The laminate is comprised of at least two layers and utilizes a foam layer as a component in the preferred embodiment, replacing conventional use of fibrous materials. A superior elastomeric fabric utilizing an open or closed cell foam layer as one element of the composite structure and as the elastic member of the fabric results in superior fabric characteristics when compared to similar hydroentangled fabrics which are constructed from fibrous materials.Other References
