Abstract
Methods for stretch-forming a thermoplastic film comprises: stretching the thermoplastic film between a first roller and a second roller, wherein the first the roller rotates at a first peripheral velocity and the second roller rotates at a second peripheral velocity that is higher than the first peripheral velocity; and advancing the thermoplastic film from the second roller to a third roller, wherein the third roller rotates at a third peripheral velocity that is lower than the second peripheral velocity, wherein a ratio of the third peripheral velocity to the second peripheral velocity is no larger than 0.95. The resulting breathable thermoplastic films may have a basis weight of no larger than 15 g/mand a shrinkage of no larger than 5%.
