A papermaking belt in which changes in surface properties of the resin layer upon use is suppressed, and a method for making the papermaking belt. Provided is a papermaking belt for use in a papermaking machine, including at least one resin layer including a resin, wherein the surface roughness after contacting the surface of the resin layer with a metal plate having a surface roughness equal to or less than 0.10 μm at a pressure of 100±3 kg/cmfor 20 hours in warm water bathing at 70±5° C. is equal to or higher than 40% relative to the surface roughness of the surface of the resin layer in a wet state before the contact.

Papermaking belt and method for producing papermaking belt

There is provided a shoe press belt for a papermaking machine, comprising one or more resin layers. At least a part of the resin layers comprises a polyurethane resin comprising polymeric MIDI as an ingredient. The polyurethane resin may be a resin obtainable by reacting one or more curing agent(s) having an active hydrogen group, polymeric MDI and one or more urethane prepolymer(s) having a terminal isocyanate group, the urethane prepolymer(s) being obtainable by reacting one or more isocyanate compound(s) with one or more polyol(s).

Shoe press belt

A shoe press belt with excellent mechanical properties, in particular a shoe press belt with excellent crack resistance and excellent resistance to land edge deficiency. The shoe press belt includes a felt-side resin layer containing a resin formed by curing a prepolymer having a terminal isocyanate group (&#x2014;NCO) with a curing agent, wherein the prepolymer contains, in reacted form, a compound comprising 1,4-bis(isocyanate methyl) cyclohexane and a polycarbonate diol, and wherein the felt-side resin layer has grooves that are configured to receive water squeezed from a felt.
