BS/EN 686-2019 pdf download.Resilient floor coverings Specification for plain and decorative linoleum on a foam backing.
This BS/EN 686 specifies the characteristics of plain and decorated linoleum on a foam backing as a compound floor covering, supplied in roll form.
To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice, this document includes a classilication system based on the intensity oluse. which shows where resilient floor coverings provide satisfactory service.
The term linoleum’ is frequently incorrectly applied to a range of floor covenngs, often to those based on polyvinyl chloride or rubber. Such materials are not included in this document.

3.1
linoleu ni
product produced by caienaering one or more mayers om a homogeneous mixture 01 linoleum Cement, cork and/or wood flour, pigments and inorganic fillers containing a fibrous reinforcement and/or a fibrous backing; the product Is then converted into its final form by an oxidative curing process
Note 1 to entry: The only chemical crosslinking bondings In linoleum are those which are formed during the oxidation process.
3.2
linoleum enient
binder in linoleum, consisting of a mixture of linseed oil and/or other vegetable drying oils, rosin and drying oil catalysts, which is converted to a semi-elastic mass by an oxidative curing process
3.3
linoleum on a foam backing
product formed by laminating linoleum on to a foam layer
4 Identification
Linoleum shall be identitied by its ability to be disintegrated in 0,5 mol/l potassium hydroxide/methanol solution and by the determination of cement content and ash residue.
The minimum amount of linoleum cement shall be 30% when tested in accordance with EN ISO 26985.
The maximum amount of inorganic tiller (ash residue) shall be 50 % when tested in accordance with
EN ISO 26985.
