Industrial fabric that includes spirally wound material strips with reinforcement

摘要

An endless belt or sleeve for use in the production of nonwoven materials, said belt or sleeve comprising (10): one or more spirally wound strips of polymeric material (16), wherein said one or more strips of material polymeric is an industrial or tape strip material, where the strip or tape material is uniaxially oriented and has at least twice the tensile modulus of a biaxially oriented material and up to ten times the module of an extruded material , characterized in that said industrial or tape strip material includes a reinforcement material oriented in the MD of the belt or of the sleeve selected from the group consisting of fibers, monofilament threads and multifilament threads, wherein the reinforcement material is manufactured of a material selected from the group consisting of aramides, thermoplastic polymers, thermosetting polymers, glass and carbon, and wherein the melting temperature of the strip material or of tape is lower than the melting temperature of the reinforcement material.
