An endless impervious, oil, abrasion, and crush resistant belt for use with papermaking machinery such as presses, especially of the extended nip type for the mechanical removal of water from a web of paper including a urethane coating impregnating a portion of a woven base providing multiple layers of base void of urethane and the portion impregnated impervious to oil, water, and air. The impregnated surface of the belt is made smooth and uniform in thickness through a grinding and polishing operation to act as a hydraulic bearing surface. The portion of the base void of urethane is capable of receiving and carrying water essential in the papermaking process.

Extended nip press belt having an interwoven base fabric and an

A wet press felt for use on papermaking machines is disclosed. The wet press felt of the invention comprises a conventional felt fabric having a special finish or surface for receiving the paper sheet. This special sheet surface comprises a layer of a substantially uniform, non-woven spun-bonded, synthetic organic filaments which are substantially round in cross-section and randomly distributed throughout the layer.

A method is disclosed for the manufacture of textile fabrics having resin coated components. The method comprises coating staple fibers with crosslinkable polymeric resins, forming the desired fabrics from the fibers and then cross-linking the resin coating.

Resin containing textiles

A method for manufacturing a laminated foam-fabric endless belt is disclosed. A foam strip is joined endless and then stretched over an endless substrate fabric. A layer of batting is needled into the foam and substrate fabric to form an integral laminated belt. Several layers of batting may be applied to increase the weight of the belt to a desired level.
