METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING RESIN-IMPREGNATED ENDLESS BELT STRUCTURES FOR PAPERMAKING AND PAPERPROCESSING APPLICATIONS AND BELT

摘要

A method for manufacturing resin-impregnated endless belt structure and belt structure, designed for use on a long nip press on a papermaking machine and for other papermaking and paperprocessing applications, requires the application of a polymeric resin material onto a base substrate in a precise predetermined pattern in droplets having an average diameter of 10~ (10 microns) or more. The polymeric resin material is then set by means appropriate to its composition, and, optionally, may be abraded to provide t he belt with a uniform thickness, and a smooth, macroscopically monoplanar surface.
