A method for producing a non-woven textile, and a non-woven textile

Abstract

The invention provides a method for producing a non-woven textile, comprising: i) applying a layer of a dispersion comprising dispersion medium and biobased first fibers (110) on a support, wherein the biobased first fibers (110) are fibers derived from a micro-organism cultured in a liquid culture medium, and wherein, prior to said applying, a plasticizer has been added to the dispersion; ii) depositing reinforcing second fibers (120) on the layer of the dispersion, wherein the reinforcing second fibers (120) are separate fibers which are not part of a fabric, and wherein the second fibers have an average length that is at least 10×the average length of the first fibers; and iii) eliminating the dispersion medium to form the non-woven textile (100) comprising a web of biobased first fibers (110). A non-woven textile, and seamless as well.
