ABSTRACT:
Absorbent composite structures containing fluff pulp and a superabsorbent material, such as those useful for disposable diapers, can be made to be flushable if the superabsorbent has the requisite properties. It has been found that flushability of such composite structures is enhanced when using superabsorbent materials having a ratio of the Absorbency Under Load (AUL) to the Centrifuge Retention Capacity (CRC) of about 0.70 or greater.
