Do I Need Anti-Static Dryer Fabrics?

FAQ

Anti-static dryer fabrics are strongly recommended for:

• Tissue paper production (static-sensitive lightweight sheets)
• Lightweight grades (<60 gsm) — static causes sheet sticking and handling problems
• High-speed machines (>1,000 m/min) — static buildup increases with speed
• Low-humidity environments — static dissipates more slowly in dry conditions

Benefits: Prevents dust attraction, sheet sticking to fabrics, and operator safety hazards.

PAPTEX Technology: Carbon-filled PA yarns woven directly into the fabric structure — provides permanent static dissipation, not a temporary surface coating that wears off.
