Publication number: 20240117567Abstract: A papermaking belt may suppress resin fallings from the resin layer during its use. Such a papermaking belt may be used in a papermaking machine and may include at least one resin layer including a resin, wherein the total number of swellings whose height is equal to or higher than 50 ?m and cracks whose length is equal to or longer than 10 mm on at least one surface of the resin layer is equal to or less than 1.0/m2. Such a papermaking belt may be used in a papermaking machine and may include at least one resin layer including a resin. The resin layer may be formed using a resin composition including an aqueous dispersion of a urethane resin. The resin composition may include an organic solvent whose boiling point at 1 atm is equal to or higher than 100° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: ICHIKAWA CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuya TAKAMORI, Taichi SAKAI
