Abstract
A flannelized film and a method of making a flannelized film are disclosed. Layers of plastic film are fed between two rollers meeting at a nip, the contiguous surfaces of the layers being coated with an adhesive or comprising a heat-softened coextruded layer. A layer of creped tissue comprising cellulosic fibers is laminated between the contiguous surfaces of the layers of plastic film to form an intermediate laminate structure. The cellulosic fibers of the intermediate laminate structure are split at the exit side of the nip such that a portion of the cellulosic fibers is adhered to each plastic layer and has components extending in a direction substantially perpendicular with respect to the plane of the plastic film. This gives the plastic film the look and feel of flannel for improving the aesthetics of disposable absorbent products such as diapers, feminine napkins and underpads.
