Abstract: Compositions and methods for improving the adhesion of a film to a nonwoven, a film to another film, or a nonwoven to another nonwoven are disclosed. Depending on the laminate or multilaminate structure, the improvement can be achieved by using low viscosity, low density ethylene- or propylene-based polymers, which physically anchor to the substrate, such as a porous nonwoven, or by using a similar polymer in a blend with one of the substrate film polymers to improve flow and adhesion.
