ADDITIONAL FACTS

1- Wood is the only biodegradable and recyclable building material on the planet.
2- There are 82% more hardwoods today than 40 years ago.
3- Wood is recyclable, biodegradable and durable-sometimes lasting for centuries. When it is no longer needed, it can be returned to the earth.
4- Wood products make up 47 percent of all industrial raw material manufactured in the United States, yet consume only 4 percent of the energy needed to manufacture these industrial materials
5- BluWood is Safe for your family, renewable, recyclable, cost effective, and energy conscious

Who are we?
Eco-Globe Innovations Co. is an east-coast home based corporation founded in 2010 by Carlos Alvarez and Hector Aleman. It all came about from their concern about our planet and finding solutions to help society live in a safer environment and home. Eco-Globe Innovations Co. is an eco-friendly company that sells a high-quality and technologically advanced product that promotes an improvement to the environment through BluWood International.

What is BluWood?
BluWood is the name given to the family of wood frame building components with a factory-applied, proprietary two-part coating system

Part I - The Infusion Process
This technology forms a water-repellent, semi-vapor permeable coating that interlocks with the wood fibers to provide controlled topical and subsurface moisture absorption. The key to mold control is MOISTURE CONTROL. BluWood components limit uncontrolled moisture absorption. The Infusion Process is specifically formulated to resist mold fungus growth on the surface of the cured coating.

Part II - The Perfect Barrier DOT Wood Preservative
A proven fungicide and insecticide that provides protection from rot, fungi and wood ingesting insects, including Formosan termites.

Where can this product be used?
Can be used for:
" Entire wood frame structure of homes including all panels and engineered wood products
" Decking, fencing and other outdoor projects
" Fascia, window and door stock, molding, wood flooring
" Siding, shakes and shingles
" Furniture

What separates our product from the competition?
Controlling moisture absorption is the most effective method of preventing mold growth.
Closely monitored application takes place in a licensed factory to ensure complete and consistent coverage that doesn't interfere with building construction. This high level of quality assurance is difficult to achieve with other mold preventive products, only available as a job site application.

How long does the product last?
BluWood is supported by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, transferrable to qualified successors with a 10-Year warranty, and can be transferred an unlimited number of times for 30 years.

Does this system have any effect on the structural properties of wood?
No. There are no adverse changes in the structural properties of wood when coated with BluWood.

When does the product become effective?
The reaction with wood is immediate. Once the coating is cured, all components can be exposed to the weather.

What are the environmental, toxicological or regulatory concerns with the handling or disposal of BluWood building components?
" BluWood can be recycled
" has the same disposal requirements as non-treated wood
" has virtually no VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds)
" can be released into the environment
" is non-hazardous, non-polluting and non-carcinogenic
" BluWood contributes no additional gassing or odor to wood

Will the moisture controlling properties of the product have any effect on splitting, checking, warp, bow and other "natural" wood properties?
Yes. The water repellent property of BluWood greatly reduces the intake of moisture. The vapor permeable quality slows the moisture vapor transfer from the environment AND from within wood.
Builders often experience more "usable" wood on the job site, especially after the framing package has been delivered to the job site and been exposed to rainfall or high moisture. Conditioning building components with BluWood reduces unusable lumber left over on the job site, reducing lumber waste factors by as much as 25% to 50% on extended projects where wood framing is exposed to the weather for longer periods of time.

Are there any other job site benefits of the moisture controlling properties of BluWood with wood framing materials?
Yes. By controlling the water AND moisture absorption into the surface, changes in weather can be less of a delay during the framing stages of construction.
Multi-family builders have reported fewer delays in construction due to the ability to work in high moisture and even light rain conditions. Using BluWood coated building components allows a contractor to continue after such events without the concern of trapping moisture within structural components that can lead to mold growth.

Will BluWood have any negative impact on truss plates, hangers and connectors?
No. Industry recognized third party testing was performed for corrosion on metal plates used for structural components.
Results confirmed that this protective coating is non-reactive, and within 2% of the results of untreated wood. In addition, major truss plate manufacturers have performed lateral resistance tests and similarly concluded that BluWood treated lumber has no adverse effects when used with plates, hangers or connectors.

Does BluWood replace code required termite treatment programs (Primary Termite Treatment)?
No. Compliance with local code requirements for approved termite protection provided by a professional Pest Control Operator is still required. However, our warranty will be in effect, once the primary termite warranty claim provision is exhausted.
