1. Apparatus comprising:
a process belt comprised of a woven rectangular planar structure with opposed longitudinal ends that are joined together to form an endless belt which includes an inner surface and outer surface,
wherein the woven planar structure includes
metal and glass warp fibers which extend in parallel and in the longitudinal direction,
metal or glass weft fibers which extend transversely of the warp fibers,
wherein the glass warp fibers have a larger diameter than the metal warp fibers such that the glass warp fibers extend transversely outward beyond the metal fibers on the outer surface,
a coating comprised of fluoropolymer, wherein the coating extends on the entire outer surface,

a plurality of passages that extend through the planar structure, wherein the passages extend between the inner surface and the outer surface and occupy at least 30% of the area of the outer surface.
