What properties and characteristics does natural linoleum have

The natural flooring was invented in the 17th century: the fabric was covered with a mixture of bee wax, resin, linseed oil with the addition of dye. Later they began to add cork tree bark. Over time, the components changed to an inexpensive semblance of originals. Flax oil was replaced with linoxine, due to which the coating was called linoleum. The appearance of the material was not too attractive, had the smell of fish oil, but was wear -resistant.
