WETTABLE APERTURED PLASTIC FILMS AND PRODUCTS CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

Apertured polymeric films with enhanced fluid penetration characteristics, and absorbent products utilizing such fims as coverstock, are disclosed. The films have a multiplicity of small apertures and comprise two layers, an upper layer comprising at least 80 % by weight low density polyethylene and a lower layer comprising at least 80 % by weight ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. Enhanced fluid penetration characteristics are obtained by the inclusion of a wetting agent in the lower, ethylene-vinyl acetate layer.
