Abstract: The invention relates to a shoe press belt comprising an elastomer polymer having nanoparticles attached therewith through covalent bonds.

Abstract: The invention relates to a press belt (1) made from an elastomer material and forming a closed loop, the belt having an inner surface (2) and an outer surface (3) and three layers of reinforcement yarns (7?, 5?, 6?) arranged inside the elastomer material. In the invention, an outermost yarn layer (7) is formed by longitudinal and transversely adjacent reinforcement yarns (7?) of the press belt (1), which absorb energy and are restored from deformation with delay in connection with deformation.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a press felt with a seam, to a press felt, and a base fabric of a press felt. The base fabric is a one-base structure with machine direction yarns forming seam loops and further machine direction yarns running in the web-side surface layer. The machine direction yarns weave with cross-yarns. The yarn ratio of the surface layer machine direction yarns to the intermediate layer and further the bottom layer machine direction yarns is at least 2:1:1. In addition, the surface layer machine direction yarns have a long run and their cross-sectional area is smaller than the yarns forming the seam loops.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible and porous fabric structure comprising a support structure (1) and a coating material for use in a paper machine. The coating material (2) is arranged solely on the surface of the support structure (1) at a predefined location(s) so that the coating material (2) does not substantially alter the permeability properties of the support structure (1). The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a fabric structure.

Abstract: A paper machine fabric having at least two separate layers made of at least four warp yarn systems woven in different manners and a weft yarn system woven in at least two different manners. The layers are bound together by a binder warp system, whereby the binder warp is arranged to complement the surface of the paper side and to be interwoven with the layer of the machine side by being interwoven under at least one weft yarn of the machine side. The warp yarns of one warp yarn system, i.e. wandering warps, are arranged to complement a warp path formed by the binder warps so that it is continuous at those points on the machine side where the binder warps constitute a part of the paper side structure.

Abstract: A dryer fabric and a seam area of a dryer fabric. The basic structure of the dryer fabric having at least two superposed machine direction yarn systems. Some yarns of a paper side machine direction yarn system form seam loops at connecting ends and some of the paper side machine direction yarns form an edge of the seam area. All the machine direction yarns of the paper side system make a backward turn at the connecting end and they are fastened off on the backside. The paper side machine direction yarns are cut at a cutting point. Cutting points form a fasten-off row. Yarns that form seam loops are fastened off in a first fasten-off row and yarns that form an edge of the seam area are fastened off in one or more second fasten-off row. One fasten-off row is situated at the beginning line of the seam area.

Abstract: A drying wire provided with an independent top fabric and bottom fabric. The bottom fabric is woven from longitudinal and cross direction monofilament yarns. The top fabric is woven from longitudinal yarns and shapeable cross direction yarns. The shapeable yarns make the structure of the top fabric denser and increase the contact surface area and the number of contact points. On the other hand, the bottom fabric is also smooth, wherefore it has good aerodynamic properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to a paper machine fabric comprising at least two separate layers made of at least four warp yarn systems (1; 2a, 2b; 4; 5) woven in different manners and a weft yarn system woven in at least two different manners. The layers are bound together by means of a binder warp system (2a, 5 2b), whereby the binder warp (2a, 2b) is arranged to complement the surface of the paper side and to be interwoven with the layer of the machine side by being interwoven under at least one weft yarn (6) of the machine side. Warp yarns (5) of one warp yarn system, i.e. wandering warps, are arranged to complement a warp path formed by the binder warps (2a, 2b) so that it is continuous at those points on the machine side where the binder warps (2a, 2b) constitute a part of the paper side structure.
