Key characteristics that make this product the right choice for your paper machine.
SSB (Sheet Support Binder) technology uses a specialized binder yarn system that provides the highest fiber support index in the industry (≥180), delivering superior sheet formation with minimal wire marking for the most demanding paper grades.
Precision-engineered triple-layer weave balances rapid water removal with superior fiber retention, achieving first-pass retention rates of 90–95% for improved sheet quality and reduced fiber loss.
Ultra-fine top layer yarns (0.11–0.13mm) combined with SSB binder system deliver virtually mark-free sheet surface — essential for tissue, printing & writing, and premium paper grades.
Engineered for modern high-speed paper machines up to 2,200 m/min. Maintains stable formation characteristics and dimensional stability at maximum operating speeds without fabric flutter.
Premium PET monofilament with optimized weave patterns delivers 60–90+ days of continuous service on high-speed tissue machines — minimizing machine downtime and reducing total cost of ownership.
Self-cleaning weave structure resists fiber and filler buildup, maintaining consistent drainage performance throughout the fabric life with minimal chemical cleaning requirements.
