Abstract
The present invention provides a textile material comprising a tightly woven paper fabric having a backing applied on only one side. The tight weave allows the backing to be applied as a liquid, whereupon curing cause the liquid to harden. The backing confers additional strength and durability to the paper fabric and allows mass production of paper fabrics by the formation of a continuous sheet that can be cut to desired dimensions and shapes without fraying at the edges. The present invention also provides methods for forming tightly woven fabrics and for applying a backing onto this fabric.

A textile material, comprising:
- a fabric comprising a first set of paper yarns in a warp direction woven with a second set of paper yarns in a substantially perpendicular weft direction;
- and
- a backing positioned adjacent one side of the fabric and an opposing side of the fabric free of the backing.
A method of producing a textile material, comprising:
- weaving a first set of paper yarns in a weft direction with a second set of paper yarns in a substantially perpendicular warp direction to form a fabric;
- and
- applying a backing to only one side of the fabric.
A textile material comprising:
- tightly woven paper yarns having a polymer precursor positioned on one side of the material and an opposing side of the material free of the precursor.
A textile material comprising:
- tightly woven paper yarns having a liquid having a viscosity of at least about 50 centipoise positioned on one side of the material and an opposing side of the material free of the liquid.
A textile material, comprising:
- a woven paper fabric having a latex backing positioned on only one side.
A textile material, comprising a tightly woven material, a viscous liquid positioned on one side, and an opposing side free of the viscous liquid.
