A single layer forming fabric is the least complex of the weave pattern categories and the 4, 5 shed and 8 shed configurations are still widely used in the paper making industry. And single layer forming fabrics for paper making are also applied in the manufacturing of multi-layer forming fabrics due to their good paper sheet forming properties.


5 shed weave design
- Goof wear resistance and drainage
- Light wire marks


Applications
- Writing and printing papers


8 shed weave design
- The best wear resistance in single layer series
- Good drainage & life potential
- Heavy wire marks
For kraft papers, fluting & test liner papers, card boards.
A single layer forming fabric has the simplest weave pattern. It is composed by one CD yarn and one MD yarn system. Single layer forming fabrics can be woven into various patterns for different performance and applications.
