Abstract

A targeted elastic laminate material having different zones of tension across a width of a material roll and methods for making the same. In one embodiment, the targeted elastic laminate material has at least one low tension zone with first filaments having a first basis weight and at least one high tension zone having second filaments with a second basis weight greater than the first basis weight. The second basis weight is greater due to increased average thickness of the second filaments and/or increased frequency of second filaments relative to the first filaments. In another embodiment, at least two polymers or polymer blends having different set properties are used to produce varying tension zones across the material. In yet another embodiment, the targeted elastic laminate material includes an elastic film with elastic strands placed thereon. The targeted elastic laminate material has elastic properties that provide improved fit characteristics to disposable personal care products.
