LINOIL – Linoleum is the advanced solution that rewrites the rules of the surfaces in matt finishes for furniture, by concentrating on the respect of the environment, throughout the process of sourcing the raw materials right through to the final production. This surface for furniture is composed of raw materials which are all almost entirely natural, that ensure a neutral impact on the CO2 emissions from their collection to the supply of the product from the factory (Cradle to Gate). When they reach the end of use, the surface can be separated from the main board and burnt to produce energy.

The sustainability of this new product actually begins from its composition: six elements of natural origin that merging together allow you to create plasmabile, versatile and resistant surfaces. A fundamental component is the oil from the flax seeds extracted by a pressing process. To this is added pine resin, which contrasts the accumulation of static loads preventing the bacterial profileration, wood dust, obtained from wood only from certified forests, and the calcium carbonate powder, used as a filler. Then finally the pigments are added, to achieve the surface colour selected. The sixth element is the support layer, 90% cellulose, obtained from biological organic farming, onto which a paste is applied and used as a strengther.

The process starts with the oxidation of the flax seeds which are mixed with the pine resin to obtain a dense and compact material. This is then stored for a few days before being mixed with other elements. The final product is then dried in a temperature controlled environment until it reaches the perfect maturity.
