A process for rendering films, film composites, and articles made therefrom less resistant to passage of water vapor by passing a filled precursor film or film composite through the nip of interdigitating grooved rollers. The films or film composites are generally formed using a precursor film of a film forming polyolefin or polyolefin blend, with a relatively high filler loading and optionally an elastomer. A process is disclosed for making diapers or other disposable items where a relatively high water vapor is coupled with a resistance to liquid strikethrough. In one embodiment of the invention, the interdigitating grooved rollers are maintained in a temperature range of from about 91° F. to about 159° F.
A process for producing a film having a WVTR greater than 200 g/m2/day at 38° C. and 90% relative humidity comprising a polyolefin and a filler, said process comprising:
A process for producing a film having a WVTR of at least 200 g/m2/day at 38° C. and 90% relative humidity comprising a polyolefin blend, said polyolefin blend having at least a first and a second polymer composition, and a filler, said process comprising:
