A papermaker's fabric woven from uniformly precoated, totally encapsulated monofilament yarns is disclosed. The yarns are coated prior to the weaving of the papermaker's fabric in order to impart anti-sticking characteristics to the papermaker's fabric. The coatings may be such that thickness of the machine direction yarns is different than the thickness of the cross-machine direction yarns.

Papermakers fabric with encapsulated monofilament yarns

Disclosed is a papermaker's forming fabric which is produced from yarns including at least two parallel monofilament strands. Such yarns may be utilized exclusively in the cross-machine direction, or they may be utilized in both the machine and cross-machine directions. Such a fabric construction results in reduced knuckles thereby providing a fabric displaying improved sheet-release and reduced wire mark.

Papermaker's fabric with yarns having multiple parallel monofilament

Generally, this invention relates to papermakers' belts for use in papermaking machines which comprise ultra high modulus load bearing yarn comprised of poly(para-phenylene terephthalamide).
