COBUILDTEX: Natural Fiber-based Technical Textiles for Smart Indoor Installations

The Project aims to develop a textile-based a smart sustainable technical textiles for indoor installations. It will highlight the ability of natural fiber-blended nonwoven to form composite nonwoven material as insulating and barrier construction materials for residential or commercial applications. The project will actively engage fiber producers from the regions and bring the fibers from their location to the processing plant of the PTRI. Utilizing and upgrading PTRI’s nonwoven facilities the natural textile fibers sourced from the provinces will be treated and converted to a material suitable for the construction industry by tuning process parameters and material composition. A prototype construction materials will then be developed and designed in consultation with partner real estate builder and developer, civil and architectural forms, and/or organization.
