  • Publication number: 20050196630
    Abstract: A cling film laminate structure, a process for making the laminate, and use of the laminate in a fastening system for various goods is disclosed. The laminate is composed of a cling layer having autoadhesive surface properties bonded to a substantially non-stretchable carrier layer. The carrier layer is formed of a material which eliminates, or substantially limits, stretching of the cling layer. An ethylene-based or propylene-based metallocene or single site catalyzed polyolefin provides the autoadhesive surface properties for the cling layer. Preferably, the carrier layer is comprised of a nonwoven material, or a thermoplastic film. A laminate composed of a cling layer and a non-stretchable carrier layer is particularly useful as a fastening system for a package, envelope, tape or disposable soft goods article.

  • Publication number: 20050096613
    Abstract: A unique laminate structure, a process for making the laminate, and use of the laminate in a fastening system for disposable soft goods is disclosed. The laminate is composed of a cling film layer having autoadhesive surface properties bonded to a flexible, but substantially non-stretchable, base carrier layer. The base carrier layer is formed of a material which eliminates, or substantially limits, any stretching of the cling film. The cling film layer includes a thermoplastic polymer coating that provides autoadhesive surface properties selected from the group consisting of polyolefins, acrylic modified polyolefins, vinyl acetate modified polyolefins and acrylic polymer. Preferably, the polyolefin may be polypropylene or polyethylene. Preferably, the carrier or base layer is comprised of a nonwoven material, or a thermoplastic film.
