What is the chemical formula for linoleum?

Answer 1

Linoleum was first made from linseed oil (linoxyn) with either wood or cork dust, and then is backed with canvas or burlap. In around 1940 linoleum started to be made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), however in recent years because of some of the harmful effects of polyvinyl chloride, there has been a return to the old style linoleum.

Answer 2

The chemical formula for linoleum is not a single compound, but rather a combination of natural materials such as linseed oil, rosin, wood flour, and cork dust mixed with oxidized linseed oil and resins. This mixture results in a material that is then heated and pressed into sheets for flooring.
