Abstract
This absorbent sheet (1) has: an absorbent core (10) provided with a liquid-absorbing fiber and a superabsorbent polymer; a liquid-permeable front sheet (11); and a back sheet (12). The maximum thickness of the absorbent sheet (1) is 2.0 mm or less, and both the average value of longitudinal bending rigidity B of the absorbent sheet (1) according to KES and the average value of lateral bending rigidity B of the absorbent sheet (1) according to KES are 0.5 gf·cm2/cm or more.
Claims12
An absorbent sheet having a longitudinal direction, a lateral direction, and
- a thickness direction that are orthogonal to each other, the absorbent sheet comprising:
- an absorbent core having liquid-absorbent fiber and superabsorbent polymer;
- a top-face sheet disposed on a top-face side in the thickness direction with respect to the absorbent core,
- the top-face sheet being liquid permeable;
- and
- a back-face sheet disposed on a back-face side in the thickness direction with respect to the absorbent core,
- a maximum thickness of the absorbent sheet being 2.0 mm or less,
- an average value of a bending rigidity B of the absorbent sheet in the longitudinal direction according to a KES method being 0.5 gf·cm2/cm or more,
- an average value of a bending rigidity B of the absorbent sheet in the lateral direction according to the KES method being 0.5 gf·cm2/cm or more.
An absorbent sheet having a longitudinal direction, a lateral direction, and
- a thickness direction that are orthogonal to each other, the absorbent sheet comprising:
- an absorbent core having liquid-absorbent fiber and superabsorbent polymer;
- a top-face sheet disposed on a top-face side in the thickness direction with respect to the absorbent core,
- the top-face sheet being liquid permeable;
- and
- a back-face sheet disposed on a back-face side in the thickness direction with respect to the absorbent core,
- the absorbent sheet being divided into four portions in the longitudinal direction and into four portions in the lateral direction,
- the divided portions in the absorbent sheet being defined as divided regions, in the absorbent sheet subjected to a drop test,
- the drop test being performed by dropping artificial urine at a predetermined position on the absorbent sheet,
- the divided regions where the artificial urine diffuses being defined as diffusion divided regions,
- the absorbent sheet before the drop test having a pre-absorption thickness that is a thickness of a portion of each of the diffusion divided regions where the absorbent core is present,
- the absorbent sheet after the drop test having a post-absorption thickness that is a thickness of a portion of each of the diffusion divided regions where the absorbent core is present,
- a CV value that indicates variation in a value obtained by subtracting the pre-absorption thickness from the post-absorption thickness in each of the diffusion divided regions, being 30% or less,
- a maximum value obtained by subtracting the pre-absorption thickness from the post-absorption thickness in each of the diffusion divided regions, being 1 mm or more.
