響を与えるVan Der Waals力と、電気的親和力のそれぞれを個別に把握することができれば、その組み合わせから未知の物質、あるいはそれらの混合物についてもその性状を予測することができる。この考え方は、「有機概念図論」として良く知られている理論である。有機概念図論は、例えば藤田穆著の「有機分析」(カニヤ書店、昭和5年)、藤田穆著の「有機定性分析:系統的.純粋物編」(共立出版、1953年)、藤田穆著の「改編 化学実験学-有機化学編」(河出書房、1971年)、藤田穆・赤塚政実著の「系統的有機定性分析(混合物編)」(風間書房、1974年)、及び甲田善生・佐藤四郎・本間善夫著の「新版 有機概念図 基礎と応用」(三共出版、2008年)等に詳述されている。有機概念図論では、物質の物理化学的物性について、主にVan Der Waals力による物性の程度を「有機性」と呼び、また主に電気的親和力による物性の程度を「無機性」と呼び、物質の物性を「有機性」と「無機性」の組み合わせでとらえている。そして、炭素(C)1個を有機性20と定義し、それに対して各種極性基の無機性及び有機性の値を、以下の表1に記載のとおり定め、無機性値の和と有機性値の和を求め、両者の比をIOB値と定義している。本発明においては、これらの有機性値及び無機性値に基づき、上述したシアル酸結合物のIOB値を決定し、その値に基づきカチオン性ポリマーのIOB値を決定する。
Generally, the properties of a substance are largely controlled by various intermolecular forces between molecules, and this intermolecular force mainly consists of Van Der Wals force due to molecular mass and electric affinity due to the polarity of the molecule. If the Van Der Waals force, which has a great influence on changes in the properties of substances, and the electrical affinity can be grasped individually, the properties of unknown substances or their mixtures can be predicted from the combination. be able to. This idea is a theory well known as “organic conceptual diagram”. Conceptual diagram of organic materials is, for example, “Organic analysis” written by Kei Fujita (Kanya Shoten, Showa 5), “Organic qualitative analysis: Systematic. Pure products” by Kyoda Fujita (Kyoritsu Shuppan, 1953), Jun Fujita “Revised Chemistry Experiments—Organic Chemistry” by Kawasaki Shobo (1971), “Systematic Organic Qualitative Analysis (mixture)” by Kaoru Fujita and Masami Akatsuka (Kasama Shobo, 1974), and Yoshio Koda It is described in detail in Shiro Sato and Yoshio Honma's “New Basic Concept of Organic Conception and Application” (Sankyo Publishing, 2008). In organic conceptual diagram, regarding the physicochemical properties of substances, the degree of physical properties due to Van Der Waals force is called `` organic '', and the degree of physical properties mainly due to electrical affinity is called `` inorganic ''. The physical properties of substances are considered as a combination of “organic” and “inorganic”. Then, one carbon (C) is defined as organic 20, and the inorganic and organic values of various polar groups are defined as shown in Table 1 below. The sum of the values is obtained, and the ratio between the two is defined as the IOB value. In the present invention, the IOB value of the sialic acid conjugate described above is determined based on these organic and inorganic values, and the IOB value of the cationic polymer is determined based on the value.
具体的には、カチオン性ポリマーがホモポリマーである場合、該ホモポリマーの繰り返し単位に基づき無機性値及び有機性値を決定し、IOB値を算出する。例えば後述する実施例1で用いているカチオン性ポリマーであるポリジアリルジメチルアンモニウムクロライドの場合、-C-×8=160の有機性値と、Ammo and NH4 salt×1=400の無機性値と、Ring(non-aromatic single ring)×1=10の無機性値と、-Cl×1=40の有機性値及び10の無機性値とを有することから、無機性値の合計は400+10+10=420となり、有機性値の合計は160+40=200となる。したがってIOB値は420/200=2.10となる。
Specifically, when the cationic polymer is a homopolymer, the inorganic value and the organic value are determined based on the repeating unit of the homopolymer, and the IOB value is calculated. For example, in the case of polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride, which is a cationic polymer used in Example 1 described later, an organic value of -C-x8 = 160, an inorganic value of AmmoAand NH4 salt × 1 = 400, Since it has an inorganic value of Ring (non-aromatic single ring) × 1 = 10, an organic value of −Cl × 1 = 40, and an inorganic value of 10, the total inorganic value is 400 + 10 + 10 = 420 The sum of the organic values is 160 + 40 = 200. Therefore, the IOB value is 420/200 = 2.10.
一方、カチオン性ポリマーが共重合物である場合には、共重合に用いられるモノマーのモル比に応じて以下の手順でIOB値を算出する。すなわち、共重合物がモノマーAとモノマーBとから得られ、モノマーAの有機性値がORAで、無機性値がINAであり、モノマーBの有機性値がORBで、無機性値がINBであり、モノマーA/モノマーBのモル比がMA/MBである場合、共重合物のIOB値は以下の式から算出される。
On the other hand, when the cationic polymer is a copolymer, the IOB value is calculated according to the following procedure according to the molar ratio of the monomers used for the copolymerization. That is, a copolymer is obtained from monomer A and monomer B, the organic value of monomer A is ORA, the inorganic value is INA, the organic value of monomer B is ORB, and the inorganic value is INB. Yes, when the molar ratio of monomer A / monomer B is MA / MB, the IOB value of the copolymer is calculated from the following equation.
このようにして決定されたカチオン性ポリマーのIOB値は、0.6以上であることが好ましく、1.8以上であることがより好ましく、2.1以上であることが更に好ましく、2.2以上であることが一層好ましい。また、カチオン性ポリマーのIOB値は、4.6以下であることが好ましく、3.6以下であることが更に好ましく、3.0以下であることが一層好ましい。具体的には、カチオン性ポリマーのIOB値は、0.6以上4.6以下であることが好ましく、1.8以上3.6以下であることがより好ましく、2.1以上3.6以下であることが更に好ましく、2.2以上3.0以下であることが一層好ましい。なお、シアル酸のIOB値は、シアル酸単体で4.25であり、シアル酸結合体で3.89である。前記シアル酸結合物とは、糖脂質における糖鎖とシアル酸が結合したものであり、シアル酸結合体は、シアル酸単体よりも有機性値の割合が高くなり、IOB値は低くなる。
The IOB value of the cationic polymer thus determined is preferably 0.6 or more, more preferably 1.8 or more, further preferably 2.1 or more, 2.2 It is still more preferable that it is above. Further, the IOB value of the cationic polymer is preferably 4.6 or less, more preferably 3.6 or less, and even more preferably 3.0 or less. Specifically, the IOB value of the cationic polymer is preferably 0.6 or more and 4.6 or less, more preferably 1.8 or more and 3.6 or less, and 2.1 or more and 3.6 or less. More preferably, it is 2.2 or more and 3.0 or less. The IOB value of sialic acid is 4.25 for sialic acid alone and 3.89 for sialic acid conjugate. The sialic acid conjugate is a glycolipid in which a sugar chain in a glycolipid and sialic acid are bound, and the sialic acid conjugate has a higher organic value ratio and a lower IOB value than sialic acid alone.

吸収性シート1枚あたりの厚みとしては、好ましくは0.1mm以上、特に0.3mm以上であり、また、好ましくは2mm以下、特に1.5mm以下であることが好ましい。より具体的には、0.1mm以上2mm以下、特に0.3mm以上1.5mm以下であることが、液拡散性、液保持性を十分に備えてかつ装着感の良好な吸収性物品を得る点から好ましい。
The thickness per absorbent sheet is preferably 0.1 mm or more, particularly 0.3 mm or more, and preferably 2 mm or less, particularly 1.5 mm or less. More specifically, it is 0.1 mm or more and 2 mm or less, particularly 0.3 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less to obtain an absorbent article having sufficient liquid diffusibility and liquid retention and having a good wearing feeling. It is preferable from the point.
吸収体4は、中高部403における厚みが、好ましくは0.7mm以上、更に好ましくは1mm以上であり、また、好ましくは5mm以下、更に好ましくは4mm以下であり、より具体的には、好ましくは0.7mm以上5mm以下、更に好ましくは1mm以上4mm以下である。中高部403の厚みをこのような範囲とすることで、中高部403が形成されている排泄部対向部Bにおける良好な装着感と高い吸収性能を両立することが容易となる。また、本実施形態のナプキン1のように吸収性物品がウイング部を備えている場合には、装着時に排泄部対向部での吸収体のヨレを抑制しやすくなる。また、吸収体は、中高部403以外の部分における厚みが、好ましくは0.3mm以上、更に好ましくは0.5mm以上であり、また、好ましくは3mm以下、更に好ましくは2.5mm以下であり、より具体的には、好ましくは0.3mm以上3mm以下、更に好ましくは0.5mm以上2.5mm以下である。この範囲であることが、高い吸収性能と着用者の動きへの追従性を高める観点から好ましい。なお、吸収体及び吸収性シートの厚みは下記方法により測定される。
The absorber 4 has a thickness at the middle-high portion 403 of preferably 0.7 mm or more, more preferably 1 mm or more, preferably 5 mm or less, more preferably 4 mm or less, more specifically preferably It is 0.7 mm or more and 5 mm or less, More preferably, it is 1 mm or more and 4 mm or less. By setting the thickness of the mid-high portion 403 in such a range, it becomes easy to achieve both a good wearing feeling and high absorption performance in the excretory portion facing portion B where the mid-high portion 403 is formed. Moreover, when the absorbent article is provided with a wing part like the napkin 1 of this embodiment, it becomes easy to suppress the twist of the absorber in an excretion part opposing part at the time of mounting | wearing. The thickness of the absorber other than the middle-high portion 403 is preferably 0.3 mm or more, more preferably 0.5 mm or more, and preferably 3 mm or less, more preferably 2.5 mm or less, More specifically, it is preferably 0.3 mm or more and 3 mm or less, more preferably 0.5 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less. This range is preferable from the viewpoint of enhancing the high absorption performance and the ability to follow the wearer's movement. In addition, the thickness of an absorber and an absorptive sheet is measured by the following method.
<吸収性シート及び吸収体の厚みの測定方法>

そして、ナプキン1では、パルプリッチ領域FTを肌対向面側に配して使用される部分において、血液凝集剤43は、少なくともパルプリッチ領域FTに存在している。ここで、ナプキン1のように、吸収体4が吸収性シートで形成された多層構造となっている場合、多層構造を形成する全ての吸収性シートに血液凝集剤43が配されていなくてもよい。ナプキン1では、図4に示すように、表面側吸収性シート401a及び裏面側吸収性シート401bからなる2層構造を形成する本体吸収性シート401に、血液凝集剤43が配されている。上述したように、本体吸収性シート401の縦方向Xに沿う両側部を折り返した2層構造となっているので、表面側吸収性シート401aが、パルプリッチ領域FTを肌対向面側に配して使用されており、裏面側吸収性シート401bが、パルプリッチ領域FTを非肌対向面側に配して使用されている。したがって、中高部403では、表面側吸収性シート401a、上側吸収性シート402a及び中間吸収性シート402cが、いずれも、肌当接面側から見て、パルプリッチ領域FTとポリマーリッチ領域PTの順で配置されていて、下側吸収性シート402b及び裏面側吸収性シート401bはいずれも、肌当接面からみて、ポリマーリッチ領域PTとパルプリッチ領域FTとがこの順で配置されている。そして、パルプリッチ領域FTを肌対向面側に配して使用される表面側吸収性シート401aにおいて、血液凝集剤43は、ポリマーリッチ領域PT及びパルプリッチ領域FTに存在しており、ポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在している。ここで、「多く存在している」とは、各領域FT、PT各々の面積当たりに存在する血液凝集剤43の質量、すなわち、各領域FT、PT各々における血液凝集剤43の坪量を比較した場合に一方の領域の血液凝集剤43の坪量が相対的に大きいことを意味する。また、パルプリッチ領域FTを非肌対向面側に配して使用さている、言い換えれば、ポリマーリッチ領域PTを肌対向面側に配して使用さている裏面側吸収性シート401bにおいて、血液凝集剤43は、ポリマーリッチ領域PT及びパルプリッチ領域FTに存在しており、ポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在している。尚、上側吸収性シート402a、中間吸収性シート402c及び下側吸収性シート402bからなる3層構造を形成する中央吸収性シート402に、血液凝集剤43は配されていない。
And in the napkin 1, the blood coagulant 43 is present at least in the pulp rich region FT in the portion used by arranging the pulp rich region FT on the skin facing surface side. Here, when the absorbent body 4 has a multilayer structure formed of an absorbent sheet like the napkin 1, even if the blood aggregating agent 43 is not disposed on all the absorbent sheets forming the multilayer structure. Good. In the napkin 1, as shown in FIG. 4, a blood coagulant 43 is disposed on a main body absorbent sheet 401 that forms a two-layer structure including a front-side absorbent sheet 401a and a back-side absorbent sheet 401b. As described above, since it has a two-layer structure in which both side portions along the longitudinal direction X of the main body absorbent sheet 401 are folded back, the front side absorbent sheet 401a places the pulp rich region FT on the skin facing surface side. The back side absorbent sheet 401b is used with the pulp rich region FT disposed on the non-skin facing surface side. Accordingly, in the middle-high portion 403, the surface side absorbent sheet 401a, the upper side absorbent sheet 402a, and the intermediate absorbent sheet 402c are all in the order of the pulp rich region FT and the polymer rich region PT when viewed from the skin contact surface side. As for the lower side absorbent sheet 402b and the back side absorbent sheet 401b, the polymer rich region PT and the pulp rich region FT are arranged in this order as viewed from the skin contact surface. And in the surface side absorbent sheet 401a used by arranging the pulp rich region FT on the skin facing surface side, the blood coagulant 43 is present in the polymer rich region PT and the pulp rich region FT, and the polymer rich region It exists more in the pulp rich region FT than in PT. Here, “existingly” means that the mass of the blood coagulant 43 present per area of each region FT, PT, that is, the basis weight of the blood coagulant 43 in each region FT, PT is compared. This means that the basis weight of the blood coagulant 43 in one region is relatively large. Further, in the back side absorbent sheet 401b in which the pulp rich region FT is used on the non-skin facing surface side, in other words, in the back side absorbent sheet 401b used in which the polymer rich region PT is placed on the skin facing surface side, a blood coagulant 43 exists in the polymer rich region PT and the pulp rich region FT, and is present more in the pulp rich region FT than in the polymer rich region PT. The blood aggregating agent 43 is not disposed on the central absorbent sheet 402 that forms a three-layer structure including the upper absorbent sheet 402a, the intermediate absorbent sheet 402c, and the lower absorbent sheet 402b.
血液凝集剤43が配されているか否かは、以下のようにして判断する。
走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)に付随されるエネルギー分散型X線分析装置(EDX)を用い、予め、吸収体4の有する高吸収性ポリマー41、吸収体4の有するパルプ42、及び吸収体4の有する血液凝集剤43、それぞれの元素分析を行う。次いで、血液凝集剤43が配されているか否か判断したい試料片をアルミ製の試料台にカーボン製の両面テープを用いて貼り付け、必要に応じて白金/バナジウムコーティングを行った後、SEM観察で拡大しながらEDX(元素分析装置)を用いて血液凝集剤43の元素の有無について確認を行う。測定は、15kV~40kVの加速電圧で行う。 Whether or not theblood coagulant 43 is disposed is determined as follows.
Using an energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDX) attached to a scanning electron microscope (SEM), thesuperabsorbent polymer 41 that the absorber 4 has, the pulp 42 that the absorber 4 has, and the absorber 4 Each elemental analysis of the blood agglutinating agent 43 is performed. Next, a sample piece to be judged as to whether or not the blood agglutinating agent 43 is disposed is attached to an aluminum sample table using a double-sided carbon tape, and after performing platinum / vanadium coating as necessary, SEM observation is performed. The presence or absence of an element in the blood coagulant 43 is checked using EDX (element analysis device) while expanding. The measurement is performed at an acceleration voltage of 15 kV to 40 kV.

また、血液凝集剤43がポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在しているか否かは、以下のように半定量的に判断する。
ポリマーリッチ領域PTとパルプリッチ領域FTとを備え、血液凝集剤43を含有する吸収性シートからなる試料片をアルミ製の試料台にカーボン製の両面テープを用いて貼り付け、必要に応じて白金/バナジウムコーティングを行った後、SEM観察で拡大しながらEDX(元素分析装置)を用いて、高吸収性ポリマー41の元素のマッピング、パルプ42の元素のマッピング、血液凝集剤43の元素のマッピングを行う。測定は、15kV~40kVの加速電圧で行う。そして、得られた元素分布のマッピングを見比べて、血液凝集剤43の元素のマッピングが、高吸収性ポリマー41の元素のマッピングよりも、パルプ42の元素のマッピングに類似している場合に、血液凝集剤43がポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在していると判断する。 Whetherblood coagulant 43 is present in the pulp rich region FT more than the polymer rich region PT is determined semi-quantitatively as follows.
A sample piece comprising an absorbent sheet having a polymer-rich region PT and a pulp-rich region FT and containing ablood aggregating agent 43 is attached to an aluminum sample table using a double-sided carbon tape, and platinum is added if necessary. / After performing vanadium coating, using EDX (element analysis device) while enlarging with SEM observation, mapping of element of superabsorbent polymer 41, mapping of element of pulp 42, mapping of element of blood coagulant 43 Do. The measurement is performed at an acceleration voltage of 15 kV to 40 kV. Then, comparing the obtained elemental distribution mapping, when the elemental mapping of blood coagulant 43 is more similar to the elemental mapping of pulp 42 than the elemental mapping of superabsorbent polymer 41, blood It is determined that the flocculant 43 is present more in the pulp rich region FT than in the polymer rich region PT.
ポリマーリッチ領域PTとパルプリッチ領域FTとを備え、血液凝集剤43を含有する吸収性シートからなる試料片をアルミ製の試料台にカーボン製の両面テープを用いて貼り付け、必要に応じて白金/バナジウムコーティングを行った後、SEM観察で拡大しながらEDX(元素分析装置)を用いて、高吸収性ポリマー41の元素のマッピング、パルプ42の元素のマッピング、血液凝集剤43の元素のマッピングを行う。測定は、15kV~40kVの加速電圧で行う。そして、得られた元素分布のマッピングを見比べて、血液凝集剤43の元素のマッピングが、高吸収性ポリマー41の元素のマッピングよりも、パルプ42の元素のマッピングに類似している場合に、血液凝集剤43がポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在していると判断する。 Whether
A sample piece comprising an absorbent sheet having a polymer-rich region PT and a pulp-rich region FT and containing a
また、血液凝集剤43がポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在している吸収性シートは、吸収性シートの製造工程において、パルプリッチ領域FTに対して選択的に血液凝集剤43を含有させれば作成できる。例えば、吸収性シートが上下各々にパルプリッチ領域FTであるパルプリッチ層と、ポリマーリッチ領域PTであるポリマーリッチ層とが重ねあわされた構造とする場合は、互いの層を別々に作成し、パルプリッチ層に、ポリマーリッチ層と重ねあわせる前に血液凝集剤43を含ませればよい。
Further, the absorbent sheet in which the blood coagulant 43 is present in the pulp rich region FT more than the polymer rich region PT is selectively used with respect to the pulp rich region FT in the manufacturing process of the absorbent sheet. It can be created if it contains. For example, when the absorbent sheet has a structure in which a pulp rich layer that is a pulp rich region FT and a polymer rich layer that is a polymer rich region PT are overlapped on each of the upper and lower sides, each other layer is created separately, A blood aggregating agent 43 may be included in the pulp-rich layer before overlapping with the polymer-rich layer.
例えば、特許2963647号記載の吸収性シートの場合について説明する。少なくとも親水性繊維及び熱溶融性接着繊維または紙力補強剤を含む水スラリーを湿式抄紙して抄造された、湿潤した繊維ウェブ上に高吸収性ポリマーを散布することにより高吸収性ポリマーが繊維間に入り込んだ高吸収性ポリマーリッチ層(ポリマーリッチ領域PT対応)を形成し、その上に親水性繊維及び熱溶融性接着繊維または紙力補強剤を含む繊維集合体が重ね合わせされ一体化、乾燥させて吸収性シートが製造されることで、重ね合わせされる繊維集合体がパルプリッチ層(パルプリッチ領域FT対応)となる。この重ね合わせる繊維集合体にあらかじめ凝集剤を含有させておく、あるいは、吸収シート製造工程中において、重ね合わせる繊維集合体に凝集剤を噴霧や塗工しながら吸収シートを製造することにより、吸水性ポリマーリッチ層よりパルプリッチ層に凝集剤を多く存在させることが可能となる。
なお、高吸収性ポリマーを散布する層は、湿潤ウェブに限られるものはなく、積繊パルプあるいは、抄紙、乾燥して製造された紙および不織布でもよい。高吸収性ポリマーが繊維間に入り込みやすい、という観点では、クレープ処理されたような嵩高な紙やエアースルー不織布などが好ましく、高吸収性ポリマーと高吸収性ポリマーリッチ層の繊維、及び高吸収性ポリマーリッチ層とパルプリッチ層の接着手段としてホットメルトや水溶性接着剤等を使用してもよい。更に高吸収性ポリマーリッチ層に親水性繊維を積繊する、あるいは吹き付けることでパルプリッチ層を形成してもよい。また、凝集剤の塗布方法としては、吸収シート製造後にパルプリッチ層側に凝集剤を噴霧や塗工してもよい。 For example, the case of the absorbent sheet described in Japanese Patent No. 2963647 will be described. The superabsorbent polymer is dispersed between the fibers by spraying the superabsorbent polymer on a wet fiber web made by wet papermaking with water slurry containing at least hydrophilic fiber and hot melt adhesive fiber or paper strength reinforcing agent. A superabsorbent polymer-rich layer (corresponding to polymer-rich region PT) is formed, and a fiber assembly containing hydrophilic fibers and hot-melt adhesive fibers or paper strength reinforcing agents is layered on top of each other and dried. Thus, by manufacturing the absorbent sheet, the fiber aggregate to be overlapped becomes a pulp rich layer (corresponding to the pulp rich region FT). By incorporating a flocculant in the fiber assembly to be overlapped in advance, or by manufacturing an absorbent sheet while spraying or coating the flocculant on the fiber aggregate to be overlapped, More flocculant can be present in the pulp rich layer than in the polymer rich layer.
The layer to which the superabsorbent polymer is dispersed is not limited to a wet web, and may be a piled pulp, papermaking, paper produced by drying, or a nonwoven fabric. From the viewpoint that the superabsorbent polymer can easily enter between fibers, bulky paper such as creped or air-through non-woven fabric is preferable, the fibers of the superabsorbent polymer and the superabsorbent polymer rich layer, and the superabsorbent A hot melt, a water-soluble adhesive, or the like may be used as an adhesion means between the polymer-rich layer and the pulp-rich layer. Furthermore, the pulp rich layer may be formed by stacking or spraying hydrophilic fibers on the superabsorbent polymer rich layer. In addition, as a method for applying the flocculant, the flocculant may be sprayed or applied to the pulp rich layer side after the production of the absorbent sheet.

Moreover, like the napkin 1, in order to form the vertical slit 44 in the absorber 4, the laminated body of an absorbent sheet should just be partially cut | disconnected by a well-known cutting means, for example, on the surrounding surface of a roll, A cutting device including a cutter roll in which a large number of cutting blades extending in the circumferential direction are dispersed in the circumferential direction and the axial length direction of the roll and an anvil roll that receives the blade of the cutter roll can be used.
上述したナプキン1の作用効果と推定メカニズムについて説明する。
ナプキン1では、図5に示すように、吸収性シートからなる吸収体4は、断面視して、相対的に高吸収性ポリマー41の多いポリマーリッチ領域PTと、相対的に高吸収性ポリマー41の少ないパルプリッチ領域FTとを有しており、パルプリッチ領域FTを肌対向面側に配して使用される部分において、血液凝集剤43が、少なくともパルプリッチ領域FTに存在している。その為、ナプキン1の使用中においては、肌対向面側のパルプリッチ領域FTの血液凝集剤43によって、経血が赤血球と血漿に分離された後、高吸収性ポリマー41に吸収することができ、経血を効果的に吸収することができる。また、経血が高吸収性ポリマー41に吸収される前に経血の赤血球と血漿が分離されることで、血液より粘度が低い血漿がパルプ42で拡散され、更に凝集された赤血球も血漿ほどではないがいっしょに拡散されることで、局所的に血球凝集塊が集まることが防止され、血液を繰り返し吸収する吸収速度が速くなり、経血の横漏れを防止することができる。特に、ナプキン1では、血液凝集剤43が、ポリマーリッチ領域PT及びパルプリッチ領域FTに存在しており、ポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在している。その為、肌対向面側のパルプリッチ領域FTで多くの血球凝集塊を分散させながらも留まらせ易く、ポリマーリッチ領域PTで効率的に血液の血漿を吸収することができ、血液を吸収する吸収速度が更に速くなり易く、経血の横漏れを更に防止することができる。 The operational effect and estimation mechanism of thenapkin 1 described above will be described.
In thenapkin 1, as shown in FIG. 5, the absorbent body 4 made of an absorbent sheet includes a polymer-rich region PT having a relatively high amount of the superabsorbent polymer 41 and a relatively superabsorbent polymer 41. In the portion where the pulp rich region FT is used on the skin facing surface side, the blood coagulant 43 is present at least in the pulp rich region FT. Therefore, during the use of the napkin 1, the menstrual blood is separated into red blood cells and plasma by the blood aggregating agent 43 in the pulp rich region FT on the skin facing surface side, and can be absorbed by the superabsorbent polymer 41. , Can effectively absorb menstrual blood. Also, menstrual blood erythrocytes and plasma are separated before menstrual blood is absorbed by the superabsorbent polymer 41, so that plasma having a viscosity lower than that of blood is diffused by the pulp 42, and further, the aggregated red blood cells are as much as plasma. However, by diffusing together, it is possible to prevent blood cell aggregates from collecting locally, the absorption rate for repeatedly absorbing blood is increased, and the side leakage of menstrual blood can be prevented. In particular, in the napkin 1, the blood coagulant 43 is present in the polymer rich region PT and the pulp rich region FT, and more in the pulp rich region FT than in the polymer rich region PT. Therefore, it is easy to disperse many blood cell aggregates in the pulp-rich region FT on the skin-opposing surface side, and it is possible to efficiently absorb blood plasma and absorb the blood in the polymer-rich region PT. The speed can be further increased, and the side leakage of menstrual blood can be further prevented.
ナプキン1では、図5に示すように、吸収性シートからなる吸収体4は、断面視して、相対的に高吸収性ポリマー41の多いポリマーリッチ領域PTと、相対的に高吸収性ポリマー41の少ないパルプリッチ領域FTとを有しており、パルプリッチ領域FTを肌対向面側に配して使用される部分において、血液凝集剤43が、少なくともパルプリッチ領域FTに存在している。その為、ナプキン1の使用中においては、肌対向面側のパルプリッチ領域FTの血液凝集剤43によって、経血が赤血球と血漿に分離された後、高吸収性ポリマー41に吸収することができ、経血を効果的に吸収することができる。また、経血が高吸収性ポリマー41に吸収される前に経血の赤血球と血漿が分離されることで、血液より粘度が低い血漿がパルプ42で拡散され、更に凝集された赤血球も血漿ほどではないがいっしょに拡散されることで、局所的に血球凝集塊が集まることが防止され、血液を繰り返し吸収する吸収速度が速くなり、経血の横漏れを防止することができる。特に、ナプキン1では、血液凝集剤43が、ポリマーリッチ領域PT及びパルプリッチ領域FTに存在しており、ポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在している。その為、肌対向面側のパルプリッチ領域FTで多くの血球凝集塊を分散させながらも留まらせ易く、ポリマーリッチ領域PTで効率的に血液の血漿を吸収することができ、血液を吸収する吸収速度が更に速くなり易く、経血の横漏れを更に防止することができる。 The operational effect and estimation mechanism of the
In the
また、ナプキン1では、図3及び図4に示すように、吸収体4が吸収性シートで形成された多層構造となっている。その為、それぞれのシート間に空間が形成されており、該空間が抵抗となり、表面側吸収性シート401a内で形成された血球凝集塊が、401aより下層のシートへ移行し難く、裏面シート3側に進むほど、血液の血漿が増え易く、拡散し易い。また、血漿は次のシートに浸透、拡散するよりもシート間のわずかな空間の間でも容易に拡散することができ、血液を吸収する吸収速度が更に速くなり易く、経血の横漏れを更に防止することができる。
Moreover, in the napkin 1, as shown in FIG.3 and FIG.4, it has the multilayer structure in which the absorber 4 was formed with the absorbent sheet. Therefore, a space is formed between the respective sheets, the space becomes resistance, and the blood cell aggregate formed in the front-side absorbent sheet 401a is difficult to move to a lower layer sheet from 401a. The more it moves to the side, the easier it is for blood plasma to increase and to diffuse. In addition, plasma can easily diffuse even in a small space between sheets, rather than permeate and diffuse into the next sheet, and the absorption rate for absorbing blood can be further increased, thereby further reducing the side leakage of menstrual blood. Can be prevented.
また、ナプキン1では、図1~図3に示すように、吸収体4が、排泄部対向部Bに縦スリット44を有している。その為、経血を縦方向Xに移行させ易く、経血の横漏れを更に防止することができる。更に、吸収体4の縦スリット44が設けられた部分には空間が形成されて表面シート2からの経血が取り込み易くなっていて、経血が吸収体4の厚み方向に浸入し易く、また、縦スリット44の断面で吸収体4の面方向へと経血が浸入し易くなっている。このため、たとえ吸収体4の肌当接面側において血球凝集塊が一か所にまとまって存在することが生じても、経血が吸収体4の裏面シート側に浸入、吸収され易いので漏れが生じ難くなる。また、吸収体4における非肌対向面側に血液凝集剤が存在する場合には、当該領域で効率的な経血の吸収ができるので、吸収速度が劇的に早くなるというメリットがある。
Further, in the napkin 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the absorbent body 4 has a vertical slit 44 in the excretory part facing part B. Therefore, menstrual blood can be easily transferred in the vertical direction X, and the side leakage of menstrual blood can be further prevented. Further, a space is formed in the portion of the absorbent body 4 where the vertical slits 44 are provided so that menstrual blood from the surface sheet 2 can be easily taken in, and menstrual blood can easily enter the thickness direction of the absorbent body 4. Further, menstrual blood easily enters the surface of the absorbent body 4 in the cross section of the vertical slit 44. For this reason, even if blood cell aggregates exist in one place on the skin contact surface side of the absorbent body 4, the menstrual blood easily enters the back sheet side of the absorbent body 4 and is absorbed and leaked. Is less likely to occur. Further, when a blood aggregating agent is present on the non-skin facing surface side of the absorbent body 4, efficient absorption of menstrual blood can be performed in the region, so that there is an advantage that the absorption speed is dramatically increased.
また、縦スリット44の切断部は、切り込み加工する際にやや圧縮されることが多いため、縦スリット44が設けられていない部分と比べると密度が高くなっており、更に吸収スピードが高められる。また、縦スリット44が吸収体4を完全に貫通することで、吸収体4へ到達した液は、吸収体4の非肌対向面側へ到達しやすくなり吸収体4を効率的に使用した吸収が可能になり、吸収容量の向上と液戻り抑制の点から有利である。吸収体4に設けられたスリットによるこれらの効果は、血液凝集剤43がパルプリッチ領域FTのみに存在している場合、ポリマーリッチ領域PT及びパルプリッチ領域FTに存在している場合で両領域に血液凝集剤43が同等量存在しているケース、又はパルプリッチ領域FTにポリマーリッチ領域PTよりも血液凝集剤43が多く存在しているケースの何れでも発現が期待される。
Also, since the cut portion of the vertical slit 44 is often slightly compressed when cutting, the density is higher than that of the portion where the vertical slit 44 is not provided, and the absorption speed is further increased. In addition, since the vertical slit 44 completely penetrates the absorber 4, the liquid that has reached the absorber 4 easily reaches the non-skin facing surface side of the absorber 4, and the absorption using the absorber 4 efficiently. This is advantageous from the viewpoint of improving the absorption capacity and suppressing the liquid return. These effects due to the slits provided in the absorbent body 4 are obtained when the blood coagulant 43 is present only in the pulp rich region FT, or in both regions when the blood aggregating agent 43 is present in the polymer rich region PT and the pulp rich region FT. Expression is expected in either the case where the blood coagulant 43 is present in an equivalent amount or the case where the pulp rich region FT contains more blood coagulant 43 than the polymer rich region PT.
また、ナプキン1では、図1及び図3に示すように、表面シート2と吸収体4との間に、不織布によって構成されたセカンドシート5が配されている。その為、吸収体4に形成される血球凝集塊が、セカンドシート5でカバーされ、表面に戻ってべたつきを感じさせることを防止すると共に、表面シート2側から視認し難く、使用者に不快感を与えることを防止できる。
Moreover, in the napkin 1, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.3, the 2nd sheet | seat 5 comprised by the nonwoven fabric is distribute | arranged between the surface sheet 2 and the absorber 4. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the blood cell aggregate formed in the absorbent body 4 is covered with the second sheet 5 to prevent the blood cell agglomeration from returning to the surface and making it feel sticky. Can be prevented.
以上、本発明をその好ましい実施形態に基づき説明したが、本発明の吸収性物品は前記実施形態のナプキン1に何ら制限されるものではなく、適宜変更可能である。
例えば、上述したナプキン1では、吸収体4が吸収性シートからなる構造であったが、これに代えて、親水性繊維及び/又は高吸収性ポリマーを積繊したタイプの吸収体構造であって、肌対向面側と非肌対向面側で親水性繊維と高吸収性ポリマーの配合比率が異なるポリマーリッチ領域と親水性繊維リッチ領域を備える構成であっても良い。更に、上述の積繊したタイプの吸収体構造を親水性のコアラップ材で全体を覆う構造としても良い。ただし、親水性のコアラップ材で積繊タイプの吸収体構造を覆う構造の吸収体場合、該コアラップを除いた親水性繊維リッチ領域に血液凝集剤が含まれていることが必要である。 As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on the preferable embodiment, the absorbent article of this invention is not restrict | limited to thenapkin 1 of the said embodiment at all, and can be changed suitably.
For example, in thenapkin 1 described above, the absorbent body 4 has a structure made of an absorbent sheet. Instead, the absorbent body structure has a structure in which hydrophilic fibers and / or superabsorbent polymers are stacked. In addition, the structure may include a polymer rich region and a hydrophilic fiber rich region in which the blending ratio of the hydrophilic fiber and the superabsorbent polymer is different on the skin facing surface side and the non-skin facing surface side. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which covers the whole absorber structure of the above-mentioned pile type with a hydrophilic core wrap material. However, in the case of an absorbent body having a structure in which the pile-type absorbent structure is covered with a hydrophilic core wrap material, it is necessary that the hydrophilic fiber-rich region excluding the core wrap contains a blood coagulant.
例えば、上述したナプキン1では、吸収体4が吸収性シートからなる構造であったが、これに代えて、親水性繊維及び/又は高吸収性ポリマーを積繊したタイプの吸収体構造であって、肌対向面側と非肌対向面側で親水性繊維と高吸収性ポリマーの配合比率が異なるポリマーリッチ領域と親水性繊維リッチ領域を備える構成であっても良い。更に、上述の積繊したタイプの吸収体構造を親水性のコアラップ材で全体を覆う構造としても良い。ただし、親水性のコアラップ材で積繊タイプの吸収体構造を覆う構造の吸収体場合、該コアラップを除いた親水性繊維リッチ領域に血液凝集剤が含まれていることが必要である。 As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on the preferable embodiment, the absorbent article of this invention is not restrict | limited to the
For example, in the
また、ナプキン1では、図4に示すように、表面側吸収性シート401a及び裏面側吸収性シート401bからなる2層構造を形成する本体吸収性シート401に、血液凝集剤43が配されているが、図6に示すように、本体吸収性シート401に血液凝集剤43が配されておらず、上側吸収性シート402a、中間吸収性シート402c及び下側吸収性シート402bからなる3層構造を形成する中央吸収性シート402に、血液凝集剤43が配されていてもよい。図6に示す吸収体4において、中央吸収性シート402は、上述したように、巻き状に3つ折りした3層構造となっているので、上側吸収性シート402a及び中間吸収性シート402cが、それぞれ、パルプリッチ領域FTを肌対向面側に配して使用されており、下側吸収性シート402bが、パルプリッチ領域FTを非肌対向面側に配して使用されている。そして、パルプリッチ領域FTを肌対向面側に配して使用される上側吸収性シート402a及び中間吸収性シート402cにおいて、血液凝集剤43は、ポリマーリッチ領域PT及びパルプリッチ領域FTに存在しており、ポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在している。また、パルプリッチ領域FTを非肌対向面側に配して使用さている、言い換えれば、ポリマーリッチ領域PTを肌対向面側に配して使用さている下側吸収性シート402bにおいて、血液凝集剤43は、ポリマーリッチ領域PT及びパルプリッチ領域FTに存在しており、ポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在している。尚、表面側吸収性シート401aは、パルプリッチ領域FTを肌対向面側に配して使用されているが、血液凝集剤43は配されていない。また、裏面側吸収性シート401bは、パルプリッチ領域FTを非肌対向面側に配して使用されているが、血液凝集剤43は配されていない。図6に示す吸収体4によれば、1枚の本体吸収性シート401の折り畳み構造の内部に配される中央吸収性シート402において、血液凝集剤43がポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在しているので、排泄が同じ吸収部位で繰り返されたとしても吸収表面での血球凝集塊による吸収阻害が起こりにくく、吸収速度が速くなる効果を奏する。
Moreover, in the napkin 1, as shown in FIG. 4, the blood aggregating agent 43 is arranged on the main body absorbent sheet 401 forming a two-layer structure composed of the front side absorbent sheet 401a and the back side absorbent sheet 401b. However, as shown in FIG. 6, blood coagulant 43 is not arranged on the main body absorbent sheet 401, and a three-layer structure comprising an upper absorbent sheet 402a, an intermediate absorbent sheet 402c, and a lower absorbent sheet 402b. The blood aggregating agent 43 may be disposed on the central absorbent sheet 402 to be formed. In the absorbent body 4 shown in FIG. 6, as described above, the central absorbent sheet 402 has a three-layer structure in which the central absorbent sheet 402 is folded in three, so that the upper absorbent sheet 402a and the intermediate absorbent sheet 402c are respectively The pulp rich region FT is used on the skin facing surface side, and the lower absorbent sheet 402b is used with the pulp rich region FT arranged on the non-skin facing surface side. In the upper absorbent sheet 402a and the intermediate absorbent sheet 402c that are used with the pulp rich region FT disposed on the skin facing surface side, the blood aggregating agent 43 is present in the polymer rich region PT and the pulp rich region FT. More in the pulp rich region FT than in the polymer rich region PT. Further, in the lower absorbent sheet 402b in which the pulp-rich region FT is used on the non-skin facing surface side, in other words, in the lower absorbent sheet 402b that is used by placing the polymer-rich region PT on the skin facing surface side, a blood coagulant 43 exists in the polymer rich region PT and the pulp rich region FT, and is present more in the pulp rich region FT than in the polymer rich region PT. In addition, although the surface side absorbent sheet 401a is used with the pulp rich region FT disposed on the skin facing surface side, the blood aggregating agent 43 is not disposed. Further, the back side absorbent sheet 401b is used with the pulp rich region FT disposed on the non-skin facing surface side, but the blood coagulant 43 is not disposed. According to the absorbent body 4 shown in FIG. 6, in the central absorbent sheet 402 arranged inside the folded structure of the single main body absorbent sheet 401, the blood aggregating agent 43 is in the pulp rich region FT rather than the polymer rich region PT. Therefore, even if excretion is repeated at the same absorption site, absorption inhibition due to blood cell aggregates on the absorption surface hardly occurs, and the absorption rate is increased.
また、図7に示すように、上側吸収性シート402a、中間吸収性シート402c及び下側吸収性シート402bからなる3層構造を形成する中央吸収性シート402に、血液凝集剤43が配され、本体吸収性シート401にも血液凝集剤43が配されていてもよい。図7に示す吸収体4は、本体吸収性シート401が形成する表面側吸収性シート401aが、パルプリッチ領域FTを肌対向面側に配して使用され、本体吸収性シート401が形成する裏面側吸収性シート401bが、パルプリッチ領域FTを非肌対向面側に配して使用されている。そして、パルプリッチ領域FTを肌対向面側に配して使用される表面側吸収性シート401aにおいて、血液凝集剤43は、ポリマーリッチ領域PT及びパルプリッチ領域FTに存在しており、ポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在している。また、パルプリッチ領域FTを非肌対向面側に配して使用さている、言い換えれば、ポリマーリッチ領域PTを肌対向面側に配して使用されている裏面側吸収性シート401bにおいて、血液凝集剤43は、ポリマーリッチ領域PT及びパルプリッチ領域FTに存在しており、ポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在している。また、上側吸収性シート402a及び中間吸収性シート402cが、それぞれ、パルプリッチ領域FTを肌対向面側に配して使用されており、下側吸収性シート402bが、パルプリッチ領域FTを非肌対向面側に配して使用されている。そして、パルプリッチ領域FTを肌対向面側に配して使用される上側吸収性シート402a及び中間吸収性シート402cにおいて、血液凝集剤43は、ポリマーリッチ領域PT及びパルプリッチ領域FTに存在しており、ポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在している。また、パルプリッチ領域FTを非肌対向面側に配して使用している、言い換えれば、ポリマーリッチ領域PTを肌対向面側に配して使用している下側吸収性シート402bにおいて、血液凝集剤43は、ポリマーリッチ領域PT及びパルプリッチ領域FTに存在しており、ポリマーリッチ領域PTよりもパルプリッチ領域FTに多く存在している。図7に示す吸収体4によれば、何れの吸収性シート401a,401b,402a,402b,402cも血液凝集剤43を有しているので、血液を吸収する吸収速度が更に速くなり易く、経血の横漏れを更に防止することができる。
In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the blood aggregating agent 43 is disposed on the central absorbent sheet 402 that forms a three-layer structure including the upper absorbent sheet 402a, the intermediate absorbent sheet 402c, and the lower absorbent sheet 402b. A blood aggregating agent 43 may also be disposed on the main body absorbent sheet 401. In the absorbent body 4 shown in FIG. 7, the front surface side absorbent sheet 401 a formed by the main body absorbent sheet 401 is used with the pulp rich region FT disposed on the skin facing surface side, and the back surface formed by the main body absorbent sheet 401. The side absorbent sheet 401b is used with the pulp rich region FT disposed on the non-skin facing surface side. And in the surface side absorbent sheet 401a used by arranging the pulp rich region FT on the skin facing surface side, the blood coagulant 43 is present in the polymer rich region PT and the pulp rich region FT, and the polymer rich region It exists more in the pulp rich region FT than in PT. Further, in the back-side absorbent sheet 401b that is used with the pulp-rich region FT disposed on the non-skin facing surface side, in other words, with the polymer-rich region PT disposed on the skin facing surface side, blood aggregation The agent 43 is present in the polymer rich region PT and the pulp rich region FT, and is present more in the pulp rich region FT than in the polymer rich region PT. Further, the upper absorbent sheet 402a and the intermediate absorbent sheet 402c are respectively used with the pulp rich region FT disposed on the skin facing surface side, and the lower absorbent sheet 402b is used for the non-skinned pulp rich region FT. Used on the opposite side. In the upper absorbent sheet 402a and the intermediate absorbent sheet 402c that are used with the pulp rich region FT disposed on the skin facing surface side, the blood aggregating agent 43 is present in the polymer rich region PT and the pulp rich region FT. More in the pulp rich region FT than in the polymer rich region PT. Further, in the lower absorbent sheet 402b in which the pulp-rich region FT is disposed on the non-skin facing surface side, in other words, in the lower absorbent sheet 402b in which the polymer-rich region PT is disposed on the skin facing surface side, The flocculant 43 is present in the polymer rich region PT and the pulp rich region FT, and more in the pulp rich region FT than in the polymer rich region PT. According to the absorbent body 4 shown in FIG. 7, since any of the absorbent sheets 401a, 401b, 402a, 402b, and 402c has the blood aggregating agent 43, the absorption rate for absorbing blood is likely to be further increased. Lateral leakage of blood can be further prevented.
また、図4、図6及び図7に示すように、吸収体4が吸収性シートで形成された多層構造となっている場合に、含有される血液凝集剤43は、何れの吸収性シート401a,401b,402a,402b,402cにおいても同じ血液凝集剤43であってもよいし、異なる血液凝集剤43であってもよい。
