Abstract: A resilient floor covering with a regenerative, dirt-repellent surface contains a matrix based on natural and/or synthetic materials and at least one substance that is capable of migrating within the matrix and the amount of the substance is in excess of its compatibility in the matrix. The resilient floor covering according to the invention preferably has an embossed surface and a matrix, into which a particulate material with greater hardness than that of the matrix is incorporated. The floor covering is characterized by improved soiling behavior and increased wear resistance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition based on renewable raw materials which is particularly characterized by containing at least one tin-containing compound, an article made thereof as well as a process for the preparation of such an article. The composition according to the present invention exhibits an increased curing rate, i.e. a shortened “incubation time”, compared to those compositions based on renewable raw materials currently available in the prior art. Furthermore, the composition according to the present invention can advantageously use particularly in casting and rotational casting processes, respectively.

Abstract: Disclosed is a flexible multilayer flat material which contains at least one wear layer and/or cover layer having at least one flat reinforcement material located in it. In particular, the invention concerns a flexible multilayer flat material comprising at least one cover layer, with at least one flat reinforcement material, preferably a nonwoven material, embedded in the cover layer. On one hand, the reinforcement material provides the multilayer flat material with improved mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and/or resilience, and, on the other hand, the reinforcement material simultaneously allows the decoration of such flat materials in its function as a printable image carrier.
