Spunbond nonwoven laminate and method of making same

In a spunbond nonwoven laminate having a plurality of stacked spunbond nonwoven layers, the improvement wherein:

• at least two and at most four spunbond nonwoven layers are each formed by or consist of crimped continuous filaments;
• a degree of crimping of the filaments in each of the spunbond nonwoven layers is different from a degree of crimping in each of the other spunbond nonwoven layers and each of the crimped filaments of the spunbond nonwoven layers has a crimp with at least three loops per centimeter of length;
• the crimped filaments of the spunbond nonwoven layers are multicomponent filaments each having at least one first plastic component and at least one second plastic component with each of the plastic components being present in the respective filament in a proportion of at least 10 wt %,
• the first plastic component consists of only one first plastic,
• the second plastic component is a mixture or a blend of a second plastic and a third plastic,
• a proportion of a mass of the third plastic relative to a mass of all the filaments of the laminate is less than 25 wt %,
• the laminate has a thickness of from 0.2 to 0.8 mm, and
• a molecular weight distribution of the third plastic is greater than a molecular weight distribution of the first plastic and greater than a molecular weight distribution of the second plastic.
