EcoBlu™ Products to Begin Testing and Treatment of Homes Contaminated With Chinese Drywall
Carlsbad, CA., January 7, 2010 - EcoBlu Products, Inc. (OTCBB: ECOB) announced today that it will begin testing of a new process to remediate contaminated Chinese drywall used in home construction that would eliminate the need to remove the affected drywall from the structure. The new procedure will use a combination of proprietary EcoBlu™ technologies to encapsulate the drywall on all sides to prevent the toxic fumes from escaping into the home.
EcoBlu™ is partnering with RealTime Laboratories, LLC (RTL) and Dr. Dennis Hooper to perform the testing and treatment of contaminated homes.
RTL is a Texas company that has developed, patented and validated real-time polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) DNA testing to determine the presence of sulfur and iron reducing and oxidizing bacteria in the drywall of homes with noxious sulfur odors.
"This represents another important market for EcoBlu™. Contaminated Chinese drywall is a problem affecting thousands of homes. If we can successfully remediate a home without the time and expense of removing all of the drywall, it could save homeowners a great deal of money and save neighborhoods devastated by this problem," said Steve Conboy, President and CEO of EcoBlu™ Products. "EcoBlu™ Products and RTL have been given their first order to begin testing 2 units in a 220 unit multifamily complex in South Florida. If the treatment and testing is a success, they will continue with the remaining units with a target completion date of June 2010," added Conboy.
Towers Perrin, a Stamford, Conn.-based consulting firm, estimates the total economic losses from the tainted drywall could fall between $15 billion and $25 billion, costs that rival the 10 most-expensive hurricanes in recorded history, excluding Hurricane Katrina. It's estimated that as many as 100,000 homes across the country, built between 2004 and 2007 could have defective and potentially dangerous Chinese drywall. The contaminated wallboard is cited for having excessively high levels of sulfur. Homeowners complain the fumes given off are the cause of various health problems and corrode the copper in home wiring, fixtures and appliances, including computers, televisions and air conditioners.
