Extrusion bonded laminates for absorbent articles

An absorbent article comprising an extrusion bonded laminate, wherein the extrusion bonded laminate is at least a portion of one or more components of the absorbent article, the components selected from the group consisting of a backsheet, an outer cover, a side panel, a waistband, a front ear, a back ear, and combinations thereof;

• wherein the extrusion bonded laminate comprises:
• a multi-layer coextruded elastomeric film, comprising a core layer, a first outer layer, and a second outer layer, wherein the core layer is between the first and second outer layers;
• a nonwoven consisting of fibers and/or filaments;
• wherein the first outer layer is non-adhesively joined to the nonwoven via extrusion coating, such that the first outer layer is a tie layer between the core layer and the nonwoven;
• wherein the second outer layer is non-adhesively joined to the core layer, such that the second outer layer is a skin layer;
• wherein the first and second outer layers comprise polyolefin elastomers (POEs);
• wherein the first and second outer layers comprise a blend of two ethylene rich copolymers, and wherein ethylene is between 10% and 97%;
• wherein the extrusion bonded laminate is mechanically activated using intermeshing gears;
• wherein the component comprising the extrusion bonded laminate is elastic at 50% engineering strain;
• wherein the nonwoven has a high chemical affinity for the first outer layer;
• wherein the first outer layer has a low chemical affinity for the core layer;
• wherein the laminate bond strength is from 1 N/cm to 3.5 N/cm;
• and
• wherein the core layer comprises at least one thermoplastic elastomeric polymer.
