BREATHABLE, LIQUID-IMPERMEABLE, APERTURED FILM/NONWOVEN LAMINATE

摘要

A breathable, liquid-impermeable, apertured film/nonwoven laminate (10) is provided for use as a backsheet on various absorbent articles such as diapers, sanitary napkins, incontinent garments, and the like. The laminate is formed from a breathable polymeric film layer (20), an apertured film layer (30), and a nonwoven web layer (12). The layers may be attached in an arrangement where the breathable polymeric film layer is sandwiched between the nonwoven web layer and apertured film layer, or where the apertured film layer is sandwiched between the nonwoven web layer and the breathable film layer. A process for making the laminate is also provided.
