Patent ID: 7513969

Claim:
A process for making a corrugated stretch laminate, said process comprises the steps of: a) delivering a curtain of a first elastomeric composition in a molten state from a delivery mechanism directly to a grooved surface of a print device selected from the group consisting of gravure rolls and gravure webs, the grooved surface including a plurality of grooves adapted to receive the curtain of the first elastomeric composition in the molten state, wherein the first elastomeric composition exhibits a melt viscosity of greater than about 10,000 Pa·s at 175° C.; b) distributing the curtain of the first elastomeric composition into the plurality of grooves with a doctor blade; c) cooling the first elastomeric composition on the grooved surface of the print device to form an elastic member comprising an apertured film; d) removing the elastic member from the print device; e) elongating the elastic member in a first direction; f) joining the elastic member to a first substrate; and g) allowing the elastic member to recover to form said corrugated stretch laminate.
