Question from Bonnie Johnson
Hi Debra and Friends,
I am going to have a pre finished hardwood floor installed this winter in my small kitchen. My contractor just gave me a pamplet on something called Sound Solutions that is used under the flooring for noise control. He is always searching for things I can use during my remodel.
Debra I am really afraid of some wierd smelling thing.
Has anyone heard of this product or know if it is toxic? It mentions some kind of hypoallergy treatment that is supposed to be safe but after my reaction to Macrobid stuff I don’t want to make myself sick.
I tried to download the MSDS sheet but could not get to the part about toxins.
Thanks,
Debra’s Answer
I looked at the Sound Solution product literature.
It says the product is made from polyester fibre, manufactured from a high percentage of previously recycled polyester fibre (from PET plastic). Polyester itself has very low toxicity. “100% polyester fibre without the need for any chemical binding agents or adhesives. QuietStuf® does not contain, release or use any restricted ozone depleting substances in its composition or manufacture. There are no known hazards with the use or handling of Autex polyester insulation materials. QuietStuf® is non-toxic, non-allergenic, and non-irritant.” They also exceed GREENGUARD VOC limit requirements.
I don’t see where it mentions a hypoallergy treatment.
