At the New York Market - A pair of industry veterans is making the rounds this week their newest product, patented a natural rubber latex called Vytex NRL, which is produced from a 100% renewable resource - the Hevea brasiliensis tree.

Beacon Sales and Business Solutions' managing partners Steve McGee and Tedd Smith forged an agreement earlier this year with Vytex producer Vystar Corporation has forged an agreement just ahead of last spring's New York Home Fashions Market to launch the Vytex brand into the home textiles industry with natural rubber latex pillows and foam mattresses.

"We are the raw material supplier to the end seller," said McGee. "These are problem-solving products rather than just eco products."

The process used to create Vytex removes proteins from the rubber so it is clean and odor-free. Vytex has received FDA approval for use in the medical sphere, he added. The product is also 100% biodegradable.

Said Smith: "It is a pure and healthy product."
