1.5-Layer Polyester Forming Fabric for Tissue Fine Paper Efficient Dewatering

1.5-Layer Polyester Forming Fabric for Tissue Fine Paper Efficient Dewatering

Product Description

Polyester forming fabrics are the critical dewatering and sheet-forming medium on modern paper machines. Woven from high-grade polyester monofilaments in single-layer, 1.5-layer, double-layer, 2.5-layer, and triple-layer constructions, these fabrics receive the stock from the headbox, separate water from fiber, and transport the forming web to the press section. Engineered for dimensional stability and consistent permeability, they are the mainstream choice for tissue, printing, packaging, and board grades.

Features & Benefits

Applications

• High dimensional stability: Heat-set construction minimizes stretching and edge curling under tension.

• Efficient dewatering: Controlled permeability enables rapid water removal while retaining fibers and fillers.

• Excellent wear resistance: Multilayer and modified monofilament options extend service life on high-speed machines.

• Smooth sheet surface: Fine paper-side weave reduces wire marks and improves printability.

• Chemical durability: Resistant to acid and alkali conditions typical in papermaking furnish systems.

• 4-shed single layer: Cultural paper, printing paper, packaging paper

• 5-shed single layer: Tissue, napkin, cultural paper, packaging paper

• 8-shed single layer: Kraft paper, bag paper, corrugated paper, linerboard

• Double layer / 2.5-layer: High-grade printing paper, tissue, fine paper, board top liner

• Triple layer: Tissue grades (approx. 11–15 g/m²), where superior fiber support is required
