Talatech® latex, the sleep product industry’s highest quality, most
consistent, breathable and resilient comfort material available in the
world, is a natural, environmentally friendly product for mattresses and
pillows.
Latex International’s mattress components and pillow products feature
Talatech® latex which is produced using the eco-friendly Talalay
process.
- The Talalay process features natural, biodegradable ingredients
that come from renewable resources and water-based raw materials:
natural latex, air and water.
- Natural latex is actually a rubber-based material that comes
from the tropical hevea brasiliensis tree which is harvested to
produce a resilient, cushioning foam that instantly conforms to
every body contour for optimal comfort and support.
- Air is infused into the latex compound to create latex foam’s
open cell structure that provides a cooler sleep surface.
- Latex International washes every mattress core using a 5 stage
washer to ensure purity.
- Energy: Our factory manufacturing automation allows us to
optimize energy usage for the molding stage (freezing and baking
portion) of the Talalay process. The factory also features energy
efficient lighting.
- Water: LI has engineered its multi-stage washer to minimize the
amount of water consumed.
- LI’s process does NOT use solvents. It does NOT damage the ozone
layer. We do not have to use scrubbers or external filtration as we
do not emit harmful elements into the air. In fact, Latex
International’s Talalay latex is certified by Oeko-Tex (Europe’s
highest environmental consumer product standard) to be free of
harmful substances or chemicals.

Oeko-Tex® Standard 100
The Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is a globally
uniform testing and certification system for textile raw
materials, intermediate and end products at all stages of
production.
The
tests for harmful substances comprise substances which are
prohibited or regulated by law, chemicals which are known to be
harmful to health, and parameters which are included as a
precautionary measure to safeguard health.
A tested textile product is allocated to one
of the four
Oeko-Tex® product classes based on its intended use. The
more intensively a product comes into contact with the skin, the
stricter the human ecological requirements it must fulfil.
Manufacturers are entitled to mark
successfully tested products or article groups with the
Oeko-Tex® label and to advertise in other forms as long as
it has been proven within the extensive laboratory tests that
all components, including accessories, comply with the
specified test
criteria without exception. A certificate
which is issued applies for one year and can be renewed as often
as required. |
