Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Plain Weave Dryer Fabric
Plain weave uses a simple over-under weave pattern creating a flatter, smoother surface than flat yarn fabrics. This translates to better paper surface properties — especially important for tissue softness and culture paper smoothness. The trade-off is generally lower tensile strength and higher permeability.
