Plant-based leather substitute material

Abstract

The technology relates to plant-based materials that may be used as a substitute for animal leather. In some embodiments, the plant-based leather substitute material has properties and performances similar or equivalent to the properties and performances of animal leather. The plant-based leather substitute material includes a textile substrate, a plant-based resin, and a non-vulcanized natural rubber. The plant-based resin and the non-vulcanized natural rubber, once mixed, are provided on the textile substrate. The plant-based resin may made from castor seed oil. The plant-based leather substitute material has water vapor-permeability, water-impermeability properties, and abrasion resistance properties similar or equivalent to the water vapor-permeability, water-impermeability properties, and abrasion resistance properties of animal leather but does not contain any animal products or derivatives thereof.
