EPiC database - Linoleum

This material is part of the free Environmental Performance in Construction (EPiC) Database. The EPiC Database contains embodied environmental flow coefficients for 250+ construction materials using a comprehensive hybrid life cycle inventory approach.Linoleum is a composite material used for floor covering or underlay that is durable and shock-absorbing.Linoleum is made from a mixture of oxidised linseed oil, gums, resin and other additives, which are applied to a felt or canvas backing. The oil is heated in kettles, oxidises and increases in viscosity. It is blended with resin to produce a plastic material that is in turn mixed with wood flour. Additives are added and the mixture is calendered into a sheet and applied to the backing. The sheets are hardened before being sent to market.Linoleum is used as a flooring material.

本资料构成免费环境性能建设（EPiC）数据库的一部分。EPiC数据库采用全面混合生命周期清单方法，收集了250多种建筑材料的环境负荷系数。亚麻地板是一种用于地面覆盖或垫层的复合材料，具有耐久性和减震特性。亚麻地板由氧化亚麻籽油、胶粘剂、树脂及其他添加剂的混合物制成，并涂覆于毡或帆布基材之上。油料在锅中加热，氧化并增加粘度，随后与树脂混合，形成塑料材料，再与木粉混合。加入添加剂后，混合物被压制成薄片，并粘贴于基材之上。薄片经硬化处理后，方投放市场。亚麻地板作为一种地面铺设材料被广泛应用。
