Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method for creating different bio-based, natural composite textile materials. In the system and method described herein, a non-woven fabric is used as a backing material upon which the bio-based, natural composite materials are applied in one or more coating layers, resulting in a bio-based and substantially biodegradable textile material that provides high performance in consumer industries, such as the footwear industry.
Claims20
A method for producing a bio-based textile material, comprising:
- applying a first coating to a reinforcement backing material, wherein the first coating includes a slurry containing mushroom material and natural rubber material,
- drying the reinforcement backing material with the first coating;
- flattening a surface of the reinforcement backing material with the first coating,
- applying a second coating to the reinforcement backing material, wherein the second coating includes a slurry containing a natural rubber material and wherein the second coating is applied on top of the first coating;
- applying a third coating to the reinforcement backing material, wherein the third coating is applied on top of the second coating;
- and
- adjusting the thickness of the reinforcement backing material.
