<p>This disclosure describes a press fabric for use on papermaking and similar machines. The fabric is of the openended variety, and has loops at each end enabling it to be closed into endless form during installation on the machine by means of a pin seam. The machine-direction (MD) yarns, from which the loops are formed during the flat or endless weaving of the fabric, are coated multifilaments. The coating, either permanent, semi-permanent, or soluble, gives the multifilament a monofilament-like structure enabling good loop formation and stability. The use of multifilament yarn provides a fabric having improved elasticity in the machine direction, and a greater degree of compressibility, following the removal of a soluble coating material, than can be obtained using monofilament yarn.</p> |
