Tear-resistant low set elastic film and method of making

A tear-resistant low set elastic film, comprising:

• a first layer of Metallocene-polyethylene;
• a second layer of Metallocene-polyethylene;
• a core having a blend of block-coplymers co-extruded between said first layer and said second layer;
• activated zones in said film;
• non-activated zones in said film, said non-activated zones having a greater tear-resistance than said activated zones;
• wherein said film has sufficient elasticity to stretch at least 200% of an initial width in a transverse direction while maintaining a permanent set percent of no more than about 5%;
• wherein said non-activated zones maintain a permanent set percent of no more than about 5% when said film is stretched up to 200% of an initial width in a transverse direction, said activated zones having a width in a range of about {fraction (2/64)} inch to about {fraction (4/64)} inch, wherein said non-activated zones have a width in the range of about {fraction (1/128)} inch to about {fraction (4/64)} inch;
• wherein said activated zones in said film have a tear-strength as measured by the Elmendorf Tear Test of at least 30 g;
• wherein said non-activated zones of said film have a tear-strength as measured by the Elmendorf Tear Test of at least 50 g;
• wherein said film is embossed;
• and
• wherein said film has a permanent set in a range of 0 to about 5%.
