The IronSides platform of products has unique properties that set it apart from other high performance dryer fabrics. The fabric provides edge protection where most heat, hydrolytic and oil degradation occurs. Plus, the unique construction provides the superior mechanical properties of polyester in the fabric body for maximum strength and abrasion resistance. The patented MonoTier weave also allows the IronSides® edges to have 100% high performance yarns on the sheet side where hydrolysis and heat degradation are worse and 100% polyester on the non-sheet side for better abrasion resistance.
