Abstract:
1. A method of forming a continuous film layer of a thermoplastic composition onto a substrate, said method comprising the steps of: a) providing a molten thermoplastic composition; b) advancing a web along a path; c) dispensing a continuous film of said thermoplastic composition from a coating device in a substantially horizontal direction and at a coating temperature wherein the thermoplastic composition has a complex viscosity of less than about 500 poise at about 1000 radians/seconds at the coating temperature and a complex viscosity ranging from about 100 poise to about 1,000 poise at about 1 radian/second at the coating temperature; d) suspending said film between said coating device and said web; and e) contacting said film with said advancing web, wherein the thermoplastic composition is released from the coating device at a temperature of less than about 160° C.
