Forming Fabric
SSB Triple Layer Forming Fabric
PAPTEX SSB (Surface-Support-Binder) Triple Layer Forming Fabric represents the pinnacle of forming fabric technology. Engineered with a proprietary self-binding weave structure, it combines a fine paper-side surface for superior fiber support and sheet formation with a robust wear-side for extended service life. The integrated binder yarn design eliminates separate binding layers, reducing caliper while maintaining exceptional dimensional stability. With six customizable models (LW90110, LW4080, LW3868, JLW3868, LW3560, LW3252), this fabric is tailored to your specific machine parameters — whether running tissue at 1,500+ m/min or kraft at medium speeds. The high air permeability range (10,000–21,500 m³/m²h) enables aggressive dewatering, reducing steam demand in the dryer section. Trusted by global paper mills from Indonesia to Europe, SSB Triple Layer delivers measurable improvements: 50% speed increase, 60% longer service life, and 40% fewer unplanned stops.

Double Layer Forming Fabric
PAPTEX Double Layer Forming Fabric strikes the ideal balance between performance and cost-effectiveness for medium-speed paper machines. The dual-layer construction features a fine paper-side warp for excellent fiber retention and sheet smoothness, supported by a coarser wear-side for durability. Designed for packaging, kraft, corrugated, and duplex board grades at speeds of 600–1,200 m/min, this fabric delivers consistent drainage uniformity across the full machine width. The optimized weave pattern provides 400–700 CFM air permeability with ≥60 kN/m MD tensile strength — more than sufficient for standard fourdrinier and top-former configurations. For mills seeking to upgrade from single-layer fabrics without the investment of full SSB technology, Double Layer fabric offers a compelling step up in formation quality, fiber retention, and service life at a moderate price point.

Forming Fabric
Triple Layer Forming Fabric
PAPTEX Triple Layer Forming Fabric with self-binding technology represents our heavy-duty forming solution for demanding applications. Unlike conventional triple-layer designs that use separate binder yarns, our integrated self-binding construction eliminates the binder layer entirely — reducing caliper, improving wear resistance, and maintaining consistent drainage throughout fabric life. Engineered for packaging, kraft, corrugated, white board, and specialty paper grades, this fabric handles machine speeds of 500–1,000 m/min with ease. The reinforced wear-side construction withstands abrasive furnishes and high filler content, delivering ≥90 kN/m MD tensile strength and 300–550 CFM air permeability. Field-proven at major mills including Nine Dragons and Lee & Man Paper, the Triple Layer fabric consistently extends replacement intervals by 50–70% compared to standard double-layer designs in heavy-wear positions.

Dryer Fabric
Advanced dryer fabrics designed for efficient heat transfer, moisture removal, and dimensional stability. Available in Flat Yarn, Spiral, Round Yarn, Plain Weave, and Anti-static constructions.
Dryer Fabric
Flat Yarn Dryer Fabric
PAPTEX Flat Yarn Dryer Fabric is our best-selling dryer section solution, trusted by mills worldwide for its reliable heat transfer and consistent moisture removal. The flat yarn profile creates a smooth, uniform surface that maximizes sheet contact and heat conduction while maintaining engineered air permeability for effective ventilation. Available in two models — SJ22708 (lower permeability for tissue and lightweight grades) and SJ22808 (higher permeability for packaging and board grades) — both feature 100% hydrolysis-resistant polyester monofilament construction rated for continuous operation up to 180°C. The flat profile also minimizes sheet marking, making it suitable for quality-critical grades. Field results from Sun Paper (Shandong) demonstrate a 28% improvement in drying efficiency and a 21% reduction in steam consumption after switching to PAPTEX flat yarn dryer fabrics.

Spiral Dryer Fabric
PAPTEX Spiral Dryer Fabric is engineered for the most demanding dryer section positions — high-temperature, high-tension applications where conventional flat yarn fabrics fall short. The spiral yarn construction delivers ≥70 kN/m MD tensile strength, the highest in our dryer fabric portfolio, combined with an open weave structure providing 400–1,000 CFM air permeability for maximum moisture evacuation. Constructed with hydrolysis-resistant PET spiral yarns (with optional stainless steel reinforcement), this fabric maintains dimensional stability at continuous operating temperatures up to 180°C. The spiral structure also provides natural flexibility that resists edge curl and tracking issues common in high-tension positions. A Thailand customer documented 167% longer service life (8 months vs. 3 months) with deformation reduced from 15% to just 3% after switching to PAPTEX spiral dryer fabric in their kraft machine's hottest dryer group.

Round Yarn Dryer Fabric
PAPTEX Round Yarn Dryer Fabric is purpose-designed for quality-critical paper grades where surface marking must be eliminated. The round monofilament profile creates a smooth, mark-free contact surface while maintaining uniform air flow channels through the fabric structure — ideal for tissue, printing/writing, and specialty paper grades. With 300–700 CFM air permeability and ≥45 kN/m MD tensile strength, this fabric performs reliably at speeds of 400–1,000 m/min with continuous heat resistance up to 170°C. The round yarn geometry also provides natural resistance to contaminant buildup, reducing cleaning frequency. A preferred choice for cultural paper mills and tissue producers where sheet surface quality directly impacts customer satisfaction and product grade classification.

Press Fabric
Press fabrics optimized for maximum nip dewatering, sheet surface quality, and long service life. Available in BOM, Laminated, and Needle Felt constructions.
Press Fabric
BOM Press Fabric
PAPTEX BOM (Batt-on-Mesh) Press Fabric represents the industry standard for modern press section dewatering. A fine needled batt layer is anchored to a robust woven mesh base fabric, combining superior sheet surface quality with the dimensional stability needed for high-speed, high-load press nips. Engineered for tissue, packaging, kraft, and board grades at speeds of 800–1,500 m/min, this fabric delivers 30–80 CFM air permeability with 1,200–1,600 g/m² weight for optimal nip dewatering. The fine batt layer ensures excellent sheet release at the pick-up point while the mesh base resists compaction throughout the fabric's service life. Trusted by tissue producers for its ability to maintain consistent moisture profiles across the full machine width, BOM fabric directly impacts downstream drying efficiency and final product quality.

Laminated Press Fabric
PAPTEX Laminated Press Fabric is built for the most extreme press section conditions — high nip loads, abrasive furnishes, and applications where standard BOM fabrics fail prematurely. Multiple base fabric layers are laminated together before applying the batt surface, creating an extraordinarily robust structure that resists compaction, delamination, and mechanical wear. With 1,500–2,200 g/m² weight, 3.0–5.0 mm thickness, and the ability to withstand nip loads up to 1,000 kN/m, this fabric is the definitive choice for kraft, corrugated, and board machines running shoe presses or high-load roll presses. The multi-layer base construction delivers 40–60% longer service life than single-base press fabrics. Documented at Nine Dragons Paper: a Laminated Press Fabric reduced press section breaks by 66% while maintaining consistent moisture removal over an 80-day run — nearly double the life of the previously used standard BOM fabric.
