Abstract
A method of producing a waterproof, gas-permeable composite sheet comprising the steps of: (a) preparing a film from a composition comprising 40-70 weight % of an ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer and 30-60 weight % of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer; and (b) adhering the film to a woven or nonwoven fabric by hot pressing while causing the heat shrinkage of the film simultaneously, thereby making the film microporous. The composition may further contain linear low-density polyethylene to improve film-forming properties. By subjecting the hot-pressed composite sheet to a plurality of heating-cooling steps, it is provided with high heat resistance. In addition, by foaming the film and hot-pressing it to a stretchable woven or nonwoven fabric and then stretching, the composite sheet is further provided with high stretchability.
