Patent ID: 8728051

Claim:
A laminate comprising a layer of nonwoven material attached to a layer of film, wherein: the layer of nonwoven material comprises filaments of a first polymer and a second polymer; the first polymer has a first melt temperature, and the second polymer has a second melt temperature, wherein the second melt temperature is higher than the first melt temperature, and wherein the first polymer and the second polymer form a bicomponent filament; the layer of nonwoven material is thermally bonded; the layer of nonwoven material has a machine direction and a cross direction; the layer of nonwoven material has: a basis weight that is less than or equal to 25 gsm; a neckdown modulus in the cross direction that is greater than or equal to 1000 N/m and less than or equal to 3000 N/m; a tensile strength in the cross direction that is less than or equal to 4 N/cm; and an extensibility in the cross direction that is greater than or equal to 80% and less than or equal to 300%.
