Process for producing a film using silane modified elastomeric compositions
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process of producing a film comprising the steps of:
- adding to an elastomeric melt extrudable, thermoplastic polymer in an amount between about 0.01 and about 10 weight percent, a silane having the formula;
##STR2## wherein, Z is selected from the group consisting of double bonded groups capable of reaction under radical polymerization conditions;
R1, R2, and R3 are selected from the group consisting of alkoxy, Cl, Br, ester, O--Si, alkyl and aryl groups, provided, however, that at least one R group must be reactive in order to function as a hydrolytically reactive agent;
extruding said polymer and forming said film and;
exposing said film to moisture for a time and temperature sufficient to cure said polymer.

Abstract
There is provided a melt extrudable, moisture curable thermoplastic polymer which is produced from a silane modified elastomeric polymer and which has improved hysteresis, reduced stress decay and improved creep properties. The polymer may be processed into a nonwoven web, film or foam which may be laminated to other materials such as spunbond polyolefin layers and may be used in medical, personal care, feminine hygiene and other applications.
