Does this mat contain phthalates? I intend to use it for yoga and p90x.

I honestly do not know what you are asking... not sure? Might contact the manufacturer...

To be honest I do not know the answer to your question. That is a good question though, and I hope it does not contain this substance, because I looked up what phthalates is and realized it is a substance that may cause health problems. I can tell you though that I am very satisfied with the mats so far. I do high intensity workouts on the mats and they are serving their purpose. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

I can't attest to what it contains chemically but I wouldn't want my face in it per say. It works well for my weight room and under my squat rack. Slamming the barbell down repeatedly has caused it no noticeable wear.

i use it for insanity and its great! It helps your feet get a good grip. I recommend buying a yoga mat, its not as soft and they will complement each other

Due to the involved list, I would recommend going to the Pharmaceutical Specialties website: www.psico.com, for specific lists. I do know it contains no pthalates or fragrance.

I'm not sure. I do have a manduka yoga mat and it works perfectly. I know that manduka mats are pricey but it's really worth it. I hope this helps.

I honestly don't know, package didn't specify so I have to assume that it does... It's hard to find products that are completely free of all harmful materials, as much as one tries. You can always check with Mattel to be sure, but I really doubt their products are PVC free.

The tag says "contains polyester fibres cellophane." I hope that helps it was really all I could find. I believe the cellophane is in the elephant ear to make it crinkle. We were really happy with this mat. When it gets dirty I just toss it in the wash on gentle and it has held up well. I would recommend it.

I checked the PDF for 'True Delivery Technology', which is the encapsulation type used, and there doesn't appear to be any used. If you do a Google search on "True Delivery Technology probiotics" you will see the PDF file and other sites describing it. So as far as I know, there are no harmful phthalates.

Packaging doesn't state phthalate free; I did look at several websites to check this out. The best info I could find indicates most new rubbermaid food containers have low levels of this chemical, but none tested show leaching into food. The bottom grid for this produce saver product is a hard plastic, like a lid, and very unlikely to contain these plastic softeners. I worry more about deordorants, cosmetics, anything with fragrance etc. than these particular containers. However, to be completely safe, your best bet is glass containers with hard plastic lids.

Hi,Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see this message. Yes this mat is latex and rubber free. It is also free of phthalates, and silicone. Please allow the mat a few uses to break in and loosen the jute fibers. Thanks for your interest in our product:)TashaBarracuda

Raju,Either of the mats would be great for p90x. Plenty thick and sturdy.If you want a mat and worry about slipping because you sweat then go for the SYnergy mat with the Towel top and mat botom.

I wouldn't risk it with my mat. I wash mine with Dr. Bonner's lavender scent soap mixed with distilled water in a spray bottle and a sponge after each yoga class, (I'm a big sweater in Hot Yoga). Then for big washing, I take mine to my local laundromat and put it in the big washer once a week. This is such an awesome yoga mat that it is well worth the effort in my opinion.

I just checked the Rubbermaid website in the FAQs under these trays in the product section and THESE TRAYS ARE BPA and phthalate free. And considering that, PVC seems very unlikely. I'd email Rubbermaid if you need more info. Happy to help.

This is a response I received to that question and made my DIL very happy: Erin said on January 21, 2014Update: I wrote the company asking them what this product was made out of and they kindly responded with the following: "All InterDesign products are BPA free. This product is made of PVC and it's Phthalate free."Thanks everyone for your answers!Erin

No it does not. HOWEVER these mats are really excellent. Better than the mats cost over $50 at the fancy yoga stores.

I certainly remember a bit of 'out gassing' when the waterproof cover was new, but I don't recall any chemical issue with the mat itself. That's not to say there wasn't some, but I've had my mat for several years and only remember the phenomenal reduction in pain, increase in mobility, and little else. While I notice chemical smells and am bothered when they are strong, I don't have the sensitivity that plagues some people and can't speak to whether that would be an issue for you. Perhaps you can visit a mat in person before purchasing?

Emily, according to the research I've done, it doesn't contain PVC, and thr mat has almost no off-gassing. I've been using my mat about two time a week for the last two years, and I love it. It's thick, but I can still balance on it, and it feels nice onmy knees. Hope this helps!

There is no remarkable odor. When just opened from the protective sleeve the mat came in there was a slight plastic smell. I've had the mat for months and don't smell any odor in the room it's used in, even up close there is no overwhelming smell of plastic , only a slight one.
