Abstract
Abstract The invention provides an absorbent panel which consists of a paper, film or fabric substrate coated on at least one surface with a reactive composition containing from 10 to 40 parts by weight of a liquid polyhydroxy organic compound and from 90 to 60 parts by weight of a particulate water-insoluble, water-swellable absorbent polymer having a gel capacity of at least 10. The absorbent panel is capable of absorbing at least 15 times its weight of liquid and is a thin structure.
