British designer Justin Floyd has announced the creation of a unique material, which can become a new landmark in the furniture, construction and other fields. In the message, published a number of publications, says that Solidwool (the so-called material its Creator) is a mixture of coarse wool and organic biopoly, almost do not contain toxins, which acts as a binder.
The raw materials required for production Solidwool, are exposed to high temperature and then pressed to shape.
Another interesting fact is that wool for the production of Solidwool not be suitable for all, and the inventor uses only material from sheep herdwick. It is characterized by the stiffness of the hair, which provides additional strength to the material being manufactured.
Its characteristics Solidwool, according to Justin Floyd, is not inferior to organic glass, and in terms of the heat capacity significantly surpasses it.
The inventor believes that the system can be used in furniture, plumbing, and even countertops for kitchens with sufficient strength, and according to calculations, in all these cases its use is justified not only performance, but also economic benefits.
In the near future the designer intends to establish production of a composite of wool in his home town of Buckfastleigh, which is the basis of all agriculture is the wool industry. Lately, she is experiencing not the best times, and Floyd expects the Solidwool to give impetus to the development of the city.
Will it implement its plans, it is not clear, as from finished products created from woolen material, in the presence of the designer has only a small chair. And even if the prospects of such furniture is, then wait for its mass distribution is not worth it.
