Abstract

An absorbent composite sheet mainly consisting of a fibrous substrate web, a super absorbent polymer, and a bonding component bonding both of them with each other, wherein (a) the fibrous substrate web is a non-bonded web with a few of the constituent fibers bonded with each other, (b) a liquid mixture system is used of a medium mainly consisting of the super absorbent polymer and the bonding component, (c) a composite web is formed by adding the liquid mixture system to the fibrous substrate web, and (d) a liquid component is separated from the composite web so that fixing of the super absorbent polymer to the fibrous substrate web and bonding of the webs of the fibrous substrate web with one another are carried out at the same time. Methods of manufacturing such absorbent composite sheets are also provided.
