Schematic Production Process
|
 |
Step 1
|
Manufacture of Linoleum cement
By adding oxygen to the boiled linseed oil it achieves a certain viscosity. Adding resins the mixture thus arising is linoleum
cement.
|
|
Step 2
|
Further processing to make a finished linoleum mass
The linoleum cement is mixed with cork and wood flour, mineral fillers and the colour pigments.
|
|
Step 3
|
Calendering
Linoleum calenders roll out the finished linoleum mass on woven jute.
|
|
Step 4
|
The maturation process
The linoleum is taken directly from the calender to heated oxidation chambers and hung in loops. After three weeks the linoleum
is ready to use.

The greatest impact on the environment arises through our production sequence. On the one hand, we need electrical power to
operate our machines, and on the other hand we need heat energy in the form of steam to heat the necessary rollers and other
production stages.
We take responsibility for our own actions. For this reason we have developed and introduced an environmental management system
in our company in conformity with Directive (EG) No. 761/2001 – also called the 'EU Environmental Audit Directive' and 'DIN
EN ISO 14001'.
Both certifications strive for the same target: a continuous improvement of environmental protection.
