Abstract:
1. A process of manufacturing a stretch composite, the process comprising the steps of: a) providing a polyolefin based substrate, wherein the substrate has a thickness between about 0.05 millimeters and about 2 millimeters; b) providing a letterpress adhesive application system comprising a pattern roll and an applicator roll; c) depositing a molten, non-adhesive, elastomeric composition onto the applicator roll, wherein the elastomeric composition has a viscosity that is greater than 1000 Pascals·S at a temperature of 175 degrees Celsius; d) transferring only a portion of the elastomeric composition that is on the applicator roll, from the applicator roll to the pattern roll, by contacting the pattern roll with the elastomeric composition that is on the applicator roll; and e) transferring substantially all of the elastomeric composition from the pattern roll to the substrate, by contacting the substrate with the elastomeric composition that is on the pattern roll, without damaging the substrate.
