Today many foams are made with other blowing agents. However, some low VOC-emitting adhesives can be found on the market today, and more are expected soon. Carpets and carpet cushions have low VOC emissions. The sink capacity of cushions has not been determined. Non-SB latex backings are available and becoming more popular.
Polyurethane is one common non-SB backing.
