Abstract

The present invention provides a water-absorbing agent that includes water-absorbent resin particles as essential components and is suitable for a sanitary material. A water-absorbing agent of the present invention includes water-absorbent resin particles obtained by polymerizing an unsaturated monomer having an acid group. The water-absorbing agent has centrifuge retention capacity (CRC) of 5 to 20 g/g and includes: a compound with a structure unit derived from polyalkyleneglycol other than the unsaturated monomer; and a multivalent metal salt, and accordingly the water-absorbing agent has high saline flow conductivity (SFC) in a range of the above centrifuge retention capacity (CRC).
