<p>A papermaking belt capable of preventing a crack from progressing into the belt and improved in durability is provided, while a reinforcing substrate (6) is embedded in an elastic material in this papermaking belt, and the said elastic material includes a surface layer (7), a back layer (8) and an intermediate layer (9) located between the said surface layer (7) and the said back layer (8) and has a thick part (12) having a thickness in the belt thickness direction along the belt traveling direction in the said intermediate layer (9). The said thick part (12) can also be exposed on the belt surface through the said surface layer 7, the said thick part (12) is preferably made of a low-hardness elastic material and the said surface layer (7) is preferably made of a high-hardness elastic material. <IMAGE></p> |
