Abstract
An improved textile dryer has a dryer fabric for transporting a textile through at least one through-air drying zone. The fabric is woven from synthetic monofilament yarns. The monofilament yarn dimensions and fabric weave pattern are selected to provide permeability greater than 900 CFM and initial tensile strength measured in the machine direction of greater than about 100 PLI. The monofilament yarns are formed from polymers which provide high thermal and hydrolytic stability, thereby enabling the dryer fabric to maintain strength for extended use in the textile drying environment. Preferred monofilament yarns are made of unalloyed polyphenylene sulfide.
