Abstract: A halogen-free flooring material has been discovered which is not based on polyvinyl chloride and which comprises olefin polymers in combination with organic and inorganic fillers. The flooring material generally comprises a polypropylene copolymer and homopolymer, a crosslinked ethylene polymer, organic and inorganic fillers, a flame retardant and an antistatic agent.

Abstract: A flooring material comprises 30-70 parts by weight of a copolymer of ethylene and an .alpha.-olefin having 4-10 carbon atoms, preferably an ethylene/octene copolymer, 20-40 parts by weight of polypropylene, 5-20 parts by weight of a crosslinked ethylene polymer, preferably a copolymer of ethylene and an ethylenically unsaturated silane compound, 10-25 parts by weight of an organic filler, preferably polyethylene having a melt index below 0.1 g/10 min (190.degree. C./21.6 kg) and a phase stability in the flooring material of at least about 200.degree. C., 0.2-7 parts by weight of a flame retardant, preferably silicone and magnesium stearate, 0.1-2 parts by weight of an antistatic agent, and 0.1-1 part by weight of a stabiliser. The flooring material is free from inorganic fillers.
