Abstract

A process for treating papermaking fabrics, in particular dryer fabrics, includes coating the back surface of the fabric with a thickened resin mixture. To reduce the air permeability of a woven dryer fabric, the fabric is impregnated with a thickened resin mixture to thereby close up a portion of the spaces between the woven yarns. By applying a thickened resin mixture having a viscosity of between 1,000 and 5,000 centipoise to the back surface of the dryer fabric, the fabric is impregnated in a single pass with a sufficient quantity of the mixture to thereby reduce the air permeability to the desirable level.
