maximum efficiencies is becoming more and more critical. In this paper, the latest evolution of forming fabric construction with structured yarn technology will be discussed. These next-generation forming fabrics yield significant reductions in retention chemical through improved mechanical retention, increased dryness into the press section, and reduced wet end breaks from a cleaner/dryer running wet end. Evidence of these advantages will be supported through multiple case studies.
