	Linoleum Flooring by Armstrong
		Genuine linoleum, not to be confused with vinyl, is a classic, invented nearly 150 years ago and still completely relevant today.
		Linoleum releases a harmless odor (from the linseed oil) when it is first installed, much like that of a freshly painted room.
		New linoleum sometimes has a yellow cast on the surface, called a "drying room film" that is a natural effect created by the floor's composition.

	Linoleum Flooring
		Linoleum is highly durable resilient flooring made from natural materials, a mixture of linseed oil, wood flour, and pine resin, which is pressed onto a jute-fiber backing.
		Linoleum flooring is made by mixing pine resin, wood flour, and powdered cork with oxidized linseed oil, which is formed into sheets on a jute backing.
		Linoleum is more expensive than vinyl, but offers performance that is in many ways superior: linoleum lasts for decades (reducing cost and waste), is inherently anti-static (inhibiting dust accumulation), and is anti-bacterial.

	Conductive linoleum floor covering - Patent 6462123
		The production of linoleum has been known for a long time and is carried out by first mixing all components such as linoleum cement, at least one filler and at least one coloring agent in a mixing unit, e.g., a kneader, rolling mill or extruder, to form a matrix that is as homogenous as possible.
		To produce a one-colored linoleum covering, the mixed mass thus obtained is supplied to a rolling mill and, under pressure, at a temperature of typically 10.degree.
		Since the linoleum floor covering sheets thus obtained still do not have adequate tensile strength and compressive strength, they are dried in a subsequent maturing process in maturing chambers at a temperature of about 40.degree.
