Claim 19:
20. Apparatus comprising:
a continuous process belt comprised of woven warp and weft fibers,
wherein the warp fibers include glass warp fibers having a first diameter and metal warp fibers having a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter such that the glass warp fibers extend outwardly beyond the metal warp fibers on an outer surface of the belt,
wherein the weft fibers extend transversely to the warp fibers and comprise at least one of metal weft fibers and glass weft fibers,
wherein a plurality of passages extend through the belt between the warp and weft fibers,
wherein the passages occupy a cumulative area that is at least 30% of an area of the outer surface of the belt,
a coating comprised of fluoropolymer, wherein the coating extends on fiber surfaces which comprise the entire outer surface of the belt.
