A product, apparatus and process for lamination of a sheet of polymer film onto a sheet of light weight web material. An incoming sheet of material is slit into narrow webs, which may be folded by a folding guide, and separated by use of turning bars and guides. The narrow webs then enter an embossing or laminating station. The lamination process joins the two sheets which are of different widths to allow the process to produce stock for different final products. The laminate of folded webs and polymer may be slit and/or unfolded prior to being stored on a take-up reel.

Product and process for strip lamination of a polymer film and nonwoven webs

A process for in-line lamination of a non-oven fibrous sheet to an extruded polymer film. A non-oven fibrous sheet is slit into a plurality of narrow non-oven fibrous webs. The narrow non-oven fibrous webs are spaced by turning the webs around a plurality of spaced webs. An extruded polymer film is laminated onto a surface of the spaced webs to provide a laminate of the extruded polymer film and the spaced narrow webs having a portion of the extruded polymer film between the spaced non-woven fibrous webs.

Process for strip lamination of polymer films and nonwoven fibrous webs

An apparatus for lamination of a non-woven fibrous sheet and an extruded polymer sheet including a web slitter to divide the fibrous sheet into a plurality of webs, a plurality of folding means to fold each web, a plurality of separated turning bars to turn each folded web such that the webs are separated, and an extrusion laminator for laminating the polymer sheet to the separated webs to provide a laminate having a portion of the polymer sheet between the separated webs.
