A doctor blade for contacting a roll surface in a papermaking machine is provided that includes a plurality of reinforcement fabric layers bonded together with a renewable, sustainable, eco-friendly, bio-derived resin matrix, thereby forming a multi-layer composite having a beveled edge contacting a roll surface. Each reinforcement fabric layer comprises renewable, sustainable, eco-friendly, natural reinforcement fibres, and the bio-derived resin matrix is a polymeric resin matrix produced from renewable natural resources.

A wear element is disclosed that includes at least two layers of a structural material and at least one layer of a non-solid metal material, wherein the non-solid metal material includes a non-homogenous edge for contacting a roll surface.

Wear composites including one or more metal layers

A planar element is disclosed for use in a papermaking system. The planar element is suitable for use as a doctor blade or a top plate and includes a three-dimensional composite structure including elongated elements extending in at least three orthogonal directions, and a resin in which the three-dimensional composite structure is embedded.

Doctor blade holders and doctor blade holder systems including planar elements with three dimensional fabric reinforcement materials

A fiber reinforced composite material containing a polymeric resin matrix reinforced by fabrics consisting of co-mingled glass/carbon yarns for a doctor blade.

The present invention relates to a method of making an industrial fabric including the steps of applying a radiation-curable powder onto the surface of a fabric, melting the radiation-curable powder such that the powder forms a layer on the fabric surface and directing radiation at this surface layer so as to cure the constituent material of the surface layer.

Method of making an industrial fabric

An industrial textile including a polymeric substrate and a resin system grafted onto the polymeric substrate by way of a primer. The resin system includes a water-borne thermoplastic, a polyhydroxyether resin and/or an analogue of a polyhydroxyether resin, and at least one co-resin.
