<p>A process for the manufacture of a vapor permeable, liquid impermeable composite material (10, 12) comprising a three-dimensional apertured substrate (12) having a vapor permeable, liquid impermeable coating material (10) thereon, the substantially liquid impervious composite material, and an apparatus (38, 40, 42, 46, 48) for making the composite material, are diclosed. Successive portions of a continuous sheet of an apertural substrate are passed into contact with a continuous moving perforated member. The coating material is supplied onto the substrate. The coated substrate is subjected to a vacuum which causes the coating material to flow onto the substrate material, and in certain embodiments, at least partially into the apertures in the substrate. The vacuum is maintained for a period of time sufficient for the coating material to adhere to the substrate. The coated portions of the substrate are continuously removed from the moving member.</p> |
