A non-vinyl flooring composition is described which comprises a mineral filler distributed substantially uniformly throughout a binder comprising a blend of a heteropolymer comprising at least two C1 to C8 linear or branched alkyl acrylates of Mw from about 100,000 to about 300,000 and further characterized by at least two glass transition temperatures, one being above 25 DEG C., the other being below 25 DEG C., and a random ionic copolymer of an alpha -olefin and an alpha , beta -unsaturated carboxylic acid having 10% to 90% of the carboxylic acid group neutralized with metal ions. |
