Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention relates to cross-linked synthetic polymers based on acrylic acid and its derivatives with a high absorbency and improved absorbency rate for water aqueous solutions, and bodily fluids, a process for their production by radical polymerisation in conditions leading to polymers having a porous structure and a particle density depending on the degree of swelling so that the polymer particles can float in water or aqueous fluids and the use of these polymers for the absorption and/or retention of water and the transfer of water and/or an active agent solution to a surrounding medium. The porous structure of the polymer is formed by nitrogen dispersed in it. At least one azo …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed December 19, 1994 and granted March 28, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 19, 2014.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 19, 2016.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
