Composition and features of natural linoleum
Translated into Russian, the word “linoleum” denotes “linseed oil”. Most linoleums widely used today are synthetic substitutes for natural linoleum, which has been made from the 19th century with the indispensable use of natural oils and linen fibers.
Natural linoleum is not as common as its artificial “twin”. The reason for this is the cost. Naturally, its price is much higher than the cost of the highest quality and expensive synthetic. In all other parameters, natural linoleum exceeds artificial by several orders of magnitude.
