Elastomeric laminate with control layer and methods thereof

A disposable absorbent article in the form of a diaper or absorbent pant, comprising:

• an elastomeric laminate, the elastomeric laminate comprising a plurality of laterally-spaced elastic strands joined with at least a first layer of nonwoven web material by an adhesive,
• wherein the elastic strands comprise a first block copolymer of the spandex-type, wherein the block copolymer comprises a rubber block and a rigid block, wherein the rubber block is selected from a group consisting of polyethers, polyesters, and combinations thereof;
• wherein the adhesive comprises an adhesive polymer, wherein the adhesive polymer comprises a second block copolymer of the styrenic type, wherein the second block copolymer comprises a rubber block, wherein the rubber block is selected from a group consisting of polyisoprene, polybutadiene, polyisoprene-co-butadiene, and hydrogenated variants thereof;
• and
• a control layer at least partially dispersed from the elastic strand to the adhesive.

A process for making an elastomeric laminate, comprising:

• unwinding elastomeric strands coated with a control layer, the control layer comprising a mineral oil;
• bonding the elastomeric strands between first and second substrate layers to form an elastomeric laminate;
• wherein the elastomeric strands have an Average Strand Spacing from about 0.25 mm to about 4 mm;
• and
• wherein the Average Dtex of the elastomeric strands is from about 10 to about 500.

A method for assembling an elastomeric laminate, the method comprising:

• providing a first substrate and a second substrate;
• advancing elastic strands in a machine direction, wherein the elastic strands are separated from each other in a cross direction;
• applying adhesive to at least one of the elastic strands, the first substrate, and the second substrate;
• combining the elastic strands with a first substrate and a second substrate to form an elastomeric laminate;
• and
• dispersing a control layer from the elastic strands to the adhesive, wherein the control layer comprises a mineral oil.
