An elastomeric saturated nonwoven material having compressibility and recovery in the Z-direction, good tensile properties, breathability, and abrasion resistance is provided. The elastomeric saturated nonwoven material includes a fibrous nonwoven web such as, for example, a nonwoven web of meltblown fibers. The fibrous nonwoven web may be saturated with a polymeric material (e.g., elastomeric acrylic latex, polyurethane latex, nitrile rubber latex). Various methods of forming the elastomeric saturated nonwoven materials are disclosed. Laminates containing at least one layer of the saturated material and a method of making such laminates are also disclosed. The elastomeric saturated nonwoven material may be used as, for example, a printing cushion, a component of a printing blanket, gaskets, or vibration dampening pad. |
