Heloo fellows, yet another question ;)

 

this is more of a safty based question tho :)

 

Now the B2 pads look fantastic, with all the goodys packed away inside them,

 

But... is the form that holds all the items in place made from Asbestos? or is it just hardend wool fibers?

 

anyone have any info on this fellows? I could see how the Asbestos would help to keep everything in good shape in case of fire or even pressure... But very lost on this. and any help would be greatfull :)

 

Kind regards and many thanks ;)

I would doubt they would use a "strategic material" like asbestos for such a use but, then, I could be totally full of it.

I believe its some sort of highly compressed fabric blend maybe with horse hair or something similar thrown in. Does not look like asbstos to me....

Yes I did think it looked like the horse hair or similar fabric, much like the filling in old chairs etc,

 

but I also know that asbstos was well used in the 40's from wire coverings to fire drapes etc

 

thanks for the replys tho guys
