Question from Nancy

We want to install bamboo flooring in our bedroom and they are click in floor boards so there would be no gluing needed. The brand name is Golden Select. However it has a foam underlay and so far I have been unable to find any specific information on the safety of this underlay. It would be a quality floor and quite reasonable as we could install it ourselves and we can purchase it locally. The sales rep from Golden Select told me: The glue used for gluing the underlay is called LS-688C and the chemical used in the foam underlay is called XPE. I have asked him for MSDS sheets but have not heard back (Golden Select is a Canadian company). I also wrote to another company that uses this structural adhesive LS-688C in cars but have not heard anything. I also wrote to the Chinese company that makes the XPE foam but have not heard back.

I am hoping you or your readers may have be able to offer some additional help or ideas.

Thanks very much Deb for all your good works!

This isn’t enough information for me to research this. They need to provide an MSDS to you.

Readers, any experience with this product?
