Abstract:
1. A method of forming a composite, the method comprising: extruding an elastomeric composition directly onto a surface of a nonwoven facing to form an elastic film, wherein the nonwoven facing has a basis weight of about 45 grams per square meter or less and a peak load of about 350 grams-force per inch or less in the cross-machine direction; and allowing the film to bond to the nonwoven facing to form a composite, wherein the composite exhibits a peak elongation of about 75% or more in the machine direction, cross-machine direction, or both, wherein the elastomeric composition is co-extruded in conjunction with a thermoplastic composition so that the elastomeric composition forms an elastic layer positioned adjacent to the surface of the nonwoven facing and the thermoplastic composition forms a thermoplastic layer positioned adjacent to the elastic layer.
