New Generation WSB Triple-layer Fabrics Outperform SSB
With a unique Warp Self Binding (WSB) triple-layer design, FILCON’s FUJI/SAKURA series (WSB) offers remarkable advantages over SSB fabrics. Major advantages are:
Secures stable drainage properties until the end of product life
Higher retention without sacrificing drainage capability
Good fiber agitation and high dispersion
Higher fiber support with satin weave surface
★ A Patent-Pended Fabric Design
A SOLUTION TO INTERNAL WEAR
FUJI/SAKURA series (WSB) Structure
When tension is applied, top and bottom layers are bound tightly by MD yarns.
FUJI/SAKURA series (WSB)
Minimal internal wear between two layers
Optimal drainage properties throughout fabric life
Basic SSB Structure
Due to the CD yarn structure of SSB weaves, top and bottom layers are bound less tightly than WSB.
Common SSB
Less tightness results in greater internal wear
Less-efficient drainage properties

FUJI/SAKURA series (WSB) Characterized As “Controlled Drainage”
FUJI/SAKURA series (WSB) Triple-layer
Controlled drainage delivers:
・Less fiber mat
・Higher retention
・Higher fiber dispersion

“Fast and Strong Drainage”
Triple-layer SSB
Fast and strong drainage causes:
・Fiber mat
・Forming board fiber loss
・Minimized fiber dispersion
FUJI/SAKURA series (WSB) Advantages over SSB Designs
Good fiber agitation and drainage brought by Moderate Drainage with semi-straight through structure.
Higher retention without sacrificing drainage capability by excellent fiber support with satin weave surface.
