Saugkörper, insbesondere für Hygieneprodukte, wie Binden, Tampons, Windeln und Verbandsmaterial, wie Wundkompressen, oder dergleichenAbsorbent bodies, in particular for hygiene products such as sanitary towels, tampons, diapers and dressing materials such as wound compresses or the like

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Saugkörper, insbesondere für Hygieneprodukte, wie Binden, Tampons, Windeln und Verbandsmaterial, wie Wundkompressen, oder dergleichen aus Cellulose.The invention is directed to an absorbent body, in particular for hygiene products, such as sanitary napkins, tampons, diapers and dressing materials, such as wound compresses, or the like made of cellulose.

Eine wichtige Anforderung an derartige Produkte besteht darin, daß sie einen hohen Tragekomfort und eine gute Hautverträglichkeit bei sehr hohem Saugvermögen aufweisen müssen. Da derartige Produkte nach dem Gebrauch als Müll entsorgt werden müssen, wurde in jüngerer Zeit verstärkt auch die Forderung nach einer möglichst guten biologischen Abbaubarkeit erhoben, so daß solche Produkte vorzugsweise kompostierbar sein sollen.An important requirement for such products is that they must be very comfortable to wear and be well tolerated by the skin, with a very high absorbency. Since such products must be disposed of as waste after use, there has recently been an increasing demand for them to be as biodegradable as possible, so that such products should preferably be compostable.

Hinsichtlich des Absorptionsvermögens sind chemische Superabsorbens-Materialien entwickelt worden, welche zwar eine außerordentlich gute Absorptionsfähigkeit aufweisen, hinsichtlich ihrer Abbaubarkeit jedoch nicht zufriedenstellend sind.In terms of absorption capacity, chemical superabsorbent materials have been developed which, although they have exceptionally good absorption capacity, are not satisfactory in terms of their degradability.

Aus der DE 41 22 359 C2 ist es zu diesem Zweck bekannt, saugfähige Materialien mit hoher Absorptions- und Retentionsfahigkeit für Körperflüssigkeiten pflanzlicher Herkunft mit in hohem Maße Flüssigkeiten absorbierenden chemischen Substanzen zu kombinieren und mit Umhüllungen insbesondere pflanzlicher Herkunft zu umgeben.For this purpose, it is known from DE 41 22 359 C2 to combine absorbent materials with high absorption and retention capacity for body fluids of plant origin with chemical substances that absorb liquids to a high degree and to surround them with coverings, in particular of plant origin.

Eine derartige Lösung stellt zwar einen gewissen Fortschritt dar, ist aber mit dem erwähnten Nachteil behaftet, daß gleichwohl noch chemische Absorbens-Materialien verwendet werden.

Although such a solution represents a certain progress, it suffers from the aforementioned disadvantage that chemical absorbent materials are still used.

Aus DE 44 09 465 Al und DE 42 42 538 Al ist es an sich bekannt, Naturfasern zur Herstellung verrottbarer Saugkörper einzusetzen. Diese Produkte sind zwar hinsichtlich ihrer biologischen Eigenschaften, insbesondere der Verrottbarkeit, befriedigend, weisen demgegenüber aber keine gute Körperverträglichkeit und eine zu niedrige Saugfähigkeit auf.From DE 44 09 465 Al and DE 42 42 538 Al it is known to use natural fibers to produce degradable absorbent bodies. Although these products are satisfactory in terms of their biological properties, in particular degradability, they are not well tolerated by the body and their absorbency is too low.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Saugkörper der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß er mit oder ohne entsprechende Umhüllung sowohl optimale Absorptionseigenschaften als auch Trageeigenschaften aufweist und andererseits biologisch gut abbaubar ist.Based on this, the invention is based on the object of designing an absorbent body of the type mentioned at the beginning in such a way that it has both optimal absorption properties and wearing properties with or without a corresponding covering and, on the other hand, is easily biodegradable.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Saugkörper ausschließlich aus einem Zellstoff besteht, der aus Hanf gewonnen ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the absorbent body consists exclusively of a cellulose obtained from hemp.

Die Verwendung von Zellstoff für Hygieneprodukte ist an sich seit langem bekannt. Herkömmliche Zellstoffe werden aus lignocellulose-haltigen natürlichen Rohstoffen wie Stroh, Schilf, insbesondere aber aus Holz durch ein Aufschlußverfahren gewonnen. Dabei hat das sogenannte Sulfat-Verfahren die größte Bedeutung. Daneben existieren Aufschlußverfahren mit Natronlauge oder Salpetersäure. Alle diese Verfahren haben das Ziel, Lignin und andere Cellulose-Begleitstoffe möglichst weitgehend zu entfer-The use of cellulose for hygiene products has long been known. Conventional cellulose is obtained from natural raw materials containing lignocellulose, such as straw, reeds, but especially from wood, using a pulping process. The so-called sulfate process is the most important. There are also pulping processes using caustic soda or nitric acid. All of these processes aim to remove lignin and other cellulose-associated substances as much as possible.

nen, wobei die genannten Verfahren wegen gravierender Abwasser- und Abluftprobleme aber äußerst problematisch sind. Beim Versuch, umweltfreundliche Aufschlußverfahren zu realisieren, ist man insbesondere auf Verfahren ausgewichen, bei welchen die Extraktion der Holzbegleitstoffe mit organischen Lösungsmitteln bei erhöhter Temperatur und erhöhtem Druck bewerkstelligt wird. Diese Verfahren sind beispielsweise als Organosolf-Verfahren, Organocell-Verfahren oder Alcell-Verfahren bekannt geworden. Gegenüber diesen vorbekannten Verfahren liegt der Erfindung die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß bei Produkten der in Befracht stehenden Art von entscheidender Bedeutung die Auswahl des Ausgangsproduktes ist, d.h. daß man nicht ein beliebiges lignin-haltiges Ausgangsprodukt, welches gerade in hinreichender Menge, wie Holz, verfügbar ist, verwendet, sondern ein solches Ausgangsprodukt, welches auch dem fertigen Cellulose-Produkt die für die Anwendung als Hygieneprodukt wichtigen Eigenschaften verleiht.The processes mentioned are extremely problematic due to serious waste water and exhaust air problems. In attempts to implement environmentally friendly pulping processes, processes have been used in particular in which the extraction of the wood-related substances is carried out using organic solvents at elevated temperatures and pressure. These processes are known, for example, as the Organosolf process, Organocell process or Alcell process. Compared to these previously known processes, the invention is based on the knowledge that the selection of the starting product is of crucial importance for products of the type in question, i.e. that one does not use just any lignin-containing starting product that is available in sufficient quantities, such as wood, but rather a starting product that also gives the finished cellulose product the properties that are important for use as a hygiene product.

Dabei wurde festgestellt, daß Hanf als Ausgangsprodukt deshalb optimale Eigenschaften aufweist, weil der Ligningehalt von Haus aus niedriger ist und dementsprechend ökologisch unbedenkliche Aufschlußverfahren verwendet werden können und auch ein Saugkörper aus einer derartigen Hanf-Cellulose sehr vorteilhafte Eigenschaften aufweist, indem er sowohl sehr saugfähig ist und dementsprechend ohne chemisches Absorbens auskommt und andererseits arm an anderen chemischen Zusatzstoffen, wie z.B. Bleichmitteln, ausgestaltet werden kann, so daß eine hohe Körperverträglichkeit auch bei Allergikern erreicht wird.It was found that hemp as a starting product has optimal properties because the lignin content is naturally lower and ecologically harmless pulping processes can be used accordingly, and an absorbent body made of such hemp cellulose also has very advantageous properties in that it is very absorbent and therefore does not require any chemical absorbent and on the other hand can be designed to be low in other chemical additives, such as bleaching agents, so that a high body tolerance is achieved even for allergy sufferers.

Wenn im Vorstehenden also davon die Rede ist, daß ein erfindungsgemäßer Saugkörper ausschließlich aus Hanf-Cellulose besteht, so bedeutet dies,When it is mentioned above that an absorbent body according to the invention consists exclusively of hemp cellulose, this means

daß kein Absorbens eingesetzt wird, daß aber natürlich Zusatzstoffe, wie z.B. geruchsneutralisierende Stoffe, eingesetzt sein können.that no absorbent is used, but that additives, such as odor-neutralizing substances, can of course be used.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß eine an sich bekannte Umhüllung aus einem vliesartigen Stoff, vorzugsweise pflanzlichen Ursprungs, eingesetzt wird.In a further embodiment, it is provided that a known covering made of a fleece-like material, preferably of plant origin, is used.
