“We are delighted to introduce Drysoft fabrics for the global tissue market,” said Mr. Bill Butterfield, EVP and CTO of Xerium. “In direct response to our T.A.D. customers’ requests, our research team has delivered an outstanding product portfolio to help tissue makers overcome some historical challenges with T.A.D. fabrics. Unlike some conventional T.A.D. fabrics, Drysoft seams do not use glues, coatings, or welds which can negatively influence performance and sheet quality. And with successful trials and orders in process, we are excited to see its adoption rate grow.”
