The present disclosure relates to assembling elastic laminates that may be used to make absorbent article components. Methods herein may include an anvil adapted to rotate about an axis of rotation, wherein first and second spreader mechanisms adjacent the anvil roll are axially and angularly displaced from each other with respect to the axis of rotation. During the assembly process, a substrate may be advanced in a machine direction onto the rotating anvil. The first spreader mechanism stretches a first elastic material in the cross direction, and the second spreader mechanism stretches a second elastic material in the cross direction. The stretched first and second elastic materials advance from the spreader mechanisms and onto the substrate on the anvil roll. The combined and elastic materials may then be ultrasonically bonded together on the anvil to form at least one elastic laminate.

The nonmetallic flexible pipe comprises, from the inside to the outside, an inner liner, a pressure bearing layer, an isolation layer, a tensile layer, a functional layer, and a protective layer, wherein two adjacent layers are non-rigidly bonded. The inner liner layer is made from a thermoplastic polymer. The pressure bearing layer is made from a fiber-reinforced resin-based composite material. The isolation layer is made from a thermoplastic polymer. The tensile layer is made from a resin-reinforced fiber material. At least one of an optical fiber, a cable, a tracing ribbon, a pipe for conveying a heat transfer medium, a pressure sensor, and a temperature sensor is provided in the functional layer. The protective layer is made from a thermoplastic polymer.

Elasticated materials and articles comprising elasticated materials are disclosed. In an embodiment, an elasticated material may comprise a first layer, second layer, an elastomeric strand disposed between the first and second layers, and a plurality of bonds bonding the first and second layers together.
