Vinyl flooring, especially good quality stuff, is very durable, works well
on a floor.  You might ask a cabinet shop about the application you are
proposing.  When I redid home kitchen cabinets, some shops did have vinyl
material they used for cabinet tops.  I elected not to use it, going for a
quartz cabinet top instead.  But it was offered.  Generally, folks who want
plastic cabinet tops go for something like Formica brand material, which is
a bit more resistant to dents and cuts than vinyl.
