Abstract: The present invention relates to a linoleum-based planar structure, a process for
the preparation of such a planar structure as well as the use of the planar
structure, for example, as a floor covering. The linoleum-based planar structure
according to the present invention is particularly characterized by containing over
the whole cross section flakes comprising an organic polymeric material, the
flakes being compatible with the linoleum base composition and having a particle
size in the range of 0.5 to 10 mm and a thickness in the range of 1.0 to 100 µm.
Such a planar structure according to the present invention displays a smooth plain
surface without the need of any grinding step. Moreover, the incorporation of such
flakes enables a broad variety of designing and patterning, particularly the
development of a distinctively, coarsely patterned "spotting structure".
