Definitions
- This invention is directed to an elastic laminate material having an elastomeric element comprising at least two different elastomeric materials in series.
- this invention is directed to an elastomeric element comprised of a high performance elastomer, for example LYCRA ® polyurethane, and a lower performance elastomer, for example a metallocene-catalyzed polymer, in series.
- the elastomeric element exhibits high performance elastic properties at reduced material costs.
- this invention is directed to a garment utilizing the elastomeric element to provide improved comfort, fit and appearance of the product.
- Elastic laminates are useful in many personal care products including diapers and undergarments.
- High performance elastomers such as Lycra ® spandex, are particularly useful because the laminates produced using these elastomers provide good product fit over an extended use period.
- high performance elastomers are expensive.
- the Lycra ® polyurethane type laminates may provide a feminine or ruffled appearance that does not provide a flat or smooth surface that is discreet and invisible underneath clothing.
- Lower performance elastomers, including metallocene-catalyzed olefin polymers have also been useful because of their low cost and clothlike appearance.
- the elastic properties of different elastomers are utilized to provide an elastic band that can be "tuned” to any particular area of a given product.
- This invention combines the high performance elastic properties of more expensive elastomers, such as Lycra ® polyurethane, with the less expensive, lower performance elastomers, such as metallocene- catalyzed olefin polymers, to provide a material with high performance elastic properties and improved comfort, fit and appearance at a reduced material cost.
- the present invention is directed to a multi-segment elastomeric band and laminate material useful in personal care products.
- the elastic band comprises at least two elastomeric segments adjacent to each other and in series. These segments have different polymer construction with different chemistries, molecular weight distributions, densities, and/or geometries.
- the elastomeric materials of the band can be defined so that a high performance elastomer, for example LYCRA ® polyurethane, is used sparingly in regions where needed and the remaining regions of the band can comprise a lower performance elastomer, for example a single-site or metallocene-catalyzed olefin polymer.
- an elastomeric band is produced having high performance elastic properties where needed, at a reduced material cost.
- an elastic band is provided in which a first elastomeric material is comprised of a single-site or metallocene-catalyzed polymer having a density less than about 0.89 g/cc, and a second elastomeric material adjacent to the first, is comprised of another elastomeric polymer.
- the elastic band may be bonded to one or two nonwoven webs, preferably spunbonded, to provide a multi-segment elastic laminate material.
- the elastomeric materials may be in the form of an elastomeric nonwoven web, for example, a spunbonded web, a meltblown web, a bonded carded web, or a combination thereof; a filament array; a film or a foam; or a laminate including one or more of the foregoing.

- the adjacent materials may be bonded together at edges which overlap each other.
- the elastomeric band can be elongated and bonded to an upper sheet and/or a lower sheet using any of the foregoing bonding technologies, to form the multi-segment elastic laminate.

- elastomeric and “elastic properties” are used interchangeably herein to mean any material which, upon application of a biasing force, is stretchable to a stretched, biased length which is at least about 125 percent, that is about one and one quarter, of its relaxed, unbiased length, and which will recover at least 40 percent of its elongation upon release of the stretching, elongating force.
- a hypothetical example which will satisfy this definition of an elastomeric material would be a one (1) inch sample of a material which is elongatable to at least 1.25 inches and which, upon being elongated to 1.25 inches and released, will recover to a length of not more than 1.15 inches.
- in series means any two elastic materials that are laterally adjacent with each other, including materials whose edges touch, but do not overlap; materials whose edges overlap each other, but which otherwise do not overlap; and materials spaced at a distance in the same plane.
- nonwoven web means a web that has a structure of individual fibers or threads which are interlaid, but not in an identifiable, repeating manner.
- Nonwoven webs have been, in the past, formed by a variety of processes such as, for example, melt-blowing processes, spunbonding processes and bonded carded web processes.
- microfibers means small diameter fibers having an average diameter not greater than about 100 microns, for example, having a diameter of from about 0.5 microns to about 50 microns, more particularly, microfibers may have an average diameter of from about 4 microns to about 40 microns.
- meltblown fibers means fibers formed by extruding a molten thermoplastic material through a plurality of fine, usually circular, die capillaries as molten threads or filaments into a high velocity gas (e.g., air) stream which attenuates the filaments of molten thermoplastic material to reduce their diameter, which may be to microfiber diameter. Thereafter, the meltblown fibers are carried by the high velocity gas stream and are deposited on a collecting surface to form a web of randomly disbursed meltblown fibers.
- a high velocity gas e.g., air
- spunbonded fibers refers to small diameter fibers which are formed by extruding a molten thermoplastic material as filaments from a plurality of fine, usually circular, capillaries of a spinnerette with the diameter of the extruded filaments then being rapidly reduced as by, for example, eductive drawing or other well- known spunbonding mechanisms.
- the production of spunbonded nonwoven webs is illustrated in patents such as, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 4,340,563 to Appel et al.; U.S. Patent No. 3,692,618 to Dorschner et al. and U.S. Patent No. 3,802,817 to Matsuki et al. The disclosures of these patents are hereby incorporated by reference.
- film refers to polymeric sheets formed using a blown film or cast film extrusion process, or another film extrusion process, and does not include nonwoven webs as defined above.
- polymer or “polymer resin” as used herein generally include, but are not limited to, homopolymers, copolymers, such as, for example, block, graft, random and alternating copolymers, terpolymers, etc. and blends and modifications thereof. Further, unless otherwise specifically limited, the terms “polymer” or “polymer resin” shall include all possible geometrical configurations of the material. These configurations include, but are not limited to, isotactic, syndiotactic and random symmetries.
- single-site catalyzed polymer and "metallocene- catalyzed polymer” refer to a polymer having a particular range of stretch and recovery characteristics produced by the single-site (e.g. metallocene-catalyzed) process. These polymers have the unique advantage of having a very narrow molecular range. Polydispersity numbers (Mw/Mn) of below 4 and even below 2 are possible for single-site catalyzed polymers. These polymers have a controlled short chain branching distribution when compared to otherwise similar non-single site catalyzed polymers.
- hysteresis is a measure of how well an elastic material retains its elastic properties over a number of stretches.
- the loss of the hysteresis over a number of stretch cycles should desirably be minimal.
- a material having no hysteresis loss will show the same force measured at 30 percent elongation during the retraction in the second cycle as the force of extension at 30 percent elongation during the first cycle. Dividing the first cycle force of extension by the second cycle force of retraction shows that such a material will have a hysteresis of 1.0.
- polydispersity number or “polydispersity index” is defined as weight average molecular weight divided by the number average molecular weight (Mw/Mn). Elastomers with a very low or narrow polydispersity number, e.g. 4 or less, are blended with a base polymer to produce metallocene-catalyzed polymers.

- the first elastomeric segment 16 and the second elastomeric segment 17 are comprised of polymers of different polymeric construction, i.e. different chemistries, molecular weight distributions, densities, and/or geometries. Therefore, elastomeric segments 16, 17 may have elastic properties substantially different from one another.
- one elastomeric segment 16 or 17 may be stretchable to at least 200% of its initial relaxed length while the other elastomeric segment 17 or 16 may be stretchable only to 125% to less than about 200% of its initial relaxed length.
- elastomeric segment 16 comprises a single-site (e.g. metallocene) catalyzed olefin polymer having a density less than about 0.89 grams/cc, and elastomeric segment 17 comprises a LYCRA ® polyurethene.

- Elastic segments 16, 17 may each be an elastomeric nonwoven web, for example, a spunbonded web, a meltblown web, a bonded carded web, or a combination thereof. If the segment is a web of meltblown fibers, it may include meltblown microfibers.
- the elastic nonwoven webs may be formed using conventional processes, including the spunbond and meltblowing processes described in the above "DEFINITIONS.”

- suitable polyurethanes include those available from E.I. Du Pont de Nemours Co., under the trade name LYCRA ® polyurethane.
- Suitable elastomeric resins include block copolymers having general formula A-B-A' or A-B, where A and A' are each a thermoplastic polymer end block which contains a styrenic moiety such as a poly (vinyl arene) and where B is an elastomeric polymer midblock such as a conjugated diene or a lower alkene polymer.
- Block copolymers of the A-B-A' type can have different or the same thermoplastic block copolymers for the A and A' blocks, and the present block copolymers are intended to embrace linear, branched and radial block copolymers.
- elastomeric copolymers examples include those known as KRATON ® materials which are available from Shell Chemical Company of Houston, Texas.

- Processing aids may be added to the elastomeric polymers to assist in producing films and meltblown fibers from these elastomers.
- a polyolefin processing aid may be blended with the elastomeric polymer to improve the processability of the composition.
- Useful blending polyolefin materials include polyethylene, polypropylene, and polybutene, including ethylene copolymers, propylene copolymers and butene copolymers.
- these processing aids have a negative effect on the hysteresis of the base elastomer.
- Hysteresis is a measure of how well an elastic material retains its elastic properties over a number of stretch cycles.
- the processability of the elastomers can be improved by adding a metallocene polyolefin, without negatively affecting the hysteresis of the base polymer.
- a metallocene polyolefin such polymers have a very low or narrow polydispersity number, e.g. Mw/Mn of 4 or less, and may be made by a process referred to as the metallocene polymerization process.
- the single-site process generally uses a metallocene catalyst which is activated, i.e. ionized, by a co-catalyst.
- Single-site catalyzed polymers have the unique advantage of having a very narrow molecular range.

- Single-site catalyzed polymers have a particular range of stretch and recovery characteristics.
- elastic segments 16 and 17 may be combined by positioning them adjacent each other as shown, and preferably joining them together at their edges. The adjacent edges of segments 16 and 17 may slightly overlap each other to facilitate bonding. Bonding may be accomplished using processes known in the art, including adhesive bonding, thermal bonding, ultrasonic bonding, chemical crosslinking between the layers, ultrasonic bonding, mechanical stitching, and the like.
- laminate material 10 is formed by elongating elastomeric band 15 and bonding elastomeric band 15 on a first side 18 to an upper sheet 20 and on a second side 19 to a lower sheet 21.
- This bonding may be accomplished via adhesive layers 22 between the elastic band 15 and the sheets 20 and 21.
- Layers 22 may comprise a meltblown adhesive, for instance.
- Other bonding means known in the art may be utilized to bond elastomeric band 15 to upper sheet 20 and lower sheet 21 including thermal bonding, ultrasonic bonding, mechanical stitching, and the like.
- Upper sheet 20 and lower sheet 21 may each be a nonwoven web, for example, a spunbonded web, a meltblown web, a bonded carded web or a combination thereof. Upper sheet 20 and lower sheet 21 may also each be a filament array, a film or a foam.
- Fig. 2 shows a top view of elastomeric band 15, with the layers 20 and 22 removed.

- first and second segments 16 and 17 in series may have different thickness, shapes, molecular weights, or may differ in more than one of the foregoing respects.
- the combined elastomeric band 15 will exhibit hybrid properties of the two segments 16 and 17, often providing the desired properties of the higher cost material where needed, and utilizing the lower cost material where the properties of the higher cost material are not needed.
- the hybrid elastic band 15 can be employed in a wide variety of disposable absorbent products including, for instance, diapers, training pants, swim wear, absorbent underpants, adult incontinence products, feminine hygiene products, and medical absorbent garments.
- the hybrid elastic band is especially useful in absorbent articles requiring elastic in the waist and/or leg regions of a wearer.
