Claims20
A linoleum composition comprising:
- a binder comprising Bedford cement;
- a filler comprising wood flour;
- and
- a wax present in an amount ranging from 0.1 wt. % to 0.5 wt. % based on the weight of the linoleum composition, thereby providing the wood flour filler with hydrophobic properties.
A flooring material having a front major surface and a rear major surface opposite the front major surface, the flooring material comprising a linoleum composition layer that comprises:
- a binder comprising Bedford cement;
- a filler comprising wood flour;
- and
- a wax present in an amount ranging from 0.1 wt. % to 0.5 wt. % based on the weight of the linoleum composition.
A flooring material having a multi-layer structure comprising a first linoleum composition layer and a second linoleum composition layer, wherein at least one of the first linoleum composition layer and the second linoleum composition layer comprises:
- a binder comprising Bedford cement;
- a filler comprising wood flour;
- and
- a wax present in an amount ranging from 0.1 wt. % to 0.5 wt. % based on the weight of each of the first or the second linoleum composition layers;
- wherein the first linoleum composition layer and the second linoleum composition layers are bonded together at an interface therebetween.
