As BREATHAIR® is made from polyester-elastomers, in the unlikely event of it catching fire and burning, the amount of toxic hydrogen cyanide gas that will be released is small.

Polyurethane, which is widely known as a cushion material, releases much more toxic hydrogen cyanide gas than BREATHAIR® when it burns. Consequently it is disposed of in landfill sites.

Moreover, in recent years people are realizing that toxic gas is an issue when a fire breaks out in a confined or sealed space and there is a growing demand for cushion materials that do not release toxic gases in the unlikely event of these materials catching fire.
