Multiple layer structures incorporating at least one polymeric film layer
and at least one nonwoven fabric layer and products produced from such
structures are provided. The polymeric film layer includes at least one
tackifier resin. The at least one tackifier resin may be selected from a
variety of resins including synthetic and natural resins. In certain
embodiments, the at least one tackifier resin may be present at a
concentration of about 0.1 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of the polymeric
layer. The polymeric film layer may include one or more polymeric
components selected from a variety of polymeric materials. Exemplary
polymeric materials include polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate
although as discussed hereinafter, a wide range of polymeric joined with
a nonwoven fabric. The multiple layer structures may include additional
layers made from a variety of materials. The structures exhibit
beneficial peel strength properties between the polymeric layer and the
nonwoven fabric layer.
