Three dimensional fabrics are developed in regard to their thickness and heat resisting properties in order to overcome defects in surface combustion burner mats that use paper dryer furnaces, such as glass processed furnaces and food heater furnaces. Shrinkage yarn is twisted from metallic yarns and water-soluble shrinkage yarns. The non-shrinkage yarn makes use of twisted union yarn of metallic yarns and water-soluble non-shrinkage yarns. As a result of performing weaving operations that make use of combination weaving, it become feasible to produce fabrics superior in high-density and shape stability to corrugated paper construction. We propose that these fabrics will be used as materials.
