A bonded structure including one or more substrates bonded together with a tackified amorphous poly-alpha-olefin adhesive composition. One method of making such a bonded structure is carried out by applying a tackified amorphous poly-alpha-olefin adhesive composition to one or more substrates at a temperature of about 170 degrees Celsius or lower, and joining the substrates to themselves or to one another. The bonded structure has a dynamic peel strength between about 400 and about 1000 grams per 25 millimeters. The bonding efficiency of the bonded structure renders the bonded structure suitable for incorporation into a variety of articles, including personal care products, health/medical products, and household/industrial product, for example.

Tackified amorphous-poly-alpha-olefin-bonded structures

A folded absorbent article including a front portion, back portion, and an intermediate crotch portion. The front portion joins the back portion by first and second side seams forming a waist opening and leg openings. Each of the front and back portions includes a demarcation line positioned between first and second zones. Each of the front and back portions includes a first section, a second section, and a third section. The first section is longitudinally folded over the second section providing a first side seam positioned laterally outboard of a longitudinal centerline of the absorbent article to form a first longitudinal fold line. The third section is folded over the first section providing the second side seam positioned laterally outboard of the longitudinal centerline to form a second longitudinal fold line. The first zone is transversely folded along the demarcation line over a portion of the crotch forming a folded absorbent article.
