Patent ID: 8445744

Claim:
An absorbent article comprising: a topsheet; an outer cover; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and outer cover; wherein the outer cover comprises an extrusion bonded laminate, the extrusion bonded laminate comprising: a multi-layer coextruded elastomeric film, comprising a core layer, a first outer layer, and a second outer layer, wherein the core layer is between the first and second outer layers; a nonwoven consisting of fibers and/or filaments; wherein the first outer layer is non-adhesively joined to the nonwoven via extrusion coating, such that the first outer layer is a tie layer between the core layer and the nonwoven; wherein the second outer layer is non-adhesively joined to the core layer, such that the second outer layer is a skin layer; wherein the first and second outer layers comprise polyolefin elastomers (POEs); wherein the first and second outer layers comprise a blend of two ethylene-rich copolymers, wherein ethylene is between 10% and 97% wherein the extrusion bonded laminate is mechanically activated using intermeshing gears; wherein the outer cover is elastic to at least 50% engineering strain; wherein the nonwoven has a high chemical affinity for the first outer layer; wherein the first outer layer has a low chemical affinity for the core layer; and wherein the first outer layer comprises an amount of draw down polymer greater than 45 wt%.
