You might write a company such as Hoffman and ask if they make one,
this is true, I have a bolt of the "batik" made for dying and it is nothing more than a tightly woven fabric made to BATIK dye/paint. Any other fabric that is a "white" batik will have, yellow, blue, brown, etc in it so that you can see it is "batiked". which is really just painted with dye and salt, no real batiking method is used in making those!
