COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND MODULAR COVERING

This application describes a composite material, which can be used as modular covering for floors comprising a set of segments (1, 2) based on polymers, plant material and additives, coupled through a press fit coupling system, composed of a female part (3) with a concave shape, disposed at one of the ends of each of the segments (1, 2) and whose base has a cavity (4) with a greater width than the top, and a male part (5) at the opposite end of each of the segments (1, 2), whose base has a projection (6) to be coupled to the female part (3), in particular a cavity (4). During the coupling process, the female parts (3, 5) are subject to a controlled deformation, recovering their original shape to produce the fixing of the coupled segments (1, 2). This allows the fixing of the segments (1, 2) without recurrence to a fixing not included in the segment (1, 2) itself, avoiding the use of a fixing substructure, considering that the segments (1, 2) are applied to the surface to be covered.
