Abstract

See full text

A composite nonwoven elastomeric web material, and method of forming such material, as well as a nonwoven elastomeric web material and method of forming such material, are disclosed. The composite web material is provided by hydraulically entangling a laminate of at least (1) a layer of meltblown fibers; and (2) at least one further layer, preferably of at least one of pulp fibers, staple fibers, meltblown fibers, and continuous filaments, with or without particulate material, with at least one of the layer of meltblown fibers and the further layer being elastic so as to form an elastic web material after hydraulic entanglement. The nonwoven elastomeric web material is provided by hydraulically entangling a layer of meltblown elastomeric fibers. The material formed can be cloth-like with smooth surfaces, and with isotropic elasticity and strength. Different texture properties, including a corrugated stretchable fabric, can be provided by pre-stretching and then hydraulically entangling while stretched.
