FAQ

Dryer Fabric Temperature Ratings by Material:

• Standard PET: Continuous 150°C / Peak 180°C
• HR-PET (Hydrolysis-Resistant): Continuous 160°C / Peak 190°C — PAPTEX standard for all dryer fabrics
• PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide): Continuous 190°C / Peak 220°C — specialty high-temperature applications
• PA (Polyamide/Nylon): Continuous 140°C — less commonly used in dryer section
