Frequently Asked Questions
What is a forming fabric?
A forming fabric is a woven monofilament belt used on paper machines and non-woven forming machines to form and dewater the fibre web at the wet end of the process.
Which layer construction should I choose?
1-layer fabrics offer maximum drainage, 2-layer and 3-layer constructions provide a smoother surface and better stability for fine paper and nonwoven products. We recommend based on your machine and product.
Do you offer anti-hydrolysis forming fabrics?
Yes. Anti-hydrolysis monofilament yarns extend fabric life in humid, hot forming sections. Tell us your operating conditions and we will recommend the right yarn.
