Abstract
Abstract A highly elastic and easily stretchable permanently shaped reticular web of an elastomeric and thermoplastic film forming composition which comprises a thermoplastic elastomeric component consisting essentially of linear or radial A-B-A block copolymers or mixtures of these linear or radial A-B-A block copolymers with simple A-B block copolymers. A resin component also may be included.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A permanently heat shaped elastic and thermoplastic reticular web which comprises strands intersecting in a pattern and defining a corresponding pattern of holes, said web being formed from an elastomeric and thermoplastic composition which comprises an elastomeric component and about 0-200 parts of a resin component per one hundred parts by weight of the elastomeric component, said elastomeric component consisting essentially of linear or radial A-B-A block copolymers or mixtures of these linear or radial A-B-A copolymers with simple A-B block copolymers, said A-blocks being derived from vinyl arenes and said B-blocks being derived from conjugated dienes or lower alkenes, and said web being easily stretchable and elastic and adapted to recover from deformation without substantial loss of its permanent shape.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A permanently heat shaped elastic and thermoplastic reticular web which comprises strands intersecting in a pattern and defining a corresponding pattern of holes, said web being formed from an elastomeric and thermoplastic composition which comprises an elastomeric component and about 0-200 parts of a resin component per one hundred parts by weight of the elastomeric component, said elastomeric component consisting essentially of linear or radial A-B-A block copolymers or mixtures of these linear or radial A-B-A copolymers with simple A-B block copolymers, said A-blocks being derived from vinyl arenes and said B-blocks being derived from conjugated dienes or lower alkenes, and said web being easily stretchable and elastic and adapted to recover from deformation without substantial loss of its permanent shape.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A reticular web according to claim 1, which possesses an elastic recovery from 50 percent stretch of at least about 75 percent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A reticular web according to claim 2, which possesses an elastic recovery from 50 percent stretch of at least about 90 percent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
A reticular web according to claim 1, wherein the web possesses permanent heat-sealability to fiberboard when pressed together with said fiberboard for a period no longer than 4 seconds at a peak temperature of not above about 350° F. at the interface between the web and the fiberboard as described herein.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
A reticular web according to claim 1, which possesses a rubber modulus of not above about 2,000 pounds per square inch prior to orientation.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
A reticular web according to claim 1, wherein the vinyl arenes are styrene or styrene homologues.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
A reticular web according to claim 1, wherein the strands are oriented in the direction of their length in at least one direction parallel to the surface of the web.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
A reticular web according to claim 7, wherein all of the strands are oriented in the direction of their length.
