Fire Retardants in Latex Green cores?
|
http://www.latexgreen.com/fr.html I was researching (yeah what is new) the Dunlop latex made by Latex Green and found something about fire retardants in the cores. It of course doesn't say what they use. Budgy do you know, or anyone else? |

Wow Budgy that is interesting, carbon huh? Are they selling those in the US? I am not interesting in the fire retardants, I don't smoke and if I don't wake up fast enough to run from a fire then I am not as light of a sleeper as I thought LOL. Thanks for informing us of that information. |

| i don't think ive seen anyone selling latex green's version of it...but I distinctly remember seeing one website in the US that was selling this type of latex...I believe there are several asian companies making this type of product now. I think a lot of it stems from the way they use their latex cores there. Most people in SE Asia that sleep on a latex bed probably have only a very simple covering to keep the cost down and also because they would maybe have a preference to sleep as directly as they can on the rubber. They might have their own basic fire codes there to follow and using this graphite in the mix would allow them to do this very cheaply. Lets keep in mind that latex is actually very flammable without something added...so it would give them some minimal protection. |
