From leather veneer walls to slate benches, all are made from recycled wood, cork or leather. A few days ago, at an exhibition in the field of architecture, materials and systems held in Munich, Germany, Wacker Chemie AG exhibited NFC, a natural fiber composite material developed in cooperation with a partner company, which can turn waste into beautiful decorative materials.

It is understood that with this kind of material, innovative floor coverings and veneers can be produced from natural fibers such as cork, leather or wood. For example, slate cork flooring that can be warmed with a special powder binder based on vinyl acetate and ethylene VAE copolymers, where the locking system can be easily laid or recycled from waste leather. Material production of furniture veneer and ground ply. Currently, WACKER's newly established processing natural fiber project platform can provide a variety of new uses, especially in the field of floor covering, interior decoration and furniture industry. This new type of composite material has excellent adhesion to natural fibers such as cork or wood, and it can also adhere very well to various substrates with vastly different properties.

According to industry insiders, this new natural fiber composite material makes full use of raw materials such as wood, cork or leather to effectively protect resources.
