TORONTO, June 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Eco Depot, Inc. (OTC: ECDP), a Nevada company, Bronya Canada Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eco-Depot Inc, is pleased to announce that premier scientific lab testing organization FP Innovations recently completed a series of tests on the Bronya Climate Shield product and concluded that the liquid insulation acts as a significant fire retardant when applied to prefabricated wood panels.

This recent test completed by FP Innovations comes on the heels of another recently conducted military specification test at NTS Sci-Lab that found Bronya Climate Shield to offer 24-42% increase in energy efficiency. Bronya products undergo rigorous testing by numerous respected third-party entities in an effort to stay on the leading edge of liquid insulation technology. Investors are warmly invited to peruse all our test results from the various testing agencies here: https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/ECDP/disclosure

Eco Depot CEO Daniel Gosselin commented: "Bronya Climate Shield now has two recent independent labs that have conducted important tests and provided conclusive results on our premier liquid insulation product. Based on the findings of these two tests from two internationally respected laboratories, the Company can proclaim with authority that Bronya Climate Shield offers significant improvements in energy efficiency while also providing substantial fire-retardant properties to wood surfaces. We think that these tests greatly enhance the overall appeal for Climate Shield to be used everywhere from hospitals to hotels to homes." 

FP Innovations test results showed an average time to ignition of Climate Shield coated wood to be 22.7 minutes and the time to reach 300°C at the back-surface of the wood to be 25.38 minutes when exposed to fire-inducing heat in a controlled environment. These times represented a significant improvement when compared with a similar product used for bench-marking that showed ignition at about 18 minutes.

The FP Innovations report concluded: "The main objective consists of evaluating the potential for reducing inflammability of wood components when protected with a Bronya intumescent thermal [liquid insulation] coating. The test results suggest that this formulation, as applied by the client, would provide the required thermal protection to OSB web panels when tested as per AC 14 for fire-resistance equivalency to nominal 2x10 lumber joists."

Overview of Fire-retardant I -Joists Industry

These results will allow Bronya Climate Shield to pursue the global I-joist market size worth US$ 2.8 Billion in 2019. I-joist is an engineered wood product made from a combination of timber products such as laminated veneer timber or graded solid timber. Also known as a wooden I-beam, composite wooden joist, and plywood I-beam, I-joist has two parts, namely the web and flanges. The web is placed between the top and bottom flanges that gives it the distinct 'I' shape. The flanges resist bending, and the web helps to transmit the shear stresses, relying on plywood's panel shear capacity and dimensional stability.

We are currently working with North American Market of I-Joist producers to meet the International Residential Code (IRC) Standard. As made public in numerous newspaper articles, companies produce I-Joists. These products contain formaldehyde, a known carcinogen now involved in a class action lawsuit in over 15 states involving the following builders.

Builders involved in constructing these homes include:

• CalAtlantic Homes
• Carrier Homes
• Gerber Homes
• Great Traditions
• Homes by Whittaker (also known as New Town Homebuilders)
• Infinity Homes
• KB Homes
• K. Hovnanian Homes
• Lennar
• Mattamy Homes
• Procacci Development Company
• Pulte Homes
• Richmond American Homes
• Shea Homes
• Toll Brothers
• Village Homes
• Westport

Formaldehyde is present in dangerous levels in a large number of new homes built between December 2016 and July 2017.  The TJI joists were manufactured using formaldehyde. People who have these TJI Joists in their homes have reported that the TJI Joists produce a strong pickle-like odor, causing severe physical reactions, including nausea, headaches, difficulty breathing, and stinging and tearing eyes.
