About linoleum

cpc code 38930 covers the linoleum industry, a crucial component of the broader flooring and construction materials sector. Linoleum is a durable, eco-friendly flooring material made from natural ingredients like linseed oil, cork dust, wood flour, and other renewable resources. It has a long history of use in both residential and commercial settings, valued for its durability, low maintenance, and versatile design options.

Production process

The production of linoleum involves several key steps. First, the raw materials, including linseed oil, cork dust, and wood flour, are combined and oxidized to create a linoleum cement. This cement is then applied to a jute or canvas backing and passed through heated rollers to create the desired thickness and pattern. The finished linoleum sheets are then cut to size and prepared for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the linoleum industry include linseed oil, cork dust, wood flour, and jute or canvas backings. Specialized machinery such as mixers, rollers, and cutting equipment are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to oversee the various production stages and ensure quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of the linoleum industry is, of course, linoleum flooring. This material is widely used in both residential and commercial settings, including schools, hospitals, and other high-traffic areas. The linoleum produced under cpc code 38930 may be consumed by industries such as 54111 Construction of buildings, 54121 Construction of roads and railways, and 81100 Leasing of own or leased real estate, among others.
