Patent ID: 7550400

Claim:
A multiple layer structure comprising: (i) a first polymeric film coating layer having a first surface, second surface, and layer thickness of about 15 g/m 2 to about 40 g/m 2 , the layer consisting essentially of: from about 20 wt. % to about 99 wt. % of a polymeric material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene copolymers, propylene copolymers, polyurethanes, polyesters, nylons, and combinations thereof, and from about 5 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of a tackifier resin having a ring and ball softening point of about 20° C. to about 160° C., based on the weight of the multiple layer structure; (ii) a nonwoven fabric layer comprising from about 10 wt. % to 95 wt. % of a nonwoven fabric, based on the weight of the multiple layer structure, and (iii) at least one additional polymeric film layer comprising the same polymeric species as the first polymeric film layer, the at least one additional polymeric film layer not including a tackifier resin, wherein the nonwoven fabric layer is joined to the first surface of the first polymeric film layer and the at least one additional polymeric film layer is joined to the second surface of the first polymeric film layer.
