Abstract: A linoleum composition comprising Bedford cement as a binder, wood flour as a filler, and wax in an amount effective to provide the wood flour filler with hydrophobic properties.

Abstract: Described herein are surface coverings comprising a carrier, a first linoleum composition comprising a first inorganic filler, a first organic filler and linoleum cement, and a second linoleum composition comprising a second inorganic filler, a second organic filler and linoleum cement. Methods of making and using these surface coverings are also described herein.

Abstract: A coating composition and a floor product are disclosed. The coating composition has a biobased component that includes urethane acrylate, vinyl ether, or polyester acrylate. The coating composition includes at least about 5% by weight of renewable and/or biobased component. The coating composition is radiation curable, formed by acrylating a biobased polyol acrylate, and reacting the biobased polyol acrylate with polyisocyanate to form a biobased resin. The floor product includes a cellulosic substrate and a biobased coating applied to the cellulosic substrate.

Abstract: Described herein are biobased plasticizer compositions comprising a compound having the structure of Formula I: wherein R is C6-C18 alkyl; along with methods of making and using same.

Abstract: Described herein are flooring systems comprising an underlayment; and a substrate comprising a core comprising a binder; and a filler; wherein the binder and filler are present in a specific weight ratio. Also described are methods of making and using same.

Abstract: A biobased plasticizer and a surface covering are disclosed. The biobased plasticizer includes an ester formed as a reaction product of a furan derivative selected from the group consisting of furoic acid, furfural and furfuryl alcohol reacted with a carboxylic acid or an alcohol, or includes an ester formed as a reaction product of a biobased aromatic compound and a biobased aliphatic compound. The surface covering is plasticized with a composition comprising an ester formed as a reaction product of a functionalized aromatic heterocyclic compound reacted with a carboxylic acid or an alcohol.
