gowns and also may be used in protective or industrial workwear however in order to more fully protect the wearer from harmful exposure to contaminants the laminate material should have a high degree of repellency to low surface tension liquids such as surfactant containing aqueous solutions alcohols aldehydes and ketones repellency to low surface tension liquids may be imparted to the laminate material by use of a treatment chemical such as for example fluorocarbon compound treatments as are disclosed in u s pat no 5 149 576 to potts et al and u s pat no 5 178 931 to perkins et al both incorporated herein by reference in their entireties and fluorocarbon compound treatments are available commercially to impart repellency to low surface tension liquids treatment station 30 may desirably be a dip and squeeze station as is known in the art and which contains a bath of an aqueous emulsion of fluorocarbon compound the fibrous web material 20 travels a path which immerses the web in the bath to saturate it with the treatment emulsion web material 20 continues through nip rollers 32 and 34 which squeeze off the excess treatment bath emulsion despite having the excess bath removed by nip rollers 32 and 34 the web material 20 will typically have about a 100 percent u201c wet pick up u201d upon exiting treatment station 30 that.
