<p>Paper machine clothing (10) having a composite configuration whereby side fabric portions (14,16) made of a more resistant material are woven to the main body portion (12) of the fabric. Side fabric portions that are not protected from the paper web, and therefore exposed to harsher environmental conditions than the portion of the fabric covered by the paper web, deteriorate faster. By replacing the side portions that are exposed to harsher environment with more resistant material, the paper machine clothing (10) will last longer. This can be accomplished by incorporating into the weave of a first side portion of the main body portion liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) melt-spun fibers.</p> |
