FY 2018-19 · 2018-06-24
Summary
Alternatives to synthetic animal leather are known for several decades. Often called leatherette, these products are composed of polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride. However, they offer little or no “breathability.” These products, consisting of a textile and plastic assembly are non-recyclable or bio-decomposable. REVEL proposes entirely plant as an alternative to the animal leather (therefore compostable), which reproduces the feeling and the performance of the animal leather by a vapour permeability of water and impermeability equivalent to leather. The visual aspect will also be reproduced. The principle is based on the combination of a substrate textile viscose derived plant fibre combined with a membrane.

Description (French)
Les alternatives synthétiques au cuir animal sont connues depuis plusieurs décennies. Souvent appelé cuirette ces produits sont constitués de polyuréthane ou de polychlorure de vinyle. Ils offrent par contre peu ou pas de « respirabilité ». Ces produits, constitués d’un assemblage textile et plastique son ni recyclable ni bio-décomposables. REVEL propose une alternative au cuir animal entièrement végétale (donc compostable) qui reproduit la sensation et la performance du cuir animal par une perméabilité à la vapeur d’eau et une imperméabilité équivalente au cuir. L’aspect visuel sera lui aussi reproduit. Le principe repose sur la combinaison d’un substrat textile de viscose dérivé de fibres végétales combiné avec une membrane.
