According to Voith, many areas, such as the aerospace industry, already benefit from the extraordinary material characteristics of carbon, which offers very good stability and can withstand high mechanical stresses. Therefore, it notes, the machine clothing industry has worked for some time to integrate CNT into forming fabrics, to reduce strain and increase wear resistance.
When used on the pilot machine, the monofilament thread developed in the Voith Paper Materials Research Center proved to be extremely stable and robust. The company is thus continuing to work intensively on bringing CNT for forming fabrics onto the market. The forming fabric is currently also the world's largest CNT product to be used in an industrial production application.
