Abstract
A press pad is provided for use in a laminate press. The pad includes a woven fabric of heat resistant strands wherein at least either the warp or the weft has a core made up of a plurality of strands within a sheath of an elastomeric material, and the other is made up of metal strands. Within the scale of the press pad, the strands making up the core lie substantially parallel to one another and to the longitudinal axis of the core. In use, therefore, when pressurized in the laminate press, the core structure collapses as the strands making up the core move relative to one another and the core tends to flatten out. This increases the springiness and compensation ability of the press pad without any loss of heat transfer ability.
