Transferband

摘要

The invention relates to a transfer strip (10) of a wet press that comprises an extended press nip for drying a web of paper. Said strip consists of an especially woven or knitted support strip (11) and a substantially polymeric fiber structure (12) that is needled onto the support strip as a felt-like structure and comprises fusible fibers. At least portions of said fiber structure are converted to a fairly water-impermeable polymer layer (14) by way of a thermomechanical process. The support strip further comprises a filamentous surface layer that is applied on the polymer layer.
