Abstract

A laminate usable as a diaper closure has a pair of generally contiguous outer fleece layers having longitudinally extending and parallel outer edges and a core layer of foil of LP or LLP polyethylene extending between the outer layers substantially a full width of the outer layers between the edges. The foil has a thickness between 5 μm and 20 μm. Bonds are provided between the core layer and each of the outer layers. The laminate has regions activated by stretching and in which the laminate is semielastric, and unactivated regions in which the laminate is not stretchy.
