HYGROSCOPIC ADDITIVE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61L15/60 A61L15/26 

FIELD: medicine, special additives.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hygroscopic additive that represents particles of hygroscopic additive containing particles of hygroscopic resin (α) and additive improving penetrability for liquid (β) wherein particles of hygroscopic resin (α) represent particles of cross-linked polymer formed from a monomer comprising acrylic acid and/or its salt and subjected for treatment resulting to formation of cross-links on its surface. Particles of the proposed hygroscopic additive show average-mass diameter (D50) in the range from 234 to 394 mcm, logarithm standard deviation (σξ) for distribution of particles by sizes in the range from 0.25 to 0.45, absorbing capacity without loading 15 g/g, not less, and the level of the water-extractive component content 15 wt.-%, not above, and, except for, the level of the additive content improving penetrability of liquids (β) in the range from 0.01 to 5 mass parts per 100 mass parts of particles of hygroscopic resin (α). Proposed hygroscopic additive combines exploitation indices describing both capillary absorption strength and penetrability for a liquid.

EFFECT: improved and valuable properties of additive.
