At least certain embodiments of the present invention relate to flooring products, methods of producing flooring products, and 
polyurethane compositions for use in flooring products, for example, for forming a layer of 
polyurethane on a 
textile, fabric or material, such as a flooring fabric. The compositions comprise the 
reaction product of 
castor oil having a 
water content of less than or equal to about 0.2% by weight; a monol, and an 
isocyanate, wherein the reactants have a 
soft segment functionality of about 2.0 to about 2.64. Methods of using the compositions and flooring products including the compositions are also disclosed. At least selected embodiments may provide compositions for use in floor coverings having a show surface such as a 
textile or fabric face material in contacting overlying relation to a 
polyurethane backing with or without additional structures, 
layers, backings, and / or the like, as well as apparatus, processes, and / or methods for making such floor coverings, uses for such floor coverings, and / or the like. In at least one particular embodiment, a
